The first step is to choose one piece of clothing that you love. One piece that you feel comfortable and confident in, for example, your favorite pair of jeans, ideally a pair that has some sort of unique detail that makes them just a touch different and inspiring. 

This is your base. Your security. 

After slipping into that favorite pair of pants, it's time to choose the perfect top. This pieces makes the whole look. Wear whatever reflects your style, for example, this season oversized blouses are the rage. But if you want to show off your figure, a tight tank top with a racerback or a solid-colored T-shirt are timeless classics.
