Fashion Spotlight: Lucy Bedewi
When it comes to style, have you ever wondered, “How do people pull off looking SO put together everyday?”
If this thought has ever crossed your mind like it has mine, you have come to the right place. I discovered the key to having your outfit look perfect on every occasion, and just in time for the holidays.
There is a lot more that goes into dressing every day than a natural knack for style. Regardless of the place that you are at with your natural ability to dress yourself, working with a professional can go a long way to amp up your style and have you looking and feeling your absolute best in what you wear.
Enter: Lucy Bedewi.
Lucy is a personal stylist and consultant based out of Washington D.C. but the amazing thing is that you can work with her from anywhere. I Facetimed her from my home here in Houston with my entire wardrobe out to get the scoop on how to rock what I’ve got, both in terms of wardrobe and body-type.
Lucy began the session by having me walk through my favorite pieces to get a feel for my style to stay true to that in her consultation. She classified my style in a way that made sense to both of us and gave us some categories to work with in terms of my current wardrobe.
Our next matter of business was accessories. I love wearing interesting vintage pieces all day long but I’m often stumped when it comes to accessorizing. Lucy explained, “The main thing to keep in mind with accessories is keeping the theme in mind” referring to the themes of my style we had developed earlier in our conversation.
Talking to Lucy was like talking to my friends when gaining their valuable insight on a subject matter, genuine and not at all strained. I felt comfortable explaining the areas that I like to highlight and to hide with my clothing and Lucy had the style insight to give me more options for doing exactly that.
Working with my love for vintage pieces, Lucy gave me some tips on how to keep those pieces accentuating the right areas and suggested some new ways to pair them with more pieces so that I can change up my outfits with what I already own.
If you’re the kind of person that likes to shop with an objective like myself, a personal consulting session is an amazing way to get ideas of what would work for you in the upcoming season. It helps you to stay true to what’s you and to stay away from one-off purchases that you never end up leaving your closet once they leave the store.
Making the most of what I have is something that is important to me and consulting with Lucy helped me think of ways to be more resourceful with what I already own while giving me a game plan for buying some new pieces for when I go to add to my wardrobe this season. At the end of our session she sent me an email with a personalized list of the pieces we discussed investing in and options for places where I could purchase them. I featured looks here created based on our session but I’m excited to try out more of the tips I received from Lucy and see what other looks I’ll feature as a result of our session.
Lucy’s advice this season? “To have a lot of fun with ankle boots, investing in a pair of ankle boots that leave the house feeling powerful”
