8 Fredericksburg Parent and Family • February 2019 8 Fredericksburg Parent and Family • February 2019 Let's chat about the rule of three and what it means regarding style. It's something to keep in mind when thinking about your fashion goals for the rest of the year. The rule of three means your outfit contains three elements to create a more interesting and visually pleasing outfit. Easy, right? Top, pants and shoes. Done. But no, shoes don't count! I know, it's words I never thought I'd say…I mean shoes always count for me! The third piece must be a jacket, cardigan, blazer or other statement accessory (e.g., a hat, scarf, jewelry, belt or bag). Here's what you can do with them: THROW ON A JACKET. Simple, right? It's winter, so we all wear jackets and coats. However, take it a step up with a fitted faux leather or suede jacket. Moto (short for motorcycle) jackets are a great way to add edge and interest with their eye-catching buckles, zippers, and snaps. TRY A BLAZER. These aren't just for work. Try one over a camisole, tank top, or a t-shirt for a structured look. Slide on your favorite jeans and you are rocking "the three." GRAB A CARDIGAN. Chunky knits and long length cardigans are in this season. Throw one on over a top. If your top isn't fitted, try adding a knot on the side, or doing a half tuck.
