Build nine looks from fewer clothes

  • Start with two or three neutral bottoms.
  • Rotate dupattas, jackets, bangles, earrings or turbans/scarves in the daily color.
  • Borrow or rent statement pieces for the nights you attend events.
  • Photograph combinations in advance so the daily decision takes minutes.
