5 Steps to Design A Perfect Outfit Using PolyvoreBefore you read today’s post be sure to check out last week’s guest post on What to Wear for Your Spring Engagement Session by Elaine Yu from Simply Chic Styling! It is loaded with lots of helpful tips to help you figure out what to wear. Ok, so now that you have an idea for what to wear, it’s time to do a little planning! Today I’m going to introduce you to Polyvore, an amazing tool for discovering items you might love and use them to create inspiring looks. Below are three mood boards I created for spring engagement sessions for your dressy outfits (I recommend one dressy outfit and one casual one).

It’s so important to see how you and your fiancé’s outfits will look together and Polyvore makes it so easy to do! Once I figured out how to create a template and use it to create my other mood boards, the only problem I had using it is that it is pretty addicting, so watch out!! So here’s how you do it:

1. Create an account.

Grab my template here to make sure you are including all the outfit essentials in your mood board.

Now you’ll be able to search for items on the screen to the right. You can search by category or by keyword.Design a Perfect Outfit Using Polyvore

3. Start with the main item that will inspire the rest of the mood board. I typed in “spring dresses” and tons of options came up. Once I found a dress that I loved, I dragged and dropped it into the place holder.Design a Perfect Outfit Using Polyvore

4. Create your color palette from the main item that will inspire your mood board.
To do this, click on “Women” and on “Embellishments” to see the colors in the set so far. Drag the colors you may want to use into the place holders on the bottom.

5. Add the rest of the items. Play around with the color palette until you’re happy with it and then add the rest of the items by clicking on the category tabs under both the “women” and “men” categories.

5. Voilà! Admire your outfits, get your fiancé to ok them (hopefully he will love your choices!) and start shopping! You can click on each item to purchase the items right online or pin your mood board to take with you on your shopping trip.
