How I Became a Periodista Fashionista

Working in television, you need to have lots of wardrobe options to choose from, so I learned how to be a Periodista Fashionista by necessity! Trabajando en frente de la pantalla, hay que tener diferentes opciónes de vestuário. ¡Me convertí en Periodista Fashionista por necesidad!

At the beginning of my career, I became an expert at finding clearance items that I could mix and match. I always looked for bright colors, and jewelry that popped on screen. I received comments like, “I’ve never seen you in the same outfit twice!” But in reality, I was reusing the items in my wardrobe, just not in the same way. To be a fashionista on a budget, it is crucial to have pieces that you can mix and match! Para ser fashionista necesita comprar un vestuário que se puede utilizar varias veces en diferentes formas.

Here’s one example of what I would do to change up an outfit in an inexpensive way: use different accessories.

I would pair a bright dress with a blue necklace and blue earrings, and then another day I would pair the same dress with a completely different style of jewelry. Aquí tengo un vestido rojo que se ve diferente con un collar azúl comparado a con un collar rojo con negro y oro.

Looks different doesn’t it? Here’s another look side by side:

The key here is to use statement jewelry. For each look, the jewelry needs to be a completely different color and style. At first look, the statement jewelry looks like it’s even part of the outfit. That’s how you want it to look, so that the outfits look different. Statement jewelry can sometimes be tricky on camera, but if you keep the dress simple, the jewelry will complement the dress instead of compete with it.
