This well-loved icon may be socially awkward in person, but her bubbly personality and great sense of humor are reflected by her fabulous choices in clothing. Over the years, we’ve seen Kendrick blossom on our screens, and with it her stunning dress sense. This multi-talented performer shares her secrets on how she manages to translate her charm into her fashion style for every occasion.

Her first piece of advice is to make sure that you’re committed to your clothes. Always love what you wear and if you need to talk yourself into wearing something, it’s just not gonna work. When you truly love the clothes you’re wearing, you’ll feel amazing, and you’ll want to wear them all the time. In contrast, if you need to convince yourself to buy something, chances are that you’ll never wear it, and if you do, it just won’t work.

Kendrick highly recommends tailoring and stresses that it’s not just something for guys in suits. There are reasons models always look so great in their clothes because they’re made to fit. So if there’s an item you absolutely love, but it doesn’t quite fit, it’s worth going to get it fitted! And remember to work with what you’ve got. Everyone’s bodies are different, and what looks good on a 6-foot model, might not be so flattering on someone who’s much shorter.

Express yourself with your accessories, this can be the most fun part of the outfit where you can really reflect your personality. Splurging on something that you’ll wear all season is definitely an investment worth making. If you know you’re gonna be outdoors a lot this winter, you want to make sure you’re equipped with a decent coat. And it may as well be fashionable because this is a piece of your outfit that you will probably be wearing almost every day.
