A beautiful ’50s cocktail dress with intricate details in the bodice, my leather jacket (I can’t help it – it’s a classic), a sequin skirt that I reconstructed from a dress, and my scalloped shorts.

How to dress Like Keiko

Want to get a piece of Keiko’s multi-layered look? Here are some tips to emulate her polished, put-together sense of style.

1. Layer, layer, layer.

This girl is a master at making even the simplest outfit look amazing with interesting layering techniques. Even when she’s just wearing jeans (pictured above), she adds lots of layers up top to keep the look fresh.

2. Accessorize like a pro.

Keiko always adds a great bag and a fabulous pair of shoes to every ensemble – she knows they can make or break your outfit. I also love how she throws on knee-socks and belts to really complete a look.

3. Choose neutrals and pale colors.

Keiko wears lots of light blues, nudes, greys and whites – they’ve pretty much become her signature! Keeping a wardrobe of simple colors that work well together means you can always put something new together. But have a few colorful pieces, too – you can use them, like Keiko does, to add a splash of color to a basic look.

4. Mix textures.

Keiko loves to mix textures – she’ll wear girly lace with knit sweaters, or cotton blazers with tulle. Mixing textures like this is a great way to avoid looking bulky and overdone when layering, especially in the warmer months.

5. Complete the look with your hair and makeup.

Keiko’s look always comes finished with great hair and makeup, which really pulls any ensemble together. She has some amazing makeup tutorials on her blog – they’re must-reads if you like her style. Her smokey-eye tutorials (here, here, here, and here) are some of our favorites!
