When you’re all about the ‘gram, it’s crucial to learn the art of accidental prop styling. After all, what happens when the barista’s latte art looks like a never-ending vulva? Or when your avocado toast looks like a pile of mushy caterpillars?
Easy: You let go of the shit in your hands. Better yet, you throw it across the room.
And thanks to this fool-proof guide, every single item will fall into the perfect square layout, and the sun will peek out to shine upon your unintentional flat lay of junk. Besides, if it’s not on Instagram, do you even own it?
Step 1: Grab Things
The first step to fashionably dropping stuff is to pick it up. Choose whatever speaks to your brand’s soul, even if it doesn’t have one. You can always evoke more emotion and feeling with *insert vague lyrics here*
If there’s nothing around, feel free to buy a cement pot for the succulent you don’t have.
Step 2: Pick A Surface
Hopefully, your bed has those on-trend solid white bed sheets. This is especially important if you want to wear brand new shoes and comfortably drape your feet next to where your head lays at night.
Otherwise, look for the only empty spot on your floor. It’ll do.
Step 3: Twirl Around
Three times, to be exact. How else will that arm-knitted scarf gently flutter around that ball of twine from Target?
For heavier items such as obscure books you haven’t read, try a trust fall or two.
Step 4: Let Go
Now that you’ve done all the manual work, it’s time to chuck everything you’re holding. Don’t bother actually paying attention to where everything lands, because that was determined by Step 3, anyway. Simply walk over and be blown away at how stylish you are when you drop things. Hashtag lifestyle.
