Five Items to Pick Up for Fall

Five Items to Pick Up for Fall

Yes, I know. It’s not fall. Though in my defence, it feels like fall in Edmonton and has pretty much all summer. And no, I’m not giving up summer style (see this post for what I mean) – I’m still very happy to wear dresses and rompers for many more weeks (PLEASE!). But, this is still the best time of year to pick up fall staple items, like cozy cardigans, versatile dresses, and cute booties.

How many times have you experienced the idea of not having anything to wear? Even though your closet is full of clothes you still do not have anything suitable at the moment. And the solution is buying to face your frustration.

But I have realized it is smarter to evaluate what is in your wardrobe before purchasing something new. And love and wear what you already have instead of accumulating more things.

To revamp your wardrobe, you must organize it. At least every two weeks and if possible weekly. Keeping your clothes  in a pristine way will inspire you to invent new ways to wear them.

I challenge myself on paying attention to those pieces I do not wear too often and finding new ways to combine them. This makes my combinations fresher and my clothes rotation easier. For those pieces I cannot find new ways to pair them, there will be an exit: donation, selling or recycling… And then adopting the new rule which is two exits one entrance.

To look for inspiration on how to wear my beloved clothes I usually use Pinterest by pinning looks of a specific type of clothes. This is the cheapest way to recreate new ways to wear my existing pieces.

And last but not least stop buying for a couple of months to wear continuously the things I have in my closet. Then after this period the cycle starts again… Organizing wardrobe, selecting old pieces, giving them a new twist and making good choices for the new purchases replacing the clothes you donate or sell.

 What system do you use to take advantage of your old clothes and to revamp your wardrobe?

Have a nice day. Blessings and hugs.

Let´s continue with our basics and essential. These pieces should be in your wardrobe even though you do not wear them too often.

Tank tops are versatile and all year round pieces. I wear a  tank top under my shirt when I go to school since I do not like to show my undies in front of  my students. I also like to use tanks for layering both in summer and winter time. I love those in cotton or…

When talking about fashion we have trends, classics and wardrobe essentials. Wardrobe essentials are must-haves not matter what is your style, profession or size as these pieces are the foundation of  versatile wardrobe.

1 The Wrap Dress  is the most flattering dress for every body shape as it hugs in the right places and flares out.

2 An A-line skirt essential for hippy women as worn high waisted creates the illusion of an hour – glass silhouette.

3 The Blazer is the perfect outerwear and pairs well with almost every piece of your closet.

4 A Trencbcoat is a classic  you will wear season after season. To look slimmer just belt it at the smallest part of your waist.

5 A button -down shirt goes with all your outfits. An essential for a polished look, specially if you close the first button.

6 Dark denim, no matter if it is grey, blue or black, to look chic and classy even when you wear jeans.

7 A pointed toe pump makes you feel classy and sexy. A simple way to elevate a simple outfit.

8 Ballet flats are as polished and chic as pumps and you can wear them from day to nite.

I can add other basics but for today it is enough. The list will continue… 

By the way what are your closet essentials? Have a nice day. Blessings and hugs.
