Look at that pile of clothes! |
I've talked a few times about my favorite style blog, 'What I Wore'. I even mentioned that the blog's author, Jessica Quirk, had a book coming out... which I promptly pre-ordered and received just this week!
Before... |
What I found was that in terms of accessories (shoes, handbags, belts, scarves!) I was doing well. I also have a collection of cardigans that rivals that of Mr. Rogers. But I have definitely identified some needs in my wardrobe.
After! |
That said, I'm definitely feeling good about all my hard work today! I love how Jessica compares getting dressed to cooking, the latter being something I'm pretty good at. When I look at it like a recipe, I can see that I've had a billion ingredients in my closet but none that went together. Now I know that I need to work on my core color collection (black), then branch out into my secondary color, which seems to be a palette of greens and yellows, maybe even some coral colors! Once I've got it down, I think I'll add a grey core color collection into the mix. :)
My Shopping List:
For my core color collection:
-black jacket/blazer
-white button-up blouse
-little black dress (plain sheath)
Undergarments:
-foundation shorts (tummy control!)
-half slip in a skin-tone color (I have an old one in white from college, though!)
-full slip in a skin-tone color
Secondary color:
-solid skirt in secondary color
-printed skirt
-printed or solid blouse in secondary color
Summer:
-white jacket or blazer
-white skirt
-printed blouse(s)
-solid blouse in secondary color
-straw belt
The yard sale pile!!! |
