Year Round Closet Essentials
We’ve had some interesting weather this spring/early summer here at the beach. From unseasonably warm to rainy to cooler and windy. Hard to believe summer is in full swing! As I prep my closet for summer and start to transition winter and fall items out of my rotation , I came across a few things that I’ve declared are year round closet must haves. These are items that won’t take up too much space to keep them available to you all year. PLUS, you’ll be thanking yourself when you won’t have to spend time searching for these pieces.
Nothing to Wear...
Closet full of clothes and nothing to wear? Feel overwhelmed when you go to get dressed for work or play? Find yourself wearing the same outfits because they are easy to access but hate it? You are not alone and there is an easy solution to help you move in the right direction of your style goals.
Creative Ways to Wear Black
Think about the last time you put on an outfit with black. How many of the words listed above were why you chose black? I’m going to say a minimum of 5. Most likely as follows: Comfort, Confidence, Sophisticated, Protection, Power/Strong. Nothing wrong with that, you should feel all of those words (and them some) everytime you get dressed. Confidence is the best accessory for any outfit.
The Power of Color: Complementary Colors in Fashion
In working with my clients, I find they tend to fall into habit/routine when it comes to color choices. Most times it’s because it is easier to follow routine than put the energy into trying something new. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Once I start talking about color pairs and possibilities, my clients start to see there are more options than just add a neutral like black or white.
