Types of Closets
1. Hoarder
- When you have too much in your closet, it makes you overwhelmed
- Rule of a thumb is a year - If you haven’t worn it, bless someone else with it!
2. Uniform
- When you have too much of the same stuff
- 14-22 pairs of one item- too much
- Getting dressed is much easier when you have less options
3. Few Cool Random Pieces
- When you compile cool stuff but can’t coordinate outfits
- Make sure you can wear it/style it in multiple ways
4. Broken Mirror
- When you don’t wear/only wear certain things because of how you think you look
- Remind yourself of how beautiful you are no matter size or look
- Something out there for everyone
- Feeling confident is a game changer
Staple Pieces
- Jeans/denim
- White denim pants
- Black pants
- White shirt
- Leather jacket
- Denim jacket
- Blazer
- Few pairs of solid shoes (sneakers, wedges, pumps)
- Few well-priced trendy items
- Good, well-fitted bra
Basic Rules
- “Basically throw out a lot of your rules”
- Navy and black go together
- White on white ok
- Two colors of denim is personal preference
- Denim is acceptable all the time, dinner, out, etc. (wear a less distressed look for dressier occasions)
- Nice (nude) camisole under see-through white shirts
- Get a commando thong you can’t see through (no lines)
Tips:
- With denim, try on two of the same size even of the same brand bc the cut of the denim can be different
- If your daughter can wear it, probably not for you
- Buy versatile pieces!!!
- Colored denim is in now, unfinished ends
- Cargo pants, army green
- Veronica Beard - blazer with zip out dickie
- Joggers are in right now
- Theory black pants (flattering for everyone, get altered)
- Alterations are your friend!
- Go to Target for transition clothes during this time in life before you buy investment pieces
- Looks and designers fit differently on different body types
- Allison Olivia - petite, doesn’t work on everyone
- Samone pant little stretch go-to for multiple types
- Secret: Biz and laundry detergent for getting whites clean
- High/low dressing - pairing a more expensive piece with a less expensive item
- Focus on staple investment prices and supplement with cheaper items throughout this season
- Accessories - less is more; no matchy matchy; depends on the customer
- Fun part about fashion - it becomes who you are
- Summer uniform in Florida - bathing suit and coverups; find what brand works for you and fits
- Athleta, nip tuck and spanx brand bathing suits
- Shorts can be difficult because of where they hit you on your leg; find a pair or brand that fits well and buy a few of them
Our largest fundraiser of the year, Shrove Tuesday was a huge success again. A huge thank you to Lauren Thompson and Ashly Rivera for coordinating and making the even run so smoothly.
