Happy New Year!
In January all we hear about is everyone setting big goals for the New Year?
But what if we take the pressure off and set some small goals that are an easy win?
The one thing I truly believe is that it is the little things that can make the biggest difference in our homes, closets and wardrobes. What are some examples to make small changes that are super attainable?
-De clutter your drop zone area and set up a pretty tray or dish for keys.
-Add new throw pillows to your couch to refresh your living room.
-Add a lamp in a dark corner or buy fresh flowers.
-Make your bed everyday.
-Shop your closet and put together 3 outfits that are easy for grab and go.
-Follow the “one in one out” rule. You buy something and get rid of something. This will help keep your house manageable.
-Set up a donation bin or basket to make it easy.
-Tidy up your car… and the list goes on!
Fall is my favorite season to style outfits because it is all about layering and accessorizing.
You can change the feel of an outfit in so many ways by shopping your own closet and creating multiple looks with pieces you already own.
Some of my favorite ways to elevate your outfit for Fall and Winter:
-Layer, layer and more layering
Layer a collared shirt under a sweater to add a more polished look.
Layer a cardigan or blazer over a simple colored top and finish it off with a fun scarf.
Layer multiple necklaces to create a necklace stack to bring interest to simple understated outfit.
-Color is my other favorite way to create a really fabulous outfit
If you think outside the box and create outfits with unexpected color combinations it immediately elevates the look and adds interest.
You can also take a very simple neutral outfit and pop some color and pattern with a scarf and shoes.

Fall is my favorite time of year!
The weather cools off, the leaves start falling and I love the cozy feeling it all brings. If you start planning and getting your house organized now then you can have more time to enjoy the holidays.
Some ways to get ready for Fall:
-Swap out your closet and bring out your Fall and Winter pieces. Don’t forget to do a shoe swap as well!
Fall is all about layering in North Carolina so remember there are lots of pieces in your wardrobe that can be worn year round. Once you add those third pieces like cardigans and jackets then your wardrobe can be more versatile.
-De clutter to be ready for entertaining and guests.
Don’t stress at the last minute when you are hosting a party or having family come visit. Doing some reorganizing and creating household systems will make your house much easier to maintain.
-Add some cozy accents and accessories to make your house more calm and inviting.
Think throw pillows, blankets,cozy bedding, candles and twinkle lights. All these accents can make such a difference in how your home feels.
-Create some go to outfits for Fall and Winter by shopping your closet.
Once you take inventory of what you have creating new outfits by shopping your closet is part of the fun. This will also help you make an intentional shopping list for any pieces you may be missing.
Do you have things in your closet that you think can only work for one season?
This camel colored blazer may look like a Fall wardrobe staple but there are lots of ways to wear it for Spring!
If you add white or ivory pants or jeans and this fun colorful scarf it already feels much more like a Spring outfit.
Finishing touches are the accessories-jewelry, shoes and a handbag are another opportunity to make it more of a Spring look.
Are there things in your closet you can play with to create more looks and outfits with what you already have?
Could your Spring wardrobe use a refresh?
If you need help getting creative and getting out of a style rut then I am here to help.
Do you look at your home and wardrobe and think… something is missing? You just can’t put your finger on it.
I truly believe the key to elevating your style is to add accessories. Sometimes a space in your home needs a refresh but you don’t want to do a complete remodel. You CAN redesign and refresh your space on a budget by accessorizing.
You can completely change the look and vibe of a room by changing out the accessories.
Accessories add color, texture, pattern, depth and so much more.
For your home… Think throw pillows, curtains, rugs, decor, books, art, lighting, candles, plants and flowers.
For your wardrobe.. shop your closet and mix up your looks with jewelry, scarves, shoes, handbags, third layers and hats.
Questions to ask yourself when it comes to interior styling or creating outfits:
Are you not sure how to define your personal style?
Do you know what you like when you see it but have no idea how to put it together?
Do you struggle with how to combine colors and patterns?
I am here to help if you need it!

What does it really mean to shop your closet?
What are the advantages?
-The ultimate goal is for you to love your wardrobe and wear everything in your closet.
-Do you want to clean out your closet once and for all and get rid of what no longer feels like you? But you feel guilty about your past shopping mistakes and overwhelmed about where to start?
-Sometimes clients don’t know why they aren’t wearing an item. Is it the fit? The style? The color or pattern? Or is it just a matter of creating the right outfit with it?
-Shopping your closet can be so much fun. I love helping women create new outfits using what they already have.
– I like to think outside the box and create interesting color combinations and add accessories to complete the look. The idea is to embrace your current style and have fun with it!
-And yes sometimes an item just doesn’t work. But this is the easiest way to know you gave it one last styling attempt and it’s time to let it go.
-Shopping your closet saves you time, money and frustration. When you do need to add some pieces to your wardrobe you can create a VERY intentional shopping list.
Have you shopped your closet lately? Are you bored with your wardrobe? Are you constantly running out shopping to buy something new?
I’m here to help if you need it!
I love to help my clients put together some go to outfits ahead of time for travel; I find that this makes packing for a trip much easier!
Take inventory of your closet and wardrobe when the seasons change, it will help you to avoid any last minute panic. Don’t run out shopping right before a trip, create some outfits you love ahead of time. Assess your closet and make a list of any pieces you are missing. When you have a list of what you truly need, you’ll be prepared and shop more intentionally in the future.
I recently made this outfit for a client and it just feels like a day at the beach to me. Throw on some sandals and you are ready to go to lunch or dinner or a day of sightseeing.
How is your closet feeling this Spring? Are you constantly wearing the same few outfits? Are you frustrated with your wardrobe? Tired of trying on things that don’t fit or don’t feel like you?
This is why I LOVE closet edits! A good closet clean out can provide so much clarity and save you time, money and frustration. Once you get rid of everything that isn’t working then you will feel so much better! When the seasons change it is the perfect time to evaluate what you actually wear. The seasonal swap is a great time to take inventory and you can make an intentional shopping list based on what you truly need. Then when Summer rolls around your closet is organized and your wardrobe is refreshed! Just in time for those summer vacations.
This photo shows a closet of “styled” outfits I have put together for my busy client. We know all of it fits and looks great on her. The whole outfit is ready, complete with jewelry! It’s an easy grab and go. No more last minute clothes crisis before work, your next event or a last minute trip!
I like to shop your closet and mix different colors, pieces and accessories so that you never get bored with your wardrobe. There are so may great staple pieces that can be styled a million different ways. Once you have the staple pieces you need then it makes getting dressed so much easier. The staple pieces in your closet are the building blocks to an outfit and the accessories and third layers are the icing on the cake.
How would you feel if you could open your closet and have an outfit ready for any occasion?
Let’s dive into your closet! I’m ready when you are.
