FASHION HELP | MAKE OUTFITS YOU LOVE

Try these fashion tips every stylish woman knows and you can make outfits you love. I promise you’ll never dread getting dressed again. If you have taken the time to detox, organize, and check your closet for all the closet essentials on my New Wardrobe Checklist then you have everything you need to make outfits. If you’re someone who is easily overwhelmed by the options in your closet, and struggle with what to wear each day, then start with a look book or a classic combination. The guess work has been done so now you can actually have fun getting ready.

CLASSIC OUTFIT COMBINATIONS

Monochromatic

Coming up with an outfit is as easy as matching the colors on your top and bottom. This is easy to do and is also very flattering. Matching your top and bottom helps to elongate and slim your figure by creating a solid column of color.

Denim on Denim

Think outside the box and play with color beyond black and white like a Canadian tuxedo (denim on denim), or varying values of your favorite color. I included a Canadian tuxedo in my ’23 Simple Summer Capsule Wardrobe, but the concept works in the winter too.

The simplest way to wear a column of color is all in one piece like a dress or a jumper.

Make More Outfits By Layering

Once you have a matching base layer you can change up your look by learning to layer. Shop for 10 of my favorite winter layers HERE.

I’ve Been a Stylist For Almost 25 Years and Swear There Are No Good Capsule Wardrobe Examples So I’m Trademarking Mine

I've been a stylist for almost 25 years and I swear there are no good capsule wardrobe examples. Most capsule wardrobe examples either have too many pieces that leave you guessing what goes together, or a minimal mix that makes boring outfits. My capsule wardrobe examples are different. Each one includes a 7-10 item checklist of updated closet essentials, more than two weeks of different outfit ideas, and options to customize each one to match your style. Every capsule formula comes with a unique high-low mix of brands. You'll also get professional personal styling suggestions that will help you choose the best fits and variations of each style. This is my 5-step foolproof, creative capsule wardrobe formula.
