If you’re following the plan, you now know what is missing from your wardrobe and you have tossed those things you will never wear again. You have probably unearthed some treasures too. During this process, take the time to evaluate what phase you are in in your life, remembering that clothes can elevate your image or not. Our fashions are a reflection of where we are in our life’s journey. Your closet should contain outfits that you feel good wearing and clothes that suit your figure type.
THE MUST HAVE SHORT LIST or your workhorse items are:
One pair of great black pants
One pair of great fitting jeans (choose a dark wash)
One white shirt
One pair of nude pumps
One pair of black pumps
One clutch purse
One black, large handbag
One pair of ballet flats
One winter coat in gray, black or a bright color such as red
One black thin belt
One brown or tan medium width belt
One “cozy” in color such as teal, red or gray
One fitted longer length cardigan sweater that covers your bum
One blazer that you can wear with jeans or a dress
One black straight pencil skirt
One pantsuit that can be broken up in different ways
Tanks in brown, black, navy and white (I love the tanks by Theory, they never fade)
Trench coat
One short leather jacket in tan ,black or brown
One pair of ankle boots
One pair of tall boots
One sheath dress
One little black dress [LBD]
MAKING THE MOST OF WHAT YOU HAVE
Now get excited about looking in your closet and finding how easy it will be to assemble your outfits. Try on different combinations until you find complete outfits that work. Do not settle for a second rate look. If you are missing items then add them to your shopping list. Look for things that need tailoring to update them, for example turning a boot cut pant into a straight leg pant . Make sure the outfits are age appropriate. Remember, as hard as it may be, you have to let go of things that don’t work for you.
