Step into my office

My current closet has been a source of great pleasure and great anguish. I love the fact that it's compartmentalized, but for someone who is as into fashion as I am, it's definitely on the small side. I used to have one that was a lot bigger where I lived before. On the bright side, it does force me to be a bit more minimalist with my clothes inventory. It's basically at/near capacity 100% of the time, so whenever I buy new clothes, I make a deal with myself that if one thing comes in, I must choose something else already in my closet to donate or sell. It forces me to think through what I'm buying better and keeps the overflow down. Strangely enough, having too many clothes for your space is more likely to make you feel like you have nothing to wear.

Foundations

I get overwhelmed every year with trying to keep up with the season's trends, but it's also something I enjoy. I realize that everyone doesn't love building their seasonal wardrobe. That being said, it doesn't mean those people don't want to look on-trend. I have compiled a list of 15 "foundation" pieces that will give you dozens of looks for whatever occasion you may have through the fall and winter seasons. For each piece, I have included  recommendations as visual aids, but please don't buy anything  on my website until you've looked at/tried on various versions of these staple pieces. Given their basic nature, there are tons of options out there and it's not a one-size-fits-all.

Seasonal Color Analysis

Do you ever feel like your face just don't look as good as usual, even when you are well-rested and have put effort into your look? (skincare, makeup, hair-styling) According to what I've fairly recently discovered, it may not be your fault. It may have less to do with you, and more to do with what you're wearing.


About a year ago, I realized I was wearing a lot of the wrong colors. You hear a lot about what style clothing is most flattering, including what cuts, fabrics, and textures make you look your best. What we don't hear about a lot is what colors look the best on us. The reason for this is that it varies completely from person to person. When you try things on, you definitely notice that some colors look really good on you, and others don't, but have you ever wondered why?
