Creating A Great Wardrobe

By: Kate of Style Smaller

I was asked to give some tips to The Chirping Moms readers on creating a great wardrobe. It was a surprising & super-flattering request. My blog generally talks about kids’ clothing,but BECAUSE I’m always talking about kids’ wardrobes, I thought it would be a really fun change-of-pace to post my own style tips. 😉
Here’s the fact: I don’t have the most creative wardrobe ever. Here’s a look at pieces from {or similar to} my every day uniform:
Black, white, grey, and denim rule my drawers. 
I do love to get dressed. I love working with what is in my closet. To me, money does not buy style, so it’s not necessary to spend in excess. My “investment pieces” are well-made tees that fall exactly as they should and get worn a million times because of their comfort, quality, and versatility. I love well-made tried & true pieces that get worn until they have holes. My goal is never to have the MOST clothing… my goal is to wear every piece I own, so I’m not storing unnecessary pieces.
  • TOPS: For the every day, I switch between slouchy tees and slouchy tanks, and button down plaid. I do the half tuck these days to keep it really casual. If I want to spruce things up, or if I’m going somewhere fun in the evening, I’ll switch to a blouse type of shirt, or I’ll just change my jeans to a skirt and that’s fancy enough.
  • BOTTOM: Skinny jeans or a casual skirt generally… geez, am I original or what? 
  • SHOES: I wear booties year-’round. I buy one great pair of sandals every spring. I wear chucks, Minnetonka flats, and have one fabulous and neutral strappy heel {similar} that takes care of all the fancy events. My shoe closet is not extensive, but I feel I have the right shoe for any occasion. 
  • ACCESSORIES: Earrings every day. Big and gold are my staples, but I switch them out for basic gold triangle studs when I wear my long necklaces. I either go big on the earrings or necklaces, never both. 😉 It’s the easiest thing to add jewelry to an outfit, and it makes me feel more “put together” and ready for the day when I do. Win-win!
