Creating A Great Wardrobe: Moms This One’s For You!

April 23, 2014

Style Smaller is one of my favorite blogs. Kate, the mom behind the blog is a wonderful, genuine writer. She’s also one of the most stylish ladies around: her home, her children’s outfits and her wardrobe too. She’s guest posted on our blog before, but always shared tips for styling little ones. As I was noticing my own closet was in a serious rut, I reached out to Kate for help. She put together an awesome post with realistic ways to create great a wardrobe. 

In addition to her lovely blog, Kate now has an online shop too! You can find it right on her blog’s site. It’s filled with adorable accessories, home accents and toys too. Enjoy!

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:
1. Black Booties 2. Railroad Stripe Skirt 3. Hooray Bag 4. White Tee 5. Folkstitch Jacket 6. Gladiator Brown Sandals7. Blue Skinny Jeans 8. Gold Necklace 9. Black Tank 10. Brown Hat 11. Sunglasses 12. White Jeans
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!
