It’s Back To Schoo!
That means new uniforms, shoes, books and supplies. After you send the children off to school, how are you arriving at work?
You don’t need to get a closet overhaul but you should have these basics to build from to take you to the office and to the cocktail party or just keeping it moving.
A well tailored basic suit. Some would say black but I would say indigo. This deep blue is dark enough as a basic but has enough of a colour to break the mould. Any colour can be worn with it and it transforms the colouring of the suit. It’s important for this to be well fitted as the pieces of this can be mixed and matched with other pieces. Jacket should be a three button fitted that can be worn with an inside blouse or buttoned up. Accompanied with a pencil skirt a little below knee length and also a tailored pant with slightly wider legs.
A crisp white shirt. This can reflect whatever your style is from frills to a basic shirt. Be careful of this being too trendy as it should have clean lines to take you through the year without being out of season. You can have other shirts with all the frills but for the purpose of creating the bones of your closet, keep it simple and classy. Shirts can be worn under suit or by itself with pants or skirt or to dress up jeans on ‘dress down’ days or for less formal meetings.
A flirty wrap dress with sleeves. This can be any colour you choose but I would keep it earthy or in jewel tones. You can wear the indigo jacket over to dress up, or by itself, or put a belt around it and change it up. The point here is to mix and match the pieces and make them new and interesting each time you put them on. Our convertible dress is perfect for this.

Now my best secret to living a Recessionistas life is accessories and more accessories. Scarves, broaches, necklaces, cuffs, bangles, belts, handbags, shoes, everything adds, make or break an outfit. Its time to add your personality and style, colours, prints, metals, go crazy. Remember though less is best and as they say if you are unsure you are overdoing it then take off the last thing you put on and you are good to go. Tip: don’t be too matchy matchy, contrast colours and textures.
For any woman moving and shaking, must have the perfect fitting dark denim jeans. Rock with white shirt and funky belt or add jacket.
These are my picks to build any closet. With these items as your structure you can build a grand look to meet your lifestyle. Style is what makes you confident, unique and you so keep mixing it up and keep it Sized UP! Schools out!
