In your closet or store it?

If you have your closet packed to the brim - sundresses in the winter and puffy coats in summer - then your mornings are going to be hard just looking for clothes to wear and you may end up feeling like you have nothing to wear. Do yourself a favor and work with ingredients for the weather outside your door, keep out current season's clothes and put everything else out of sight. I store them in a box like THIS.

Core color

One may end up with nothing to wear because they might have limited themselves to wearing an item just one way (this may happen if we buy head to toe looks). If everything flows from one piece to the next then we are left with many more potential combinations and it is best achieved by having items in core colors.


Here is the list of essential elements in core color Black, and I think it is totally worth to have a good quality of following items in the closet:

1. Blazer &/or cardigan &/or faux leather jacket


2. Trousers &/or Denim


3. Top (button down/ turtleneck/sleeveless/ any style)


4. Skirt


5. Camisole


6. Tights

Jacket: Blank NYC (faux leather)

Shoes: Steve Madden (faux leather)

Jeans: Abercrombie and Fitch

Top: Ann Taylor

Wind and wander

Willingness to wind and wander, to take missteps that lead us to places we couldn’t have known to go, I guess any creative process is rarely a straight path.

Simplicity!

‘There is beauty in simplicity’ my father told me once. And I thought he was talking about appearances!
