The Perfect Fall Wardrobe

There are the things you buy and then there are the things you wear. 

You would think we would know what we really wear by now, but alas no. There are always those pieces that sit after one wear, forgotten in the depths of your closet. 

So as we start the new season, let's discuss the pieces you actually will wear. 

Too many times to count. 

These pieces flawlessly all fit together and will with the staples already in your wardrobe. 

1. The Sweater Dress: Cozy, but chic. They look great with boots or sneaks. This one is great too. 

2. The Draped Leather Jacket: Gives an edge to even the most femme outfit. This faux version too. 

3. The Cashmere Tee: I own this and want it in every color. Looks great with pants, jeans, skirts, even sweats. 

4. The Soft Skinny: Really we want to be wearing leggings, but when you have to wear jeans these are the best. 

5. The Crossbody: You need something that will hold all of your things and in a great color. 

6. The Pull On Pant: Again, it is like sweats but you can get away with them at dinner or a meeting. 

7. The Leather Sneaker: They can be worn with absolutely anything, even a skirt or dress. 

8. The Suede Skirt: Fall is all about texture and this skirt would get a lot of play. A longer version too. 

9. The Plaid Flannel: This is the softest fabric that drapes perfectly so you can wear with anything. 

10. The Knit Blazer: I always own this and want it in every color. It goes with EVERYTHING and is cozy, but refined.  

11. The Mule Loafer: They are a huge investment, but the ultimate slide on shoe. I also love these and these with less sticker shock.

Your Own Capsule Closet

The idea of your own capsule collection with pieces already hanging in your closet is blowing up on so many blogs and magazines. And while shopping in your own closet is not a new concept, somehow it feels fresh and all of the sudden genius. My closet feels muddled and with the depth of winter still upon us, getting involved in the hype seems like perfect timing. 

So I cleared a section of my closet and pulled ten looks that cover mostly daytime (including comfy ones) with a couple elevated looks for a dinner or date night. 

                                 

This took all of twenty minutes and made my closet look really cool. ha 

Now don't get it twisted, I am in work out clothes a lot like the best of them. And I am sure it will continue to be that way. But when I know the gym is not happening (or post workout) I have something to grab quickly in the morning and feel put together. Even if my day mostly includes returning emails/phone calls, epic stamp sessions at the kitchen table, and a fancy outing to Target. 

I highly recommend this little exercise. Plus, it makes you feel like you really have things together. ha  Here is what I have hanging up right now (either exact or close match to what I have). 

1. Cool girl LA Made leather block sweater $60 (on sale)

2. A classic J. Crew white cable sweater $79 (on sale)

3. The softest sweater/tee from Drifter  $225

4. A slightly heavy H&M striped tunic $17

5. The perfect plaid shirt by Rails $148 

6. A great tucked or untucked Joie Tank $82 (on sale)

Julie Billiard dolman sleeve tee $42 (forgot the pic, but a total staple for comfy days and travel!)

From Left: 

Spanx Leggings $68 really the best

Love a printed pant like these Joie Silk pants $166 (on sale)

These  Hudson suck it all in $165

Comfy J Brand cropped skinnies $218

I always feel so chic in high waisted flare jeans Frame $225

 1. A fun Adelyn Rae navy romper $98

2. Always a good idea, Lumiere stripe tee dress $38

3. Soft and almost pajama-ish Cloth & Stone chambray dress $138

Just add tights or leggings and you are set. Well at least for us super lucky cold weather girls. 

This will be my first "capsule" so we will see how it goes and how long it lasts. I plan to put these pieces away as I wear them then refill when everything has been worn. What do you think, into it? Would love to know if you would do it or if you have how it went.
