Freshen Up Your Wardrobe for January

IMG_0361.jpg


After the craziness of the holidays, a lot of people like to get organized and get rid of clutter in January. We’re doing the same thing here in the boutique by marking down fall and holiday merchandise, discounting coats and jewelry, and taking stock of our basics to make way for spring!

Come check out our sale racks and score some amazing deals on favorite designers, from Gretchen Scott to DL 1961, with lots of indie brands in between. This is a good time to take an inventory of your own closet and assess what you have in order to know what you need to pick up.

Not sure where to start? Every woman should have these basics in her closet:

  • A great pair of jeans. Whether they’re high rise, low rise, skinny, flare, dark, or light is all a matter of preference. You may need several pairs to create different looks. Try pairing a distressed denim with a crisp button down and jacket to add polish. Well-fitting denim is a workhorse in your wardrobe.

  • A classic white button down blouse. Think of this as a canvas to showcase whatever you’re pairing it with, whether that’s jewelry, a great jacket or pants. You can even toss a blouse under a favorite sweater for an added layer.

  • Black pants. Tailored trousers for work, sleek cigarette pants for date night...the possibilities are endless! We are in love with dramatic Spanx flare trousers paired with a cropped blouse or sweater.

  • Layering basics. T-shirts, tanks and leggings are staples that frequently need refreshing. Pair a great white tee with your favorite jeans and shoes to make a look that’s timeless. We recommend replenishing your white tees and tanks every season to ensure a bright, crisp look.

Good, high quality basics are the foundation of your wardrobe. You can work in trendier pieces easily with your basics. Try sprinkling in an animal print blouse with your favorite jeans, for example, or a leather skirt with a white button down.

Need help building your foundational wardrobe? We would love to work with you! Either stop in and let us know what you’re looking for, or call to schedule a complimentary appointment with one of our stylists.
