Ok friends. Its finally getting cold and we need to get our winter wardrobes in order! A great wardrobe is built off a stong foundation, so having all the basics will help you complete the look you dream of having! We put together a checklist below to make sure you are covered. I know every morning when I'm getting dressed, I use at least one item off this list, so lets make sure you have what you need, too. The biggest shopping weekend of the year is almost here so now you have your shopping list and a good reason to get out and fight those crowds!
BUT, before you get started we need to get our closets in order. If you haven't done this already put your summer clothes aside, in another closet or pack them away (I like this idea because they will feel new when you unpack them all next spring). Get out last years sweaters and run them to the dry cleaner. For those of you that store your sweaters properly, you are awesome! I'm not awesome but would love to be, so when its time, we can run though this process together. Oh and please be sure to retire those that are pilling, stretched out or dated! Also, get rid of your cotton tees that have holes (I know I'm not alone in this one!) Clearing out your closet just makes room for more, a saying my mom used to tell me, which always motivated me to get rid of things! Basically, a closet reorganization is needed so plan an afternoon to get this done. My favorite saying is, “take 5 to save 15”. In this case, take a couple hours over the weekend to save 15 minutes every morning. Flipping through your clothes, digging though piles of drawers and running back and forth between closets is no bueno. We do not want to add more chaos to our already busy lives!
Now our closets are organized and ready for more! Read through this list and make sure to pick up anything you might not have. All of these items are available at She She and one of our stylists would love to help you cross them off your list!
