Day #17 in the PINK-Start with a Core Piece

I’m thinking that this is the 3rd Saturday in the PINK!  I swear a “nor-easter” blew into the south last night and we have skipped Fall altogether!  It’s cold and it’s messing with my creativity.  I’m not ready to go into winter yet! 

A closet change over is going to happen sooner than anticipated.  Bring the sweaters out.  Luckily, I have a pink cotton turtle-neck shirt that I will be donning today for some added insulation. 

Spring and fall can be tough times of the year to dress.  You may start out the morning in one piece and end the day having removed a layer or two.  That is the value of shopping with CORE pieces in mind.  They go with everything.

When I work with a client I teach them how to build a wardrobe based on core pieces.  These are neutral pieces (brown, black, navy, tan, etc)  Separately they might appear boring, but as you build a wardrobe they are the key to the success and simplicity in dressing.

So for today, keep it simple and be thinking of your CORE pieces you own.  Do they fit you, feel good on and flatter your figure?  If not, get a pencil and paper out and start your shopping list.
