Organize to Dress better

Today marks the start of a somewhat different blog for me. I have been styling Mommy's-to-be but now am expanding for all moms. There's something about having children that makes you focus less on yourself and more on them. While this is great most of the time, you should never lose sight of yourself--fashion included.
The first task I ask you to do is go into your closet and clean it out! If its full of clutter you wont find anything in it. Separate it into 3 piles.
-Pile 1- Goodwill/consignment----This is for clothing that is too worn,old,out of style, or no longer fits. Trust me, if it doesn't fit you don't need it. If your thinking you will somehow fit into it again, you will start to make yourself feel bad when you see it because you can't wear it.
-Pile 2-Trends---Put everything that's a trendy item in one place. This will help you mix and match it for later use with a basic wardrobe. These can be colored tops(this seasons stripes and Poppy colors) or colored jeans.
-Pile 3-The Basics---This is for anything that is a classic and always can be twisted into a perfection of art. I have listed the basic must haves below. I would also invest in better quality basics so they can last longer for your wardrobe.

-Black Suit Jacket(tailored)
-Pencil Skirt in Black or Tan
-White Button-down shirt
-A perfect pair or jeans in both skinny or classic and flare or boot cut
-3 long sleeved shirts fitted in black,white,and brown
-3 camis in black,white,and brown
-black belt
-brown belt
-A little black dress
-2 classic go-to purses in neutral colors
-riding boots
-pumps
-flats
-the list can be longer!!!


Then create sections for the two piles in your closet or drawers. It will be easier for you to pick something from both sections. Make sure you repeat this each season so that it stays fresh. If you would like help with this or have questions please email me at belleswithbumps@gmail.com.

Expanding to all Women!

At Belles with Bumps we specialize in helping Pregnant women find maternity clothing that makes them feel beautiful and stay in fashion. I go in and meet with the women in their homes, go through their closets, and show them what will work that they already own or what they might need. It has been requested that we expand our business to all women who may want a little help in the fashion department. Some women have little or no time to shop,have too many or not enough clothing, or just want a refresh assessment on what they need to stay up to date with the ever changing fashion field. We have decided to take on select clients on a first come first serve basis for any of these above needs. For a list of the prices and to hear about packages and specials please email Rachel at Belleswithbumps@gmail.com.

Hit the Sales!

Happy New Year everyone!!!Now is the best time to shop and stock up on so many things from baby items to maternity wear. I found some great items at great prices, thanks to new year sales. The key to shopping at end of the season sales is to decide which side you want to take. One one hand you can look ahead at new year and pick what possibly could work. Or choose items that can transition well into the following season and are more basic pieces. In the case of preggo moms I would go with the second option. Choose items that are layer able, neutral in color, and remain timeless. This will also pay off if you have future babies. Resist the urge to buy trendy clothing that may go out of fashion too quickly. The basic but on trend dress tunic I found was Mame Maternity Grey Turtleneck Tie Tunic on sale for $44.99. You can dress it up with tights and heels or down with leggings and boots or flats. I love the color of grey! Next,I found great pants, the Secret Fit Belly Bi-stretch Suiting Black Pockets Slim Leg Maternity Pants on sale for 59.99 with an additional 30% off! Such a great staple to have for work or dinner out. A perfect layer top that is still warm is the Sono Vaso Maternity Beige Valerie Sweater Tunic on sale for $44.99! I love the asymmetrical hem! It makes it on trend but the color keeps it classic. Make sure to check out all the sales in your area. For a list of great shops to hit, please email me!Belleswithbumps@gmail.com
