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.
