Core Item #3: J. Jill wrap dress This dress is no longer available so I am linking similar ones from Draper James and and a budget option here. I truly love this neutral dress. In fact, I'm wearing it as I write this blogpost! 

Extras: Mont Kiji Secret Garden scarf code connoisseur for 20% off, ballet flats (linking similar). The scarf was designed by Junhee from Mont Kiji. What a beautiful scarf. I love the rich shade of green. 

Core Item #5 Everlane dress I adore this dress. It's the perfect length and so comfortable... 

Extras: Oliver Cabell Suede Mule  code JSCOTT10 for $10 off 

A closer look at the extras:

Let's have a look at the sweaters, camisoles, and tee shirts...

I always have a striped shirt in my wardrobe no matter the season and I enjoy this boxy striped tee from Mott & Bow. The Hampton Duster is very heavy and warm and will serve me well when the weather cools down.

Let's have a look at the shoes featured this season...

The Captain Boot by the Thursday Boot Company is such a classic, high-quality boot. I have them here in muted black and Old English. They are my favorite boots by far. 

The Oliver Cabell dream mule code JSCOTT10 for $10 off I love these mules and have been wearing them the most when out and about. They feel like slippers. 

Let's take a look at the jewelry...

Comment of the Week

Sam L. writes, "I stumbled across your blog years ago with the ten-item wardrobe. I bought and read Lessons from Madame Chic back then, and I continue to visit your blog now. Then, I had just left my career as an accountant to be a stay-at-home wife and mother. I was a little lost on how to manage my new life - how to manage a household, nurture a marriage, care for children, present myself as an elegant lady (the style description that most appeals to me) and set personal goals for myself that were outside the "wife" and "mother" roles. I find balance in your blog. I love the variety of posts: wardrobe, meal prep, homeschooling (we also homeschool), cleaning, remodeling, seeking out the arts, etc. It reminds me that as homemakers, we manage a variety of tasks, and that variety adds a richness to life. I particularly like the segment in this post about the prepper pantry. We, too, keep a stash of supplies on hand for any number of emergencies. Some blog posts about prepping can seem very extreme, end-of-the-world-ish. Your presentation, however, exhibits prepping as a useful, practical, homemaking skill. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas with a positive, uplifting energy. With each of your posts I watch/read, I have a new joyful outlook on being a homemaker. All of the work you put into your blog is very much appreciated. "

Dear Sam, Thank you for your encouraging comment. I am so happy that the variety of topics discussed on this blog provide inspiration for your daily life. Thank you for being a part of The Daily Connoisseur!

I hope you enjoyed today's ten-item wardrobe video. I'll see you on Thursday for the talk-through. Let us know how your fall wardrobe is coming along (spring wardrobe for our Southern Hemisphere friends).
