As I gather the pieces together for my spring wardrobe, I have been pondering some key questions with regard to wardrobe. In today's video we are going to look at these important questions to consider. 

How would you dress if you faced no limitations? Many people wish to dress a certain way but place limitations on themselves, and end up settling for "no style" by wearing workout clothing everyday. How would you dress if those limitations didn't exist? 

What is a style you've been longing to try? Similarly, many people long to try a specific style (like dresses or jumpsuits) but avoid doing so based on a certain issue. With jumpsuits, for example, many people use the "bathroom conundrum" as a reason to not try out the style. Some women avoid dresses so as not to draw too much attention to themselves. What if you tried a style you're longing to try this season? What would happen? 

What colors do you feel beautiful in? Do you tend to get compliments when you wear a certain color? Try to wear that color more this spring – not to get more compliments, but because the origin of those compliments most likely arises from the flattering color of the garment. 

What is your plan for accessories? I'm guessing you have some accessories in your wardrobe that you don't often wear. Go through your accessories and decide to wear them or toss them this season. 

Does your wardrobe tell a story? If no, what story would you like it to tell? The next time you walk into a chic small boutique notice how all of the clothing is curated to tell a story. Everything seems to go with everything else. This doesn't mean that all of the pieces are matchy-matchy, but that they tell a style story. You can achieve that with your wardrobe too.

Thank you for joining me for today's video. I would love to know about the progress with your wardrobe. Your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog. 

As part of The Chic Assignment for March, we are preparing our wardrobe for the upcoming season.



In today's video I talk through my ten-item wardrobe transition process from winter to spring. What will stay and what will go? Also, what will carry on into the next season?

Mentioned in the video:

Sea foam floral Lands' End dress (image taken from the Lands' End website)


Lands' End jeans (picture taken from Lands' End) These flat-front jeans are staying with me into spring. I plan to roll up the cuff and wear them with sandals. They go nicely with my lace tees from Loft, as well as my returning TJ Maxx red blouse. They also look good with my striped tee shirts.



LL Bean Knit Summer dress These are the perfect dresses. Seriously. If I were to choose a "uniform" this would be it. They are the perfect fit. They're comfortable. They're the perfect length and beautifully presentable.



Sam Edelman Gigi sandal A spring/summer favorite of mine, this sandal is very comfortable and goes with everything. I love it!



The striped tee is by Lands' End

Here is a link to Boden USA dresses for those interested...

I am still awaiting the Garnet Hill cork sandals in the mail



As well as the Garnet Hill sweaters, which (if they fit) I plan to layer over the dresses.

My earrings are by Ana Luisa NY

Comment of the Week
Nicole H. writes, "I’m not sure if you remember me from a comment a year ago, but I thought I’d tag in with you again and give you an update!

It is my 1 year anniversary as a Daily Connoisseur and I wanted to thank you from my heart! I am going through the Madame Chic Books again, and plan to read them through each year.

Here are a few ways you have changed my life:

1. My husband is so grateful that I make an effort to provide a delightful breakfast complete with Bach For Breakfast playing in the background. He says he feels so sophisticated. Haha!
2. My mom, sister and I phone each other about you and the wonderful things we learn from you all the time.
3. My routines have been changed from bad habits and I’m constantly reevaluating them to see what can be improved.
4. My home is in a constant state of decluttering
5. I ENJOY laundry and look forward to it each day!!!
6. I’m still not at a ten item wardrobe but I am honing in on my personal style and it’s been so much fun. I am certainly benefiting from the smaller closet!!!


Like I said, these are just a few, but mostly importantly, I enjoy caring for my home each day and the results have been a breath of fresh air. Thank you for all you do and I genuinely hope that one day you will go on tour again and I will get to meet you to thank you personally for the positive impact you have had in my life! I’m excited about your e-course coming out next week and your book this July!!

Sincerely,
Nicole"

Hello Daily Connoisseurs,

In today's video, I go through my spring/summer wardrobe to decide what stays and what goes. I hope you will join me as I look-back at my ten-item wardrobe from the past season.

At the end of each season, it's a great idea to assess your wardrobe. If you get in the habit of going through each item and analyzing how it performed for you, you will continue to remain thoughtful about your ten-item wardrobe and not slip into filling your closet with clothes again. Why? Because each item is special and has a purpose. After deciding what stays and what goes, store your clothes away so you can focus on your fall/ winter wardrobe. When you bring out your clothes again next spring, you will be excited to see them!

My tunic in this video is from zulily.

I really appreciate your planning and wardrobe videos. As I approach my 30s, I am more interested in quality clothes in smaller volumes than the "haul" approach I would have favored a few years ago, buying a large volume of cheap clothes. I just moved back to the US after spending the last decade in Europe and I have found it incredibly difficult to find good quality clothes, but your videos always help point me in the right direction! Thank you for taking the time to share the brands and styles that have worked for you.

Hi Kait, I appreciated your comment about hauls. Thank you for sharing your evolving journey with us!
