I have a two, almost three, year old DS and I am fed up of looking like a frumpy bag lady. I want to look more polished and put together. Finally I am losing some weight and getting a skin routine and I really want to revamp my wardrobe.
I love the idea of a capsule wardrobe. I would rather have fewer, good quality, fairly conservative clothes that will last than a bulging wardrobe full of throw away fashion.
The preppy/Sloane style is one that really appeals to me and I have spent ages putting together a Pinterest board. I don't mind taking my time to build up the collection and think this is want I need:
To get:
Cable knit cricket sweater, off white
Thin v neck sweaters, in fawn, cream, for layering
Blazer, navy
Tweed jacket
Vest tank tops, knit, for layerimg
High waisted Skinny jeans (dark navy and black)
Bootleg jeans, dark navy.
Khaki trousers
Plaid shirt
White button down shirt
Oxford shoes (flat)
Breton stripe tee
Hunter wellies and socks
Converse sneakers
Ballerina flats (black)
Knee high boots, flat, tan
Narrow tan belt
LBD sheath dress, just above knee, sleeveless
I Have already:
Black trench coat
Barbour jacket
Waistcoat
Rugby shirt
Pearl necklace and earrings
Diamond studs and solitaire necklace
Understated designer watch
Coloured button down shirts
Sort of ballerina flats, tan
So what I wanted to ask was:
- What items on my to get list are worth splashing out on?
- Which Items should I get first?
- Which shops/where online should I be looking to find these items (with the emphasis on quality)
- Is there anything obviously missing?
Thanks in advance (this is my first real foray into the S&B board!!)
