Funky dressers...a cool capsule wardrobe - where do I start?

[Hoorayhenrietta]

I find I keep buying things and finding they don't really go with things in my wardrobe. I am needing some advice on creating a 'cool capsule' wardrobe of some 'essential pieces' to wear now...things that are cool but will have longevity in my deep dark wardrobe. I want to look funky - I'm slim (albeit with a bit of jelly belly as a result of 16 week old bambino!)40 yo (hence thread!), SAHM with 3 sproggies, size 10.Where do I start?I do like 'quality'...

Get thee over to the 'shop more wisely' thread and avail yourself of the combined knowledge and style of some of S&B's finest.

Hi Spookily just thought about you...as saw Mulberry thread! Sorry haven't been back but chocolate variety is probably not going to be a whole lot of use to my wardrobe IFYSWIM. Was tantalising though, but think more 'tan' sort of colour more appropriate
