A capsule collection is an ideal way to edit part of your wardrobe to suit the season and more importantly your mood.  If makes dressing through the week super simple as you get a chance to wear all of your current favourites.…it’s basically a collection of essential items that flawlessly integrate together. That means that you can mix and match and wear all of these pieces in a load of different ways. I often get questions from you about how to build a capsule wardrobe and here are my three biggest tips…

1) Pick a Color Story – what are the colours you a drawn to?  This can change with season the. I advocate swapping out the classic neutrals (black, navy, beige) with metallics and this season especially explore leopard print as a neutral alternative, they are perfect for mixing in fun colorful pieces.

2) Choose Basics Wisely – make sure you’re spending the majority of your budget on high-quality basics that will last you years and years! Consider your body shape sleeve lengths, hemlines, and all of the things that help us at over 40 feel more confident.

3) last but not least you don’t need to buy new things!  Find those favorites.  The wardrobe lurkers as I call them:)  A capsule wardrobe is ideal to bring a new lease of life to your look.

So what version of yourself will you embrace this season?
