Every year we all tend to do a little shopping and update our style but do we all do a closet edit...
I decided to wear some "regular" clothing to a dinner I was invited to...well what a nightmare! I have become so accustomed to This Little Boutique's collection of one size fits S to L and I normally get ready pretty quickly. With clothing that fits Small to Large and sometimes even XLarge I never have to think twice about what fits well and what is a little tight or uncomfortable! Well as it turns out I expected the same time frame and it did not work out that way. Nothing felt as comfortable as my Italian magic pants from the La Dolce Vita collection or the amazing linen pants I so love to wear! I tried on so many pairs of trousers and jeans and I did not feel good. Even the tops :-( did not feel good like the flowy linen tops or the soft summer tank tops. I was late in getting myself out the door and made everyone late. Needless to say, I was not very popular with my family for the rest of the evening.
This led me to do yet another closet edit for the year. I had to simplify my closet. I think we all should simplify, declutter and reassess our style that truly reflects who we are. Our lifestyle and our style of clothing needs to work hand in hand.
I have a rather casual lifestyle with the occasional dressier social event. This does not mean that I my closet should be bland, boring or sloppy! I do like to look and feel good.
I have found that the Italian made magic pants in the La Dolce Vita Collection offers several pieces that can be dressed up, like the Side Diamante Italian Pants or the Silver studded chic white Italian pants or even the Raso Italian satinee pants are great choices for a dinner date or night out. They are easily paired with the literary sparkle oversized shirt or the exquisite silk statement blouse for an elevated look.
This makes closet editing super easy! I am truly grateful for all these amazing Italian made outfits from Our little boutique! I do tend to reserve the linen outfits more for daytime. Some daytime dressier events allows for a serenity button back linen top and a pair of flo linen pants to be dressed with gorgeous Italian leather bags and a beautiful linen scarf...voila a chic look while some linen pieces like the delicate lace linen tank top is a wonderful option for evening.
So much easier than regular sized clothing items! We all evolve through the years and so should our closet. As we change and our lifestyle changes so does our everyday style & clothing choices change. It is a no brainer that we should closet edit regularly.
The one size clothing collection truly does help to keep it simple.
I encourage you to try on outfits that you may not have worn in a year or so and make decisions based on not just how they look but how they feel on your body. Evaluate why you keep certain items, is it sentimental or just a hope that you will one day shed a few pounds and fit into those old jeans?...
Declutter my friends! I feels lighter on the spirit and makes life easy....
Get rid of that closet that's full of clothes but yet you still have nothing to wear! Let your closet today truly reflect the woman you are and your lifestyle. Work with your shape and choose clothing items that highlight your best assets...that we can talk about on a different topic :-)
Be comfortable, be you!...La Dolce Vita!!
