I lured a nice fashionable friend of mine over last night with the promise of good wine. I was very happy to see her because I needed some wardrobe help. After the first glass of wine was gone and her resistance level had been reduced I asked if she would mind helping me pick out an outfit for an upcoming event. The wine had done its work and she agreed.
The first thing she did was ask me is what I had thought about wearing. So we go to my closet and I pull out what I thought looked like a perfectly nice outfit. She studied the ensemble through narrowed eyes, sighed, and said let me go through your closet. The next couple of hours were happily spent with her taking apart my “outfits,” mixing them all together, and magically producing fresh new looks. I participated by pouring the wine and serving some chocolate. By the end of the evening I had newly coordinated clothing which looked great!
This interaction reinforced my belief that every woman should have good core pieces, such as a basic dark suit, to build her wardrobe from. If you have to evacuate take these clothing core pieces with you. Should you lose everything, it would be much easier to rebuild and expand your clothing if the basics are already in place. Even if you are like me and have a difficult time accessorizing and coordinating, with the core clothing pieces, a fashion-crazed friend, and a bottle of wine you can look like a million bucks!

You always look great!!
