wardrobe consultation with lauren


I had the pleasure of helping a dear friend organize her closet. Lauren married my cousin Mike this  summer and are adjusting to married life beautifully! They originally decided to split both closets, half and half. But, for the new year - decided to have his and hers closets. I thought it was a great idea and offered to help! 


Lauren walked me through her closet. She sure does have fabulous stuff!


She showed me her favorite pieces - and the pieces she wanted help creating outfits with. 

Here is her closet before:



Here is her closet after:

Lauren had worked hard to color code her wardrobe - which I love. But, I find it easier to shop your closet when it is organized by style and length. We organized Lauren's tops by jackets, sweaters, and dressy shirts on top. We organized the skirts, tanks, tees, and long sleeve knits on the bottom. 

I find it easier to shop your closet, when the sleeve length is short to longest. It's easier to see what is in your closet. 

Lauren's fabulous shoe collection!


Outfit #1: 
Chambray shirt layered underneath tan sweater with navy elbow patches.  Then paired with navy cropped pants, camel booties and sparkle studs.



Outfit #2:
An orange printed tank layered under a pinkish gray cardigan. Paired with navy zipper denim, leopard flats and teal earrings.

 


Outfit #3:
Cream chiffon tank layered under a black and cream striped blazer. Paired with dark denim and black booties.


Outfit #4:

Cream lace peplum tank layered underneath peach blazer and black necklace. Paired with dark denim and black booties.


Outfit #5:
Black and white striped knit top tucked into green skirt with black tights and brown boots. 



How adorable is she!? It was a blast getting to work with Lauren! You've got the tools and tricks to create great looks! You all should check out her blog here. It's very inspiring and sweet.
