Often the season changes before the rest of us are ready, causing us to need a quick jump start to our wardrobe. As storage in my tiny midtown apt is limited, I keep 2 seasons hidden away, and find myself usually wishing I’d had my FW14 closet sooner.

When I need to quick start my wardrobe, I run to my local mall, shopping through my favourite stores in search of what’s new and fresh for this season.  I need to review what I have in storage before making an major purchases. This on-trend jumpsuit, was the perfect, take-me-anywhere piece that I knew I’ll live in this season, and a perfect way to help quick start my fall wardrobe.

At the start of each season, I feel the urge to run out a purchase the newest and hottest items, often forgetting about the hidden gems in my closet. Like this dress, purchased from Zara at the start of their summer sale, but it hung in closet for the remainder of July and August with the hopes of coming out for an end-of-season wedding that I  was attending. I ended up wearing another dress, and this beautiful marble printed dress continued to wonder when I would wear it.

Early this week, Trevor, my husband, invited me out for a dinner date, and I decided to take this baby for a spin. I sometimes forget that dressing-up for no reason, makes each moment a fashionable memory.

Knit Neutrals

Neutral KnitsFashion Magazine asked their style panel about their September resolution. Here is what I said.

This season, matching sweater sets (tops and bottoms) are going to be huge. That look is a lot for many people so  to tone down the trend look for some great knit separates that you’ll be able to pair together while shopping the new fall collections.
