FALL 2010 WARDROBE PLANNING

Okay ladies, although some people have a personal style that appears effortless, the truth is, “To look that effortless, takes effort”. Therefore it’s time to start the early planning of your Fall 2010 wardrobe.

The fashion industry has been getting ready for months. Designers have been working on collections since last spring; the collections were shown during New York Fashion Week in February of this year for the entire world to see. The buyers have carefully selected their merchandise from the runways, and it’s currently being delivered to a retail store near you.

So, now it’s time for us to do our part! At the beginning of every season I work with clients to create a personal style story board. The storyboard is filled with trends and looks pulled from fashion editorial magazines such as Vogue, Marie Claire, In Style and more which they love. Remember, the key to building a fabulous and fierce working wardrobe is filling it with items that make your hart throb!

To get started you’ll need a piece of white paper, scissors, double stick tape, and stack of current fashion magazines and your favorite store catalogs.

Once your story board is created it acts as a guide to do the following:

1. Take inventory of what you already own (So you don’t over spend)
2. Build a list of what you’re going to need (So you don’t get overwhelmed with shopping)
3. Spot the items you’re going to need in stores (remember pre-fall merchandise is already being delivered)
4. Act as a guide when getting dressed when the season starts (Tape it to your closet door)
5. Build confidence (Because you took the time to focus your style and image for the Fall 2010 season)

Okay ladies let’s get started!!!
