Ladies, you don’t need half of what the fashion industry and other influencers are trying to sell you. You don’t need the white boots…that’s a purchase I regret. You don’t need the kitschy Valentine’s Day sweater…you are only going to wear a few weeks out of the year. You don’t need to throw out your skinny jeans…they are still and always will be amazing. These trends they are trying to sell you is just money flying out the door.
What you DO NEED is a closet built around timeless, classic wardrobe pieces. You need clothing with clean lines and classic cuts that won’t go out of style after this season. You need a neutral color palette (warm neutral or cool neutral) that will allow you to create an almost endless possibility of outfits.
Effortless style is all about looking put-together without appearing like you’ve tried too hard. It’s about embracing your unique personality and dressing in a way that feels natural and comfortable to you. Here are some tips to help you achieve effortless style:

1. Know Your Body:
Understanding your body shape and what flatters it the most is essential for effortless style. Dress in clothes that highlight your best features and make you feel confident. Embrace your curves, accentuate your waist, or go for a relaxed fit if that’s what makes you feel comfortable.
2. Stick to a Color Palette:
Having a color palette that suits you well can simplify your wardrobe and make it easier to mix and match. Neutral colors like black, white, gray, beige, and navy are timeless and versatile. They create a cohesive look and allow you to effortlessly build outfits without much thought. Add pops of color through accessories or statement pieces to keep your style interesting.
3. Invest in Quality Basics:
Building a wardrobe with high-quality basics is the foundation of effortless style. These timeless pieces will last longer and withstand changing fashion trends. Invest in items like a well-fitting pair of jeans, a classic white button-down shirt, a tailored blazer, a little black dress, and comfortable black or nude heels. These staples can be dressed up or down for various occasions.
4. Embrace Minimalism:
Simplicity is key to effortless style. Avoid cluttering your outfits with too many accessories or excessive patterns. Opt for clean lines and minimalistic jewelry to keep your look chic and polished. Remember, less is more. Choose one statement piece or focal point and let it shine.
5. Dress for the Occasion:
Effortless style doesn’t mean dressing casually all the time. It’s about adapting your style to different occasions while maintaining your personal touch. Dress appropriately for the event or setting while staying true to your style. A well-tailored dress or a tailored pantsuit can exude elegance and effortlessness, while a stylish pair of jeans and a blouse can be perfect for a casual outing.
6. Confidence is Key:
No matter what you wear, confidence is the ultimate accessory. Embrace your unique style, own it, and carry yourself with poise. When you feel comfortable and confident in your clothes, it radiates effortless style and makes a lasting impression.
In sum, effortless style is about simplifying your wardrobe, embracing timeless pieces, and dressing in a way that reflects your personality. We are going to work together to pair down and rebuild your wardrobe AND your style, starting with what is already in your closet and working up from there. Let’s simplify your style TOGETHER!

I’m going to a wedding reception on a yacht! Have not worn a dressy dress since I retired-Can I get away with wearing flats? I just can’t wear heels anymore.
You probably won’t be allowed to wear dressy shoes on the yacht. For most of those type of events, you have to wear some form of boat shoes. My husband just went to a reception on a mega yacht and they were required to either takeoff their shoes or wear boat shoes.
