Mom's Closet Consultation

When I was at my mom's house a few weeks ago, we had some fun picking out some cute outfits. Mom is a school teacher and needs to be somewhat comfortable. Once we looked at everything, see was so inspired and excited. She also realized how many clothes she had in her closet! Mom and I have different styles, figures, and lifestyles, so this consultation was a fun challenge for me.

We paired this great boatneck purple banded top with black pants and a long turquoise necklace.



Mom had never worn an all-white outfit, but this was so cute on her!


A simple navy blouse looks great with a long necklace and colorful bangles.


We thought this would look great for a dressier event like her school open house or church


She had this great zebra cardigan that she had never worn with anything but black or white. I showed her how great it would look with pink or green or any bright color and she loved it.


Mom has tons of embellished neck t-shirts. This neutral colored one looked good with a light-weight leopard scarf and some bermuda shorts.



We didn't get around to much winter styling, but I did see this great pink plaid shirt with some ruffles on the front. I thought it would be so great with her cream winter vest and her uggs.

M's Wardrobe Consultation

Here are some more outfit ideas from a recent wardrobe consultation...


M had this great little gold vintage top that she hadn't worn. We paired it with some skinny black pants and a fun statements necklace.


A typical casual white skirt and blue t-shirt, gets a little interest with a striped knit scarf.


A gold belt gives the flowy floral top some shape


I love to mix up a typical black and white outfit with some brown accents.


We paired an empire waist tunic with some skinny jeggins to give it some good proportion.


M had this super-fun western-style belt buckle, so we put it with a basic henley and basic trouser jeans to give the attention to the belt.


Mixing stripes and florals


Casual cambray shirt with white jeans. The shirt would also be cute tied up at the waist.
