The 6 pieces you need to start your 2021 capsule wardrobe

Good afternoon and happy new year, dear friends. I have missed you all. In this past year, I have really pulled back on blogging, partly because I have been diving into my wardrobe styling career, but also because I am very aware of the state of the world. With coronavirus affecting our world so dramatically, it didn’t seem appropriate to list all of the things that I think you should be buying. With that being said, I realize there is still a need for fashion. Perhaps a more abbreviate need, but still a need…and that’s where I come in. I have always felt most comfortable blogging about a capsule wardrobe. This is also something I help my clients with. Starting off with more thoughtful pieces that fit well, can go with ANYTHING, and make you feel like you! Minimalism at it’s finest!

With all of that being said, I wanted to bring you a little something this January. A few pieces that I carefully curated to start you off on the right foot in 2021. Let’s face it, most of us are wearing sweats WAY more and want to be comfortable yet still feel a bit special. Here’s what I recommend…

1 A well fitting, structured bodysuit or tank. Here are two I own and adore. This one shoulder bodysuit is so on trend and under $30! Or if you want to splurge, I highly recommend this sculpting tank from Aritzia. So flattering and can be worn literally under anything. A great layering piece.

2 A special piece of jewelry that you can wear every day. Sometimes when you’re stuck at home or working from home, it can seem pointless to put on jewelry. I highly recommend investing in at least 1 special piece. Something that means something to you. That makes you feel special. That goes with everything. I adore this good luck charm necklace. It’s local and ethically made by Astor + Orion.

3 Let’s be real. We all need a pair of sweatpants. Cozy, oversized sweatpants that you can wear while zooming. Save here or splurge here.

4 Stretchy, COMFORTABLE jeans. Good American are the most comfy I’ve found out there! When wearing a pair you will truly feel like you’re wearing sweats! Shop their options here.

5 Cute sneakers. I’ve always been a huge fan of vans and converse. Perfect for any age or gender, and a great price point.

6 Last to pull it all together, a great oversized coat. Whether you’re wearing leggings, jeans or a dress, a coat always pulls your look together and makes it feel more finished. I get so many compliments on this one, no matter what I’m wearing it with!
