Hi Pretties and Happy New Year! I’m kicking off 2021 with a special Style Your Budget featuring all closet staples that are perfect for winter but versatile enough to be used for multiple seasons. I can’t stress enough how having a good foundation of closet staples will lead to so many possibilities. By adding these timeless items to your closet foundation you can then easily and seamlessly mix in seasonal trends without feeling like you need to change your whole wardrobe.
After looking through a variety of combinations I decided to start with my button-down chambray shirt, one of my absolute favorite closet staples and then paired with my white denim pants which I’ve really been loving for the winter. I added in my taupe boots which have been a staple in my closet forever. They’re perfect because they can be styled with gray and black tones as well as brown making them also really versatile. Then I finished off this look with a neutral cardigan and my hoop earrings. This look is casual but cozy and feels like a fresh start going into the new year.
And if you’re new to Style Your Budget, this is where I style an outfit and provide different retailer options at different price points. In some cases, the items may already be in your closet but the different price points are there if you’re looking to fill in some gaps or possibly add an investment piece to your closet.
