How to Curate Your Life, Glamorously {Day 2}

It's Day 2 of our new series, "How to Curate Your Life, Glamorously." We, of course, are talking about wardrobe because it is that important to how you live daily.

How to Build a Signature Wardrobe That Feels Like You Elevated

A signature wardrobe is the ultimate fashion flex—it makes getting dressed effortless and confidence automatic. Start by noticing what you reach for most, the silhouettes that make you feel gorgeous, and the colors that feel like your favorite emotion, from calm to excited. Work through removing pieces that don't give you that feeling or a stale with old energy. When your closet reflects you, it automatically elevates who you are.

Having a capsule wardrobe as a base is a perfect way to always have items you want to wear. From there, you can add the fun, more trendy styles. I love to make shoes the center of attention, that is where I tend to splurge and go for a noticeable statement-making moment.

Here’s a practical starter list you can adapt, and by no means a wardrobe, but in my opinion, essentials.

• Basic T-shirts (neutral colors)

• Elevated tops or knit tops

• Button-down shirts (white or chambray)

• Casual bottoms like a clean black pair of leggings (not for the gym)
