Keep it Simple

Having been in the midst of many closet revamps with my clients over the past couple weeks, I've realized something very important. Many times, it's NOT about getting the lastest thing, the "must-have" of the season
(I actually hate that phrase.Considering that more often than not,this season's "must-have" is usually the first to go to the consignment store next season). What is most important is building a good base of basics.
We are magpies; attracted to that shiny object, whether it be the new silk Vanessa Bruno top or the citrus yellow Christian Louboutin platforms.
The next time your are tempted to buy that pretty little blouse, ask yourself, "Is this really what I need?"
More than likely what you need is a great white jacket or simply a pair of denim shorts to take your closet to the next level. A fresh white tank top can do wonders for the ho-hum mid length skirt from last season. The key is to maximize what you already have.
