Wardrobe Revamp: Tortoise Print

Ever since I was a little girl I have loved the brown pattern of tortoise print. In my efforts to add classic pieces to my wardrobe I have stumbled upon some amazing accessories.  Here are some great pieces I have my eye on. My favorite is the navy and tortoise necklace.

Wardrobe Revamp: Navy Blazer

One of my main shopping goals this year is to be more conscious of my purchases. I want to invest in classic pieces that will last over time. You can read more about the vision for my wardrobe revamp here. One of my first purchases is a navy blazer. I realize that there is nothing groundbreaking about a blazer but this simple piece has been missing in my wardrobe. Now that I have one, I have worn it weekly!

Here are a few inspirations for future outfits.

Building my Wardrobe: Wardrobe Revamp

One thing that I have been envious of is a simple classic wardrobe. Over the past year, I have been trying to invest in classic pieces that will transcend trends and wear well with age. I have noticed that the items I continually grab from my closet are not the cute trendy tops but the simple t-shirts and sweaters. Even with this realization, building a classic wardrobe is hard for me as I love the look of trendy items. Peplum, Neon & Chevron= Love. However, I have never worn items with these trends.

This year I am trying to plan ahead with what I want to buy this spring. I am hoping to purchase simple bold pieces that I will still love years for now.

Mix & Match Wardrobe by sweetcarolinabelle 

I hope to build a wardrobe with many neutral pieces that can be mixed and matched easily. Also, a pop of color could be added with a scarf or a bold piece of jewelry. My go to stores when looking for staple items are Ann Taylor Loft. CWonder & JCrew. Being 5'2 I tend to shop at places that have petites or offer tailoring. I have never purchased a pair of white denim or a jean jacket. Both items are high on my wish list for the spring. Also, I would love a pair of comfy loafers for work and travel.
