We are now officially into the beautiful month of September and hopefully those of you who are joining with me in this Month’s Organizing Challenge have already started to work on organizing your closets. For the full post and info just go over here. It’s not too late to work with me and to get your closet more organized!

*KISS – Invest in quality neutral pieces to build a solid foundation in your wardrobe.

As we think about maximizing our wardrobes in a minimizing way, it’s so important to use the “Less IS More” approach.

My number one (self-experienced) tip is to start with a solid foundation in your closet of quality neutral pieces. Specifically, the pieces of clothing that are neutral colors – black, white, grey, brown and navy. Find clothing items in these colors (tops and bottoms) and ensure that they are well-fitting, made of quality (long-lasting) fabrics, and that they are comfortable for you to wear. (If things aren’t comfortable you just don’t tend to wear them!)

The above picture was from a post I did last year, where I took seven items of clothing and created seven different outfits. By taking primarily neutral colored pieces of clothing I was able to put together seven classic looks.

When you’ve got a great neutral basic, all you need to do is layer it with a scarf or add some fun earrings and BAM you’ve got a fresh and stylish look!
