The Root of it All...

Fall is my favorite season. I love the weather, the leaves changing colors, the new Fall fashions!

Well...I was loving it until I stepped into my closet and felt a little overwhelmed; suddenly I feel like I have nothing to wear or at least, nothing I want to wear...but why do I feel this way? surely there are plenty of things in here that made me feel great last Fall, why is there such a yearning for something new?

With all of the focus on saving money right now or at least not splurging on a whole new wardrobe; I am determined to create some new looks with what I've got. I encourage and empower you to do the same.

Get Inspired! A good starting place is to figure out what type of looks you want.

Ask yourself what types of looks are you drawn to? Who do you want to be? What do you want your look to say about you?

For years friends of mine joke with me about all of these binders that I have where I've been collecting pictures with looks;be it hair, make up, clothes, accessories, ads etc. Everytime I think about who I am and what I want my clothes to express about me, it's a great to place to find inspiration. Besides, when you don't feel like those looks are relevant anymore, just throw the pictures away.

Find items, photos, magazine ads of looks, attitudes, emotions that convey everything you see for yourself this coming season. Once that's done, look for any connecting themes and chose a title for it like Urban Glam or Chic street etc. It's the perfect place to start!
