Personal Stylist | Avoid Impulse Buys!

Personal Stylist - Avoid Impulse Buys! Impulse purchases will be one of the main reasons you struggle with piecing together outfits with-in your wardrobe. These items take up closet space and usually don't add value to creating a full look. If you tend to have a lot of items but not actual outfits than it's more than likely you shop on impulse. What is an impulse buy? An item you bought because the price was right, something you purchased due to it being very on trend in that moment or pressure from friends to make a purchase because they loved the item. How can you avoid impulse buys and start buying pieces that will benefit your wardrobe, create outfits and maybe even lead to multi-functional capsule wardrobe. Style tip Never go shopping without a plan! Plan ahead by creating a personal shopping list. This is the first step a personal stylist will do before shopping with each individual client. We create a seasonal list with the client that is cohesive to the needs of their wardrobe. What is missing in the closet that will help build outfits? Those items get added. Next step, what are a couple of items we can add to the list that fall under trends this season? This helps spice up the basics for each

Matching Hangers A Must! See more tips on Mabelle Style Youtube at the end of this blog. Mabelle Style and everyone else have been hearing a lot about organization, minimalist living and cleaning out the clutter at home. I'd say Marie Kondo has been the dominant influence on these topics that have become so prevalent nowadays.  If you don't know who Marie Kondo is - I recommend that you google her. She has a book available at Indigo. Even better, you can 'netflix & chill' watching the Tidying up withe Marie Kondo.  Mabelle Style focuses on organization of one particular area in your home ... the wardrobe/closet. This is not a small area and is one of the most important ones because it's an area that you are into first thing in the morning or last place at night. It carries vital energy and you want it to be positive. The best time to start the process is NOW... why? Who doesn't want an organized closet where you can see clearly what items you actually have, clothes you love to wear and feel confident in, and most importantly, when using Mabelle Style, you receive a personal shopping list of items you will need to complete that perfect outfit(s).

You will notice Animal print fabric trends just about everywhere these days, and it's here to stay right through 2019. I'm sure this won't be my first outfit post on this theme, more to come for fall! T-shirts, cardigans, dresses, shoes in zebra, cheetah and snake prints and many more animal designs are being shown from low fashion H&M, mid range Nili Lotan to top designers like Gucci.  I'm thinking this may not be just a trend but is now considered forever chic. I have a couple of cheetah print tops circulating in my wardrobe but I wanted to try something new that was a little out of my comfort zone. I purchased a snake print skirt from Mango,  which to be honest, reminded me of something I would have worn in the 90's. It's midi length, satin feeling with a soft snake print. I will say I'm pleasantly surprised how often I've had it on rotation throughout my wardrobe this season, as well as the numerous ways it could be styled! Look 1 - I put the (I like to call them the Meghan Markle heal) Stuart Weitzman and a casual denim shirt from one my my favorite brands Rails. The thought of making a heel feel more casual with denim is a personal style I like to go for. Look 2 - Printed band t's are fun pieces to mix with other different styles
