Loving a white blouse...

          




A men's inspired white shirt is classic and sure to 
never go out of style.
Here are a few of my favorite ways to style a white blouse for our lifestyle today.



A relaxed white blouse with denim…this shirt by Bella Dahl is a good combination of denim material that feels like a soft blouse.



A white blouse tunic…styled alone but looks great too with a blazer or under a vest or sweater.  


Never tired of a tie-front blouse…favorite look with a long print skirt.

A Denim Blouse…a wardrobe staple

A denim blouse can give you multiple style options year round….worn under a sweater or blazer and just as versatile with a summer skirt or as a beach cover-up.  Along with our essential denim bottoms, we will add a DENIM BLOUSE as a wardrobe essential!

bottoms up!

Editing your closet…it's not an easy job.  Every wardrobe should be designed around certain essentials. We'll start with these essentials so you can evaluate whether you need to purchase, save or donate…( we have local suggestions…so call us if you need a recommendation for charities needing clothing)

It's actually easier to start wardrobe planning with bottoms…most of us start the other way around.  Bottoms are more challenging and we tend to wear our favorites over and over…sound familiar??!

Our first closet edit will be DENIM!.…remember, we are editing for wardrobe basics….as we get ready to add seasonal styles, we will suggest new colors or prints!  Enjoy!
                                                            




                               1 to 2 pairs of each…bootleg and skinny/straight
                     This  Level 99 wash is pretty neutral, but I really like a darker wash.



          
            At least 1 pair of a distressed or boyfriend jean…these are not going out of style.

            At least 1 pair of a black denim straight or skinny…they go with everything



             A pair of black slim front trousers or pant….this length is really versatile for        
             different types of looks.  

             A bit of a spurge, but these particular VInce pants are leather and will always be 
             a wardrobe essential. 





                    A pair of white or winter white denim…you can wear year round.



              Either a legging or some type of athletic pant.  Couldn't live without
              when traveling.

A stylish new year!






Nanette Lepore's Closet



For most of us a dream closet is just a dream….but I would like to think that everyone has the potential to fall in love with their closet!

When designing Julep several years ago, I always wanted the store to feel like a women's dream dressing room.  My own closet, not so much.

January is a great month to style, organize & edit your winter wardrobe as we prepare for   a new Spring season.   

Hope you'll join us with the challenge…stay tuned!
