Holy crow I’ve been having the time of my life putting this list together. It’s a big one so I’m holding off on jewelry until you are able to go through this one. I can do that in the next few days when you are ready:) This way you can focus on clothes and handbags. VERY exciting.

Our goal is to create a new look for you that embraces your authentic personal style. You’ve been trying out some more adventurous pieces here and there (faux fur, sequins, you name it!) but not quite sure how to bring it all together in a cohesive look. This list will show you the path including opportunities for memorable pieces, monochromatic looks and more. Each time, you’ll see fun and easy to create outfits that are functional for your life and exciting to put on. Off we go!

First up, we’ve got two handbags on this list. I know you prefer to have one so choose what speaks to you or go for both depending on your mood. This is the more expressive option that’s on SUPER SALE. It coordinates with the colors in your palette and is sure to get lots of compliments. Plus, because it’s a cross body, it’s super easy for everyday and fun for special occasions, too.

Pair it with this showstopper.

Okay, full disclosure this one is a real investment. Don’t worry, there is nothing close to this pricepoint anywhere else on the list. But, I couldn’t bring myself to skip it. A real leather in an unforgettable ombre, this is much more practical than it seems and can be your signature piece. Yes! You can wear it with abandon. Leather jackets last a lifetime and you won’t find another one like this. I love it with the handbag above for maximum impact. You have a small waist and the light color is drawing the eye there rather than to your hips, thanks to the shorter length. That means we’ll balance your hips with this bold piece with nearly any bottom.

While that jacket will pair effortlessly with pants, I love it with a dress like this one from Anthro. Insanely flattering and comfortable to wear, I can see you in this outfit in Spain, at the office or running around town with your husband.

Finish it off with these super comfortable and hip sandals. Shoes are the easiest way to elevate a look and also the simplest way to age yourself unnecessarily. So, opt for styles that are stylish and comfortable. It’s important that your ankles are secure and these do the job.

Next up, our uber functional and elevated handbag choice. Yes, you have crossbody bags with multiple compartments. This one is high quality leather and will elevate your look without compromising your handbag needs.

You adore prints so let’s get some memorable prints that are anything but granny into your collection. Florals bring you joy and this dress is sure to be a go-to. It’s crazy comfortable, feminine and can be paired with a wide array of jackets on this list. Yes! Cardigans are just fine, too:) It’s all about balance. Try this with the black blazer in cooler months or the green leather jacket just below. It’s also great with denim. The options are endless. This cut is super flattering, as well.

I recognize that the pink ombre jacket is a major investment. Rest assured if that doesn’t feel right, there are plenty of options to bring it all together. I adore this green faux leather option, especially for spring. Faux leather is water resistant so it’s not precious and holds up well in the rain. This shade is lovely on you and pairs well with olive green, one of your favorites. Putting the two colors together means that the lighter color is drawing the eye up while the green outfit is elongating your frame.

Try it with this sweater underneath or wear the sweater solo with a tank top underneath. Another memorable piece, this batwing style flatters your frame and the open back is sexy without being inappropriate for work (assuming you layer a tank underneath). Feel empowered to put multiple shades of the same color together for sophisticated and polished look. (I also adore this sweater with jeans or shorts for a more casual approach.)

You can’t go wrong with this cut of pants from Boden. For spring and summer, they are selling it mostly in linen. Throughout the year, other fabric options will appear. With a higher waist, wide leg and cropped style, it balances your frame beautifully and your beloved olive green is now officially in the mix! Boden is a stellar resource for you and I can’t wait for you to explore the brand.

Finishing things off with an animal print flat is always a good idea. You had some animal prints in your existing collection and these are comfortable, stylish and on sale! Remember, animal prints are a neutral so you can mix and match them with stripes and any color solid piece.

A lightweight long jacket is essential for you. This length is flattering for your frame and minimizes your hips. It’s also just right year-round but especially for spring and summer because the fabric isn’t heavy. I vote for either (or both) colors, depending what appeals to you. Regardless, you’ll get lots of use out of either (or both) of these as they look incredible with dresses, skirts and pants.

Layer them up with t-shirt to keep things balanced. After all, your office is not dressy so we’re focusing on maintaining a nice balance between dressy and casual pieces keeping your look polished and relaxed. I love these linen t-shirts from Banana Republic for a more sophisticated take on a traditional tee. Also, this style has a knot at the bottom, one of the silhouettes that you adore that also flatters your Triangle frame.

Artizia and Boden are ideal choices for you when it comes to pants. This style is just right for your small waist and curvy bottom half as the belt is adjustable. The quality is great and you’ll soon find these are a go-to. These also pair beautifully with the long jackets above, making an effortless “suit” when you need one for clients, conferences, etc.

Let’s complete this look with another pair of comfortable, stylish shoes. These are from Eileen Fisher- the queen of comfortable sandals. Thanks to the magic of Nordstrom Rack, they are on sale and an elevated accessory that also secures your ankle.

Obsessed with this dress.

The giraffe print is unexpected and the cut is incredibly flattering and easy to wear. This is another useful piece for travel as it works with myriad pieces on this list. I especially like it with the espadrilles above and the green vegan leather jacket or the black denim jacket.

It’s important that you have a go-to option when a special occasion arises. This is a flattering choice that also offers flexibility should your weight fluctuate. It is just right regardless of the season and works for a wide range of occasions. Don’t worry, there are bra solutions we can discuss:)

Ready to make an impact with your quiet confidence? This lavender leather jacket paired with the cocktail dress above is a glorious option. The pinks and purples on your color palette were especially appealing to you and you’ll discover that they work well with a wide variety of choices. Thanks to Etsty, this is available for a fraction of the price that we’d find it at a traditional retailer- if we found it at all. And, it’s in real leather. Yes! Yes! Yes! Also, don’t worry about having too many jackets. Each one on this list is useful, memorable and flattering. Opt for your favorites or go with them all. Whatever your approach, we’ll pull it all together with your outfit session. Just enjoy yourself!

Sometimes you’ll want a t-shirt and other times, you’ll want something a bit more elevated. This jersey top is for those days. It’s still casual but shows you are a leader. Try it solo or layered under a jacket or sweater, depending on the temperature.

The Effortless Pant from Aritzia is ideal for your shape and I’m loving this charcoal grey option for your collection. It’s in your color palette and will mix and match easily with your collection. Try it with the pink ombre leather jacket for the win! In this example, we’re using with the lavender leather jacket and the white top above.

Complete this outfit with these comfortable and cool loafer sneakers from Cole Haan. They are on super sale and silver will work with the vast majority of your collection, so they are super practical. Even better, you are a fan of metallic pieces, so this is communicating your authentic personal style.

We both adored your tropical pieces so I vote we add another fresh option that also coordinates with your jackets. Flattering and ideal for warm weather wherever you are, this dress is all the things.

One more cocktail dress option just in case. You mentioned your love of cranberry and this halter dress allows you to wear pleats and still look and feel great, thanks to the design. I adore this dress because it’s appropriate for a more conservative situation and is anything but boring. Layer a leather jacket over top to introduce an edge to your ensemble.

I saw this bathing suit cover up and couldn’t pass it up.

Yes! Cardigans are just fine, too. Let’s make sure you have at least one for the days when you aren’t into a jacket. Quince is a fabulous resource for you as the brand offers nice quality pieces at a fraction of the price of traditional retail. This long cardigan flatters your frame and is a useful layering piece, especially in olive green.

Try it with this expressive silk tank top. It feels luxurious and is a nice way to elevate your presentation with minimal effort. Just as delightful with jeans or shorts as it is with leather or polished trousers.

Recognize these pants? They are the same style as listed above. Choose from the colors shown as either (or both) are useful to you and flattering your frame. I especially love this photo as you can see a similar body shape in the style.

Last but absolutely not least in this outfit, Aerosoles make reasonably priced comfort shoes. This fun color will make you happy and shockingly work with a wide variety of pieces- that’s the magic of a color palette.

You and your husband are heading to Spain later this month and I wanted to have a graphic tee on your list. Feel free to grab this one or pick up something on your trip. Either way, we’re channeling Poplin client, Gwen here. We styled her with a graphic tee and a blazer and that approach resonated with you. Let’s try this one to illustrate how you’ll create a similar look that is authentic to you.

So, yes! You can layer a graphic tee under a blazer here. The black blazer is a great choice. You can also opt for a denim jacket. If it’s a little cold out, you have options. I love layering a cropped sweatshirt with a more polished piece. This shade of pink is gorgeous and this fit is a dream. Try it over a graphic tee then put a jacket over top with the hood popping out and a hint of the sweatshirt showing.

Now elevate this look with a vegan leather skirt. We can tailor this to your ideal length. The shape is super flattering and this is useful throughout the majority of the year. In this example, try it with a bare leg and the sneakers below. Or, opt for ankle boots in the fall and add hosiery in the winter. Done and done.

Hip sneakers are important. After all, sneakers give you super comfortable shoes to wear and choosing the right pair makes your outfit feel current and effortless. This pair from New Balance meets all your needs and will become quick favorites. Pairing this skirt with these sneakers is also a great option for travel as you’ll be walking a ton amongst well dressed folks.

Remember all those references to the black blazer and denim jackets? Well, here they are! The blazer is ponte and is super comfortable and stretchy. The denim choice in the middle is timeless, flattering and casual. The jacket the furthest to the right is a more polished, stretch denim blazer that will make more casual pieces feel polished. Choose your favorite(s).

I’m a super fan of this print. It’s edgy and still subtle and the shapeless shift means plenty of room for you to move about while still looking lovely. Layer any of the jackets above with this one or wear it solo, depending on the weather and occasion.

Let’s be honest, Every Seattle-ite needs more than one sweatshirt. Let’s make sure your options are all flattering and aligned with your authentic personal style. Layer this under the leather jackets. I especially dig it under the green vegan leather choice.

Pair it with these insanely flattering ponte pants from Boden. We’ll tailor them to be ankle length and you’ll feel like you are wearing yoga pants. These also work with the black blazer for a more relaxed suit, should you ever need it.

Finish off this look and so many others with either of these pairs of shoes. First, lavender Gazelles!?! Yes, please. And, of course, those are dreamy with the lavender leather jacket. Or go for the Miz Mooz. These insanely comfortable flats are available in a zillion great colors. I like the teal but really, you can’t go wrong.

Go from the office to date night in this super flattering dress. Simply layer a jacket over top while at work and take it off when you head out. You’ll be amazed how comfortable it is to show skin in this location.

Let’s make sure you have options for going out on your trips or dressier situations. This dark floral dress will show your curves and the halter helps balance your shape. You may find that you prefer it with a jacket over top (you’ve got options)! Either way, it’s aligned with your style, works with your collection here AND is a truly memorable piece.

We’re wrapping things up with a few pieces that I just couldn’t cut from the list. First, this is the same hoodie, but in a navy stripe. Stripes and florals are great together and this fun print is a major win solo or layered under the jackets.

I want to be sure you also have a collection of tops for work (or play) that make getting dressed effortless. Both of these accomplish that goal. The floral choice from Spanish company Desigual is feminine both becaus of the print and the shape. It’s also nice to have long sleeves so you can potentially skip layering pieces.

I know you don’t typically wear button down shirts, but this boxy silk style is a more casual approach to a classic and the color is everything. Try either with the jeans below or the black vegan leather skirt to get you started.

Great white jeans are so useful and Kut from the Kloth makes an inexpensive pair that works well for the spring and summer. Yes, we can invest more in jeans, but if your weight on the bottom fluctuates, it may serve you better to cut costs here.

And finally, a pair of white sneakers makes finishing even the most complicated pairings easier. This pair from Birkenstock is super cool because you can see the cork sole and of course, you can rest assured that you’ll be comfortable on a long walk.

And there you have it! I can’t wait to hear what you think. Have a great time shopping and just embrace it all, don’t overthink. I’ve got you:)
