And so it begins….

We had a delightful time editing your closet and now, we’re taking things to the next level with your Uber Wishlist. Our goal is to ensure that your closet feels like your own curated boutique with every piece flattering your frame, communicating your authentic personal style and empowering to live life the way that speaks to YOU. Off we go.

First up, you lean toward silver and with your winter color palette that makes perfect sense. Naturally, gold is all the rage right now so we want to simplify getting dressed without sacrificing your style. Enter mixed metal pieces. I’m loving All Saints for you- the style is all yours and the brand limits their sizes to the lower end of the scale, so my hope is that we’ll have success for you off the rack and limit tailoring. If that doesn’t turn out to be true, one thing is for sure, the style and quality are just right for you. Mix and match any of these to ensure that hardware on shoes, bags, clothing and the like work together. And this handbag will change your life. Yes! You’ve got an array of designer bags and I vote we stay with that trend. This mixed metal option from All Saints is an easy fix for any mixed metal connundrums.

I was losing my mind when I found this. Truly. An incredibly memorable Alexander McQueen suit on super sale in your size! The gods have aligned. Don’t worry, we can mix and match this with super casual pieces so it will get lots of action in your collection. Notice the hourglass shape to highlight your curves in all the best ways.

Sure! You can add a dressy top with this suit for a major win. For now, I like it with something much more casual to balance your style. Try this flattering Misfits tee (band shirts can be flattering!) or a fun tube top that makes dancing at a show easy.

Finishing off this look, we have the uber flattering trousers that show your shape with a feminine cut and your new style essential- a pair of Valentino Rock Stud Shoes. I’ve got them on this list in multiple color stories because I found them on super sale, so they are listed separately. If you can believe it, things only get better from here:)

I’m a super fan of climbers for you. Who needs all those piercings when you can buy a climber and just have the look when you feel like it? They also have a punk rock vibe that can add a needed edge to even the most conservative looks. Yes, you have a black leather jacket. But, I really want to make sure you have THE black leather jacket. You’ll see a few choices on this list to choose from. Out of all of them, this has the most details. It’s a flattering shape for you and will need to be balanced on the bottom, so remember your style math. And you’ll be very enthusiastic about the price break.

Few things are as reminiscent of punk rock as a good old fashioned safety pin. This independently. made choice gives even the most subtle cue to any outfit. Plus, it’s a nice size for your petite frame.

Silk tops are lovely for you and communicate that chic, polished, luxurious look that is so appealing and aligned with your style. The key is balancing them with edgier pieces. Silk is a better option than satin- you’ll see- and this feminine choice is ideal. You can tie the neck differently so it won’t have a bow. We chatted about skinny jeans and while they aren’t all the rage right now, there are ways to work around that. These metallic leather pants are exactly the route. I love them for you already and can’t wait to see you style them with a t-shirt and sneakers or level up with a look like this one.

I want to be sure you have some gold jewelry and these unique earrings from Seattle boutique, Prism, can work with virtually every outfit. They are also great with the red Valentinos above.

Alexander McQueen does it again with this one of a kind feeling top. Yes, it has a crewneck, but the three dimensional design is all feminine all the time. (And of course, we can always open the neckline if we want to. That’s the magic of tailoring, friend.) While we’re here, I LOVE that you use an umbrella so there’s no need for a full on raincoat. I also love having a vegan leather trench in your collection to simplify getting dressed and running around town on rainy days. This textured choice from Avec Les Filles (Woot! Let’s hear it for French!) is a great option for you. It will integrate with your collection and this shade of red is especially lovely next to your face.

Cargos have worked well for you, as long as they show your shape. La’Agence is a great brand based in LA and inspired by French fashion. These are a nice balance for more expressive options up top to ensure you are still balanced without adding bulk or hiding your bottom half. And to finish things off, I am a super fan of the purple Valentinos. However will you choose?! Yes! Purple and red do work together, so you can pair these up.

Local maker Baleen is the genius behind these earrings and they are the bold, edgy option you’ll turn to on the regular.

Two more designer options keep things luxurious and interesting. We’re skipping all the old boring clothes out there for pieces that are works of art with a punk rock vibe. This functional and feminine top flatters your frame and is still super comfortable on the daily. These hot pink pants can easily be transformed into a component for your punk rock aesthetic. The flattering shape is loose but not boxy or overly baggy. Love love love and both are super easy to pair.

A pair of silver booties will take you far. They are a neutral and a nice alternative to black or white. Either option from United Nude is going to make you very happy and will be shockingly easy to pair. I adore them to finish off this look or endless other combinations.

This necklace!

And while we’re here, let’s prove that mixed metal is a real thing by pairing a silver dress with gold accessories, shall we? Try this with a pair of your black designer boots or heels. Options abound! Herve Ledger is the genius behind the bandage dress and you won’t find a more flattering cut. Truly. Get ready to turn heads. Even better, you can wear this any time of year or in any weather, so it’s also useful for international travel:)

We all love glamorous clothes but I also know we need to be sure you have something spectacular to wear regardless of the situation. Say, “hello” to your new casual pieces. Hoodies are an essential for anyone in tech, but they can also be flattering and communicate your style. This petite choice from the Gap is a solid choice and a basic, flattering tank it essential, too. We’ll mix and match them with leather, studs, metallics and more for your authentic looks.

Two more black leather jacket options. Again, you won’t need all three. But you may want to walk away with more than one. Let me advocate for these two. First, the jacket on the left is Elodie’s vegan leather moto. It’s super flattering, super affordable and is a cool look that can be worn in the rain, which is magnificent. It’s not too precious to go with you to shows or places with smoke. It’s a dream.

The second is Walter Baker’s cropped moto. It’s luxurious, flattering, timeless and just right for your shape- in the land of moto jackets. Really, the question is whether or not you like the jacket with all the hardware from earlier on the list. If so, you may want to add the vegan leather choice for functionality. You can also add the Walter Baker if three doesn’t feel like too many. If it does, just opt for the studded jacket or the Walter Baker.

Now, you’ve got your tank top or hoodie (depending on the weather) or both (if you’d like to have layers for flexibility) and you’ve added your leather jacket. It’s time to add something fun and feminine to the mix with this dark floral skirt. It flatters your slim hourglass shape and shows off your legs. Wear it with tights in cold weather or bare legs in the shoulder seasons. This is the edgy floral you’ve been searching for.

I love it when clothes do the work for you. This dress from Veronica Beard is a stellar example of that approach as it shows off your hourglass shape. Roll out of bed, toss it on and you’re good to go. Cold outside? Add this incredibly flattering and memorable leather jacket from Balenciaga. It’s pre-owned in excellent condition, so you’ll save money and have something that isn’t available for purchase right now. Both are edgy, functional and flattering and the discounts are so good.

You like scarves and Alexander McQueen, so let’s celebrate this marriage of the two. And it’s time to make sure you have the perfect winter coat. Your navy military inspired coat is glorious and we chatted about getting a black option. Instead, I vote for this white wrap coat from All Saints. It’s flattering, luxurious, edgy and shows confidence. Plus, it breaks up the black on this list and is lovely with the colors, too. Go! Go! Go!

You’ve been experimenting with a crop top over a button up, I vote we simplify that process with Staud’s combo. You’ll really adore this high end brand with quality pieces and unique designs. There isn’t as much edge or punk rock to the brand, but certainly pieces that are ideal for you. L’Agence for the win again, this time with coated ankle jeans. They’ll celebrate your shape and introduce an edge to any look.

Yes! You can buy these mixed metal options separately from All Saints, or you can save some cash and buy them at the same time;)

Oh! Oh! Oh! One last black leather jacket. Again, you don’t need them all BUT who could pass up this pre-owned Alexander McQueen choice?! And it’s so good for your shape.

Last but absolutely not least, we’re finishing things off with one more cozy, luxurious outfit. Layering options are essential and they can be super sexy, too. This petite cropped tank is sure to take you from day to lounge to sleepwear and why not layer it underneath the petite zipper hoodie that’s ideal to layer under any jacket on this list?

These velveteen flare pants are so bad ass. They elongate your legs, show off your curves and are fun to mix and match with your new and existing pieces. Plus, they are lovely for colder weather. Wear them with heels or we can tailor them for flats. And in the spirit of a comprehensive list, we’re finishing things off with your last pair of Valentinos. Again, all the colors are great choices, so go with your gut. I especially like these because they don’t have silver or gold, making them even easier to pair. But, of course, you have mixed metal choices anyway so…..

And there you have it! Luxurious, punk rock, just right for real life. I am dying to hear what you think. Happy shopping!
