I just had a baby and wanna start restocking my closet with regular size clothes. I wanna basically revamp my whole wardrobe with pieces that will last through the seasons and not be too trendy that I can’t wear them again next year. Please help….
Heres my opinion on some popular, classic pieces that will last throughout the seasons (the ones with the * are my favorite) -
*Woven caps (beanies)
* Skinny jeans, or whatever your favorite style is, in dark denims
* Soft scarves that you can tie around your neck
* Ballet flats
- Wedge Heels
* Pea coats are a DEFINITE classic, I’ve had a black one for years and I wear it all the time!
* Chunky knit sweaters (you can wear them as a day look or on a cool, summer night) I absolutely LOVE wrap sweaters!
* Accessories! You can never go wrong with some cute bangles or a pendant necklace.
* Large tote bags (you could even use one as a diaper bag! My best friend has a large Coach tote she keeps all her daughters things in and it looks so much cuter than just carrying around her Pooh diaper bag!)
- Leggings
* A classic MUST is also a crisp, white shirt. You can play it up with the right necklace or just throw on a pair of jeans and head to the store. It’s really versatile. I love white collared shirts, the look so sophisticated!
- A pair of great-fitting black slacks. Black goes with anything. ‘Nuff said.
* Black heels!
- Fitted blazers. They can be dressed up or down and make you feel so chic in the frumpiest of moods.
* Leather boots! I LOVE THEM. They last forever and are GREAT over jeans or leggings this season, but you can switch it up and wear under jeans, with a cute dress to go out, or with anything. Best. Shoes. EVER.
There are so many pieces you can carry over throughout the year! Stick to items that you like and feel comfortable in and stay away from anything with large prints, graphics, strange colors (like mustard yellow!!! yuck) and anything over-the-top like frills, fringe, sequence, etc.. Im not saying you CANT have those, just use in moderation because most likely, a LOT of sparkle isn’t gonna be hot in a year, or maybe even a few months.
I hope some of these tips are helpful, and I’m going to list a few books that give some excellent tips and some websites that have some great clothes for even better prices!
Good Luck and congrats on your baby :o)

hair: little bows are cute. you can just wear you hair down nd clip in a bow to the side.
shirts: i think that any type of shirt, with a bow around it is cute.
jeans are always in! get some regular jeans and put beads or something on the pockets.
uggs for winter, roxy flip flops atre good for summer

Everybody is wearing pea coats,and they work perfect for winter(i got myself a white one after i saw jessica alba wearing one and i absolutily love it!!)Get at least one pair of dark denim (not to dark)jeans because dark denim never goes out of style and a pair of wedges.Wedges can be worn with shorts,dresses,jeans(make you look taller and legs thinner)just about anything. As for shirts grab an issue of vouge now because they are showing what will be hot in summer and then you will have an idea and be ahead of the game!!
hope this helps
