Wardrobe Foundations

Before you buy ANYTHING else, you need to make sure you have built a FOUNDATIONAL wardrobe that suits your taste, your lifestyle, and your body. They need to fit you TODAY and be of current style and in good shape. I add to and update this catalog all year long. In addition, if you like to shop Amazon, I have a storefront there and a section called "SEASONLESS BASICS": www.amazon.com/shop/b.styledpersonalstylingandconsulting

    For those of us who don't feel like messing with buttons or collars but need something more elevated than a tee, this gorgeous tank/shell is fantastic. Built in shelf bra, great length for non-tuckers, but can be half-tucked too, interlock knit makes it a year round base layer.
