Natalie's Style Strategy
• “Buy better. Buy less. Wear longer." That's my style mantra, and it has been since day one. Buy the best you can within your budgetBuy with intentionBuy things you'll wear for many seasons to comeMy wonderful mother, who was not into fashion, ingrained this philosophy in me when I was a little girl going back-to-school shopping. I have built my methodology around this practice. Every piece I purchase must serve a purpose and easily mix and match with at least 3 to 5 things in my closet from the outset. As such, the following inspiration items are a mix of things I already own or similar to what I own, as well as new pieces or brands that I can strategically integrate this season and for years to come. >>See how I would mix & match these findsThank you for joining my style journey!xx, Nat

Nat's Adult Garanimals
• Remember Garanimals? If not, allow me to share this childhood magic! Traditional capsule wardrobes work great for our highly Classic style personalities, but what about the rest of us? That's where your own personal “core-drobe” comes in. It's your unique mix of foundational style pieces that communicate the core of who you are and that also mix and match nicely together—your own Adult Garanimals! Below are examples of how I could wear my finds in many different ways for many different settings and levels of dress, using what I have and integrating some new updates.When I get stuck in a style rut? (Yes, it happens!) I go back to the drawing board and gather or review my inspiration board. Enjoy!
