And building that dream wardrobe takes more than buying different pieces. It's mostly knowing how to pair and rework everything we've got. Especially the separates and the one-pieces.

You have probably heard before now that your wardrobe reflects your personality so adding white pieces to your wardrobe can elevate your style and give it a classic finish.

It is better to fold all knit items to prevent hanger bumps. This includes sweaters, T-shirts and some blouses. This just suggests that clothes that are knitted and have loose knit holes should not be kept in hangers because chances are the hangers might ruin them e.g the hanger gets stuck in one of the holes. Oh no!!!  2. Garments that have sequins, embellishments and appliqués are best protected in your wardrobe by putting them in a garment bag, that way it makes them dust free and helps prevent tangling or loosing of the appliqués and beading. 3.

Filling this one up. I  took a walk in the woods today , and walks this time of the year - although this winter is very much warmer than normally - always makes me chilly and calls for a warm bath. (Will also add that here I am carefully balancing and cropping out husband's mini-motorcycle workshop that has appeared on the bathroom floor, with it's tires resting here for their second week already...) Meanwhile, filling this up too. The rest of the family is in the north skiing so might as well do a little bubbly by myself. In with this golden Lush bath-thingie! On with some opera in the background (with more volume than otherwise, as, alas, I am indeed the only one in the house for now) and then in in the bath with me! Not coming up until I have reached full-on raisin mode.
