CLOSET CAPSULES
Seasonal wardrobes made up of timeless, versatile pieces will ensure that you’re stylish while 
your closet is, well, let’s just say a little naked. Overhaul your closet, keeping only things that you love – and love to wear. Invest in fewer, high quality pieces (a buttery leather jacket, a go-to skirt for work) to replace the mountain of unworn and outdated stuff you discard.
We put together some ideas with the help of Liquid Blue Denim Boutique in Fulton (a shop that while specializing in high-end jeans, has more than just denim).
See how easy it is to create several outfits from a few statement pieces. A burgundy leather jacket can be worn with jeans, dresses and flirty shorts, at formal gatherings or weekend jaunts.
If you miss your party dresses and trendy looks, we’ve got you covered. Instead of investing hundreds on something you will wear once, sign up for Rent the Runway, the answer to the “I have nothing to wear!” wail.
For a fraction of what it would cost to buy it new, borrow a formal gown or festive party dress – with jewelry to match. Rent the Runway can also help to abate handbag addictions.
