Bare

Nothing to wear? One knows the feeling. Especially as the seasons change. Winter things too drear. Spring things too drafty. Or, perhaps, the issue is more “big picture.” Time for a closet overhaul and maybe some shopping? Emily, of Jane’s Vanity, offers a few suggestions to help you sort it out.

When you can’t seem to get dressed, Emily suggests that you simplify your choices. For her, that means a long Klements dress. Put it on and you’re done. The silky feel and beautiful patterns provide an instant lift. If it is chilly, a sweater layers over nicely. Just add jewelry. This effortlessly chic look is perfect for travel, too.

Or sometimes, Emily notes, it is necessary to weed your wardrobe. A suitable occupation for a rainy weekend. Try it all on. If a piece doesn’t make your happy, get rid of it. And, as you go, think of new ways to create intermeshing ensembles. Is there a missing link? JV can help. Try these brilliantly simple additions to your closet:

Pretty camisoles: Transition to Spring with camisoles from Italian design house Dana Pisarra. Their camisoles smooth your lines, flatter your bust, and layer ingeniously with your cardigans and low-cut sweaters.Try the whisper-weight knit Romantic Camisole in Antique or Amande with lace at neckline and full hem. Or choose one of  Dana’s lacy silk-ribbed classics in a range of colors from black to slate to cherry red. A camisole is a great way to build your look.

Silk pajamas: Mix and match them into your wardrobe. Belt the top and wear under a blazer and skinny jeans. Pair the bottoms with a v-neck sweater and velvet flats. Start with Morpho + Luna’s Ines Floral version in black silk with painterly floral print.

Something cashmere: Zynni offers un-basic cashmere that can get you out the door in record time. The Harvest Poncho top, with turtleneck and ribbed waistband, looks great with jeans or a pencil skirt. The Color Block Long Tunic puts you together all day and into the night.

Jane’s Vanity to the rescue. Inspiration, like spring, is just around the corner.
