Raise Your Basics Bar - Raise Your Wardrobe

Hi Friends,

Another post too long for email, please click the title. It’s also a paid post. If you’re not a paid subscriber, I invite you to redeem a free post and hope you’ll join us. Thanks to all my subscribers for supporting my work.

The one-month countdown is on for my two-month trip to the Costa Blanca of Spain. I finally assessed what I have and what I want; it comes down to tried and true things that I know work for me, with room to add when I get there. Hopefully, I’ll find some great little Spanish brands or designers that are not available here. I’m looking forward to new hunting grounds with a new perspective. Any leads you have are welcome. Throughout the trip I’ll be posting and will let you know what I find!

After a styling session with myself, I assessed what I already had for the trip and was able to see clearly what it is I still need. Surprisingly, it comes down to the basics: A new white shirt, white jeans with a more relaxed fit, a great pair of slim black pants, and replenishing my T-shirts.

Here’s what I came up with. Fortunately, it’s a great time to shop. COS just started their friends and family sale, add the code COSFRIEND for 25% off many items. Saks has extended their spring sale to the end of this month for 20-25% off many new spring arrivals and Bloomingdale’s also has a promotion going on.
