✨ January Capsule: 10 Pieces I’m Styling on Repeat This Month This year, I’m shifting from more clothes to more creativity. My monthly mini capsule is my personal challenge to style what I already own in new ways — and get honest about what’s no longer working. Here’s what made the cut for January 👇 ✔️ Trend-aligned ✔️ Easy to mix + match ✔️ Pieces I actually wear in my real life (not just on Pinterest) I’m loving cozy layers, relaxed tailoring, and elevated basics that don’t sacrifice comfort. These are the pieces I’m styling over and over this month — and the ones I’d recommend if you’re building a winter capsule that actually works. ✨ Tap to shop the exact or similar items I’m wearing and loving right now.

Wardrobe Reset: My Must-Have Capsule Staples

If I had to rebuild my wardrobe from scratch… these are the pieces I’d start with.
After 20+ years as a stylist, I’ve helped hundreds of women go from “I have nothing to wear” to effortless, elevated style—starting with fewer, better pieces.

Because when your closet is packed but nothing feels right?
It’s a sign you’ve outgrown the chaos.

These are the timeless staples I always recommend—essentials I reach for again and again, and would repurchase without hesitation.

✨ Think: clean lines, elevated neutrals, layerable textures, and silhouettes that actually flatter.
