My Style Secret: Capsule Wardrobe

Have you ever wished for a personal stylist? Have you ever tried a capsule wardrobe? I did not even know what one really was before I found Get Your Pretty On!

In case you don’t know…A capsule wardrobe is defined as s a collection of a few essential items of clothing that don’t go out of fashion, such as skirts, trousers, and coats, which can then be augmented with seasonal pieces. A closet full of classics with a few trendy pieces mixed in to stay current. Sounds great right?

After having my babies I really entered a clothing rut. I could not figure out which store was ‘mine’ anymore. Where was a 30 something supposed to shop?! I would go shopping and buy a top here or there but then could not find a matching bottom I quite liked. Coming home with a lot of mismatched items that just did not work together was so discouraging and frustrating. I always searched Pinterest for outfit inspiration and clicked on pins only to find the pieces I liked were no longer available or well out of my budget! It was so frustrating! This went on for years!

Get Your Pretty On!

One day I was searching for more outfits and an ad popped up for Get Your Pretty On’s Fall Style Challenge! I was intrigued and clicked on it. The rest is history! I signed up. This service is what I had been wanting…wait….NEEDING in my life! I was so happy I could hardly stand it. A capsule wardrobe with a shopping list with links to CURRENTLY AVAILABLE items from stores I could afford! It was a dream come true really! I was an instant fan.

Get Your Pretty On Community

Just when I thought I could not get any luckier I then met the GYPO Community (other style-challenged clients) via a private Facebook group. Believe me when I tell you there is not another group of more supportive women on the planet as the GYPO Challenge group members! This is a place where we all come together because of our love for fashion but it is so much more! These women help with questions you have on which shoes to wear, which outfit looks the best and any other question you might have about fashion and sometimes life too! Over time you get to know one another virtually but it is so easy given how sweet everyone is to one another. Talk about refreshing!

Personal Stylist: Alison Lumbatis

The personal stylist behind this amazing service is Alison Lumbatis! Alison is so active in the challenge group. She really is there for each of us! Her live Q&A sessions are so helpful. Each season’s challenge just gets better and better from the last…if that is even possible! She keeps our closets up to date but full of classics. I am so thankful for Alison and her service!

Having a closet full of pieces that all work together makes getting ready in the morning so simple! It makes packing for quick or long trips super easy too! Your first mission is to shop your closet! Figure out what you already have before you start shopping. I needed quite a few pieces when I joined but now there is very little that I ‘need’ and whatever I add is simply because I really like it and want it!
