and you'll be notified every Tuesday when I upload a new video. Today I'm going to talk about the
five must-have basics for spring, but before you do that you need to declutter your closet.
An organized closet makes it easy to get dressed so start this season off right,
before you buy anything get your closet organized. If this job is too big for you
don't worry I can help you. We can work virtually no matter where you live, there's a link down in
the description box below. If this is something you want to do on your own you can download
my Seven Day Declutter guide and I'll put a description for that in the box below as well.
So what are those five must-have basics? Number one is a pair of jeans that fit you really well,
and you can check out my jeans video right here. With the right pair of jeans, those are jeans
that suit your body shape, you can look great. You can change it you can make many outfits.
Here are some ways that you can wear jeans.
The second must-have basic for spring is a dress, that dress should be in your best
colour. It should be one that suits your body shape and one that you can wear different ways.
Or if you want, you can buy more than one dress. You could buy one in a plain colour and one in a
print. If you have two dresses you'll have many more options. Let's take this dress for example,
this is a nice spring dress that you can wear several ways. It's great if you have
a dress in a length that you can wear high heels or you can wear low heels. Another thing to look
for would be a fabric that doesn't wrinkle and also one that's easy to care for. The third
must-have item in your closet is a very nice pair of shoes, a pair of shoes that makes you feel good
to wear them. They should be also in a colour that fits into your wardrobe easily, and have a heel
that you can wear with many things - pants, skirts and also something that's more springish.
Or if you just want to have those nice pair of shoes that you can only wear with one thing
that's fine too. These are my new spring shoes that I love and because of the colour I can't
wear them very often but when I wear them I'm going to really like it. The fourth basic item
to have in your closet is a jacket, depending on where you live that jacket might change if it's
cooler. You'll want a warmer jacket and if it's a warmer climate you'll want a cooler jacket. Find a
jacket that is again in your best neutral, that will match most of what you have and also that
the shape matches what you have. If you've watched any of my videos you know I talk about shapes and
how shapes go together to create symmetry, so make sure the shape goes together with the other things
that you have in your closet. Here's a jacket and a couple of different ways that you can wear it.
The jacket you choose also depends on your lifestyle - where do you want to wear it?How
much and how often do you want to wear it? The main thing is to find a jacket you really love,
one that's going to really perk you up for spring. Number five is, last but not least,
FUN accessories. Find some fun accessories and what I mean by fun accessories are ones that
have colour, colours that match your wardrobe that will give your wardrobe some pizzazz - that might
be nice shoes - it could be a nice handbag - maybe it's a necklace - maybe it's earrings.
Find some fun jewelry, maybe try something different instead of just silver or gold get
colour. Here are some examples of what I call fun jewelry and how you might be able to incorporate
them into your wardrobe. Here we have a glitzy belt and (you'll find the link to this in the
description box below). The first way I'm wearing this is with the buckle at the back
and because it's at the back you need to wear a jacket with it but it's also being worn high so
it creates an empire look - an empire waist. The second one is being worn as you see I'm moving the
buckle down it's at the waist so you can wear it at the waist with the buckle
at the front, you can also wear this belt with jeans and it's shown here with sweaters,
and both sweaters have a little bit of sparkle so there are many ways that you can wear this belt.
Make this spring a fun spring and make it fun by choosing a wardrobe that's fun,
or spicing up your wardrobe you have right now with fun stuff. Thanks for
