What we’re talking about
- Finding Confidence In Your Clothes
- What Is A Capsule Wardrobe?
- Don’t Forget The Finishing Touches
Finding Confidence In Your Clothes
If you are wondering where to start when it comes to wardrobe styling, Jennifer’s advice is to find a perfect pair of jeans and the right size bra. The right bra can make you look taller, leaner, younger and can take 10 lbs and 10 years off you instantly. Who wouldn’t want that?! The truth is that you don’t have to dress up to look stylish and polished, you can keep it casual as long as you find the right pieces in the right sizes.
What Is A Capsule Wardrobe?
Jennifer creates capsule wardrobes which are a collection of pieces that she then creates outfits out of. Her Winter capsule is 34 pieces that create 184 outfits, complete with tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes, jewelry, accessories and more. The trick that Jennifer teaches women is that you can absolutely do more with less and don’t need hundreds or thousands of pieces of clothing in your closet.
Don’t Forget The Finishing Touches
One thing Jennifer says many of us are missing these days is the finishing touches to our outfits. Some great tips Jennifer offers are to remember to wear a belt, add jewelry, roll up your sleeves and pop your collar. Not only do these things finish off an outfit, but they can also create slimming effects on your body which is always a good thing!
Let’s get styled!

TIMESTAMPS
4:35 (34 sec JM) – I believe that we’ve gotten a little bit less narrow-minded about what fashion is and it’s more about style and the fact it, there are just so many more options that are available to us, so when you look at even shopping, I don’t know if you remember this, school shopping as a kid. You did it in August because that’s when you bought your sweater and you wore sweaters to the 1st day of school and you just like were sweating the whole time. That sweater was there in August, got replenished in September and November all the way through the season. There were 4 seasons of fashion. Now there are 12.
18:41 (59 sec JM) – I create capsule wardrobe ebooks. It’s a digital download that shows women how to put together a mix and match wardrobe every season. So I take 34 pieces, we combine them to track I think this is one that’s coming out real soon for winter is like 184 outfits and we show them the tops, the bottoms, the dresses, the shoes, the jewelry, the accessories, everything they need. Then we give people shopping links where to buy them, in spend links, save links, petite and plus and then we show them all the outfit combinations. So you know, let’s say you want to try a really trendy piece for the season, like a leopard midi skirt. I would love to put this in my wardrobe but I have no idea what to do with that. We have a page in the capsule guide that shows you like 20 different ways to style your leopard midi, so I really wanted women to put together every mix and match that’s effortlessly stylish wardrobe, but it turns out stylish is not effortless.
