I confess I'm a total junkie for 60's movies and today on TV was one of my all time favourites, 'That touch of mink' with Doris Day and Cary Grant. The scene where she goes shopping in Bergdorf Goodman's, beautiful. I know life isn't like this any more and its not practical to expect this kind of life but how about the occasional moment like this one, to be glamorous and relaxed.
To have a wardrobe of clothes that means whatever the situation you are prepared and know within your soul that you look the best you could. Unfortunately without a rich benefactor this isn't going to happen to any of us over night, it takes time and a little work but it is achievable and a realistic goal. It might start with one key piece, which you can use as a bench mark for everything else. For me it was a jacket by Sportmax, which is a less well known diffusion line of Max Mara, the cut is excellent and it improved the look of the quality of the pieces I wore with it. I could then use it as a bench mark when I was trying other items, "do I feel as good in this?" It helped to raise the bar on the items I was prepared to buy, as a result my overall wardrobe improved. If you try something on and don't feel special in it, why would you buy it? A feeling of glamour extends from feeling you are making the best of yourself and this is a choice you should make with every purchase in order to achieve the optimum capsule wardrobe. In this way you will waste a lot less money, and get more value from the clothes you do buy.
