It is helpful to build your wardrobe around capsules- pieces that all go together and yet look unique when combined differently. Capsules make your life easy because the matches are complete and there aren’t any orphans. Give it a try- I think you will be pleased.

Hi Ann… so happy to hear you are enjoying retirement. The store seems to be doing well but I miss seeing you when I pop in. You leave quite a legacy! I look forward to more from Fashionwise by Ann.
Happy Holidays…

Thank you for your kind comments. I’m glad the store is going well and that you have been checking in. Take good care of yourself and enjoy a wonderful Christmas season.
I always like your ideas… In this case capsule wardrobes… catch is I have a ton of stuff but they don’t seem to mix and match.
I’m going to California for Xmas and want to travel in carryon bag …. Bit it’s freezing in Santa Cruz so I need some heavy fleece pieces…and some new and old jeans ( tske kids to the beach)….
Aargh … there goes my suitcase and me wearing the same thing every day.
And to think I used to be a flight attendant and travelled all the time….
Good hearing from you!!

Thank you, Joan. Just think layers. I don’t think you will need a fleece if you have your cashmere sweaters and scarves. You can do it!
Ann,
I love receiving your fashionwise emails. Always food for thought for this old gal.
Thanks so much for keeping me up to date on what’s going on and giving me ideas for the future.

Thank you so much, my friend.
I, too, love getting your ideas and it motivates me to get rid of things in my closet. I’m excited about that.
I loved your shop but am too small for 90% of the clothes and that’s a huge problem. When I can find petites, they are so boxy they only make me look shorter and shapeless. Juniors fit but are not age appropriate.
Any help in this area?

So sorry for the delay in response, but try The Loft or Ann Taylor. They have some nice small sizes.
