We Love The 15 Dollar Store!

Check out the $15 Dollar Store.  Yes, everything is $15 dollars on this site.  Really great deals.  The only challenge is that they do not take any returns at all.  So be sure you know your size and style.  I can’t purchase pants from here because I never know my size, but tops and shoes I can!  Check out the deals on this site.

How to Update our Wardrobe – The Right Way!

Okay let’s get a grip on updating our wardrobes. If you have built your Basic Classic Wardrobe (BCW) you are ready to update your look.  If you have not built your Basic Classic Wardrobe I strongly suggest you get our Book and build it.

The Achivable Fashion Basic Classic Wardrobe consists of the essential wardrobe pieces every closet must have in order to function. Without a BCW you have the dreaded closet full of clothes and nothing to wear.  The closet full of clothes and nothing to wear always leads to frustration! We start with the dressing aerobics – you know how it goes – pants on, pants off, another pair on, another pair off, then comes the sweat, aggravation, then comes pulling your hair out –  and the grand finale, in desperation, in the middle of the closet, we scream, “WHY do I have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear!!!”

Back to updating your wardrobe. For kicks and giggles let’s say you have built your BCW. It’s time for wardrobe updating. In order to maximize your wardrobe the items you purchase should work well together.  Often we make the mistake of purchasing trend items without regard for how they will work    together.

An orange fuzzy sweater does not blend well with purple plaid bottoms; and neither work with a blue hounds tooth scarf. Yet when shopping this is how many us make purchases. (No wonder our closets end up looking like a thrift store gone wrong!)

 

 

 

                                        

 

              

3 current fashion trends right now are – plaid, snakeskin and loafer pumps. See the examples above. The first row is how not to purchase current trends. Yes, they are the correct trends, but can you wear any of them together? No. So if we purchase the first 3 items we will have the correct trends in our closet but we will not get the most mileage from them.   Now look at the second row.  They are also the correct current trends; however they do work well together so we will get maximum mileage! (Visit Runway to Real Life for more examples)

Maximum mileage comes from selecting items that work well together.  Notice how purchasing 3 items can multiply your wardrobe when done correctly.  We have selected a pair of wide leg trousers, a snakeskin scarf and loafer pumps to update with.  Because we selected items that work well together we get lots of new looks with only a few pieces. Armed with the Achievable Fashion Basic Classic Wardrobe updating your look seasonally is a snap! The AF logo is next to our BCW pieces.

Here are 3 of our Looks- Busiess, Party,  and Casual Fun – updated with just 3 new  items. A snakeskin scarf, a pair of wide leg pants and a pair of loafers with heels gets tons of mileage when added to the right base!

This designer line is a bit pricey but worth every  cent.  They have gorgeous trendy items  along with great basic classic pieces.
This line is for anyone who isn’t afraid to invest in great pieces.

As and Achievable Fashion lady I know spending a lot on  clothing isn’t always possible – in fact the very reason I created Achievable
Fashion was because I was sick of spending tons of money on clothes  only to be left with “ A Closet Full of Clothes and Nothing to Wear!”

Once I built my Basic Classic Wardrobe (Outlined in out book) I mastered my closet and stopped wasting oodles of money on clothes I
would never wear. Now I am able to invest a bit more for pieces I will wear  over and over!

If you are still faced with the dreadful closet full of clothes and nothing to wear I suggest you get our book and start to fix that
mess you call a closet. I promise, you will love your closet!

 

If you are ready to invest in some great pieces check out  these clothes and contact  Melissa to find out how you can get
your hands on these fabulous pieces! Want to sell these beautiful clothes ask Melissa how to get started!

Mix Prints / Patterns Like a Fashion Expert!

    

Mixing multiple prints is a current fashion trend. But unless you are a fashion expert can you do this without looking like you got dressed in the dark? When I decided to put together a website that would bring effortless fashion to real women, my mission was to find and report information that would help us busy ladies on our fashion journey – information that would allow us to be fashion forward with minimal time and investment.

The current fashion trend – mixing different prints together – is tricky business.  I searched to find information that would help you and I steer clear of looking like a hot mess when wearing more than one print at a time. What I discovered is that there are some basic rules to follow.  I found a great blog that highlights 8 rules to follow when mixing multiple prints. Follow these rules and you are sure to look like you walked off the runway – instead of looking like you got dressed in the dark! Have fun mixing prints like a current fashion trend expert!
