I talk a lot about wardrobe heroes on Mademoiselle, and I figured it was about time that I dedicate a little series on the subject matter, particularly given that they comprise such a huge part of my closet. The first item in the ‘wardrobe heroes’ series that I wanted to focus on are polka dots. Mostly because I got spotty for anything dotty, that I couldn’t narrow it down to just one piece. Wearing c/o JAG polka dot mini dress (this is also cute!), MVN faux leather jacket (also love this one), Jo Mercer buckle boots, Chanel chevron boy bag…
Classic wardrobe staples underpin the foundation of many of my outfits; while I probably add more to my wardrobe than most, I try to add a little bit of intent behind new addition. But, basic can sometimes get a little boring. To mix things up, I like to look for items that are an elevated take on a classic. When it comes to denim, I look for little details like a frayed hem or some subtle distressing; for shoes, I love a low cut vamp that reveals a little bit of toe cleavage; and for tops, a fanciful ruffle goes…
If I learnt anything during our recent move, it’s that my wardrobe is bursting at the seams… just a little.

While I’ve learnt that shopping to mask periods of stress and insecurity doesn’t do my wallet or my closet any favours, it has helped me to more clearly define what I do and what I don’t like, while having the added benefit of seeing me broaden the colour spectrum of my closet,…
My favourite kind of wardrobe additions are the ones that I find myself wanting to reach for straight away, regardless of the season. This little navy midi length skirt with a peplum hem fell straight into that category, and even though the recent forecast has been pretty miserable – think 15 deg C and rainy – it felt like the kind of piece that could transition well into my winter wardrobe, despite the fact that it’s actually a summer style.
