Fall Wardrobes and Making Your Closet Like a Boutique

October 1, 2014 By kimwheeler 30 Comments

Lovely October is here and it’s feeling little cooler here in Northern California!!  I have actually begun thinking about fall clothing and shopping.
I have a weakness for tweed jackets and distressed jeans and this combo at J.Crew got me excited! I bought both since they were my style and I know I’ll wear them for years. Jacket is no longer online, but you can catch it in stores on sale now I believe.
These necklaces were lovely and on sale. 

I am also crazy about these these D’Orsay suede flats in this grey taupe.  I could see them going with almost everything and dressed up or down. I’m hoping to add them to my fall shoes this year.

However, I swore to not add a single thing until I went through the old closet. That means trying on pants, skirts, and everything again. Looking over what was worn or not in the past year, seeing what  could be revived, and also pitching what was just done. Ugh a lot of work, but so worth doing. This prevents you from buying the same things again you already have and helps you find what you may have forgotten about!

After purging and making a list of what I could add, I purposely rearranged the closet to seem more like a boutique.

First, you’ll notice this closet TINY. It’s not a big walk-in like most Californians have. When we moved closer to town, we gave up our big master bedroom for this older ranch home and now have a small master. This closer was nicely done with a organizer, so I made it work and downsized what I owned which was actually a good thing.

Now I try to treat it like a small jewel box and have all my prettiest things out where I can see them and wear them. I added a few photos, jewelry, some good smelling lavender sachets from France and even a fun rug. You can do the same and it will inspire you to keep the closet neater as well.

On top I have my blouses, which are some of my best pieces (yes I do like prints), and those are all on wood hangers. I try to organize by tones- navy, blues, pinks, blacks, browns and warmer colors. It’s nice having your newest pieces out in front so you will see them.

Right now I have just put away many of my sandals and have my fall and winter shoes out.

I used some of my birthday money to buy this amazingly soft sweater and Toile sweatpants. I put them out on a shelf, so I can see them and think about ways to wear them.

Being a Californian, jeans are what I wear the most and they take up less space folded. I have two stacks- light and dark. This little bowl with a few green bracelets reminds me to wear them and the dog holds some of my other favorite pieces. I always love the pretty bowls Anthro has for bracelets and odd bits.

Then I have fall dresses and sweaters and jackets.

This bottom row hold casual tops like denim, button-ups and Ts.

A little tray is a nice touch to hold special pieces you wear daily. I LOVE this Liberty hankie from my friend Jeanne and it makes me happy to see it there.

Other shelves hold my lace tops that are too old and fragile to hang, more handbags (I keep them forever) and my treasured Panama hat from Montecristi Hat Company. I did find this fun Garcons-Filles sweater at Madewell on sale. Super cute and soft.

Coats and Jackets are up higher and in front now that it’s getting cooler.

It looks like I have a lot of clothes, but I honestly have a lot I have saved over the years. I try my best to buy quality things and love nothing better than taking old pieces out and wearing them in new ways. Some of my things are 30 years old! I keep though only things I do wear. If I don’t wear it, it goes no matter how nice it is, or how much it cost originally. I just don’t want an archive, nor do I have the space.

I still had a a plethora of scarves collected over many years as well as jewelry and so I decided to use our armoire that previously held a television. It also has had incarnations as a chest for my linens.

I added a small cork board to the back to make an inspiration board for the season. I thought it might be fun to see and get ideas when getting dressed. I tore some of my favorites I saved.

Hmm, looking at this I’m all over the place, but basically I was going for a hippie bohemian feel with a little Ralph Lauren thrown in. That sounds contradictory, but what can I say? It’s me and I’m eclectic?  😀

Scarves I folded on the top by color. I used some of my favorite trays from around the house to put the things I’m wearing currently and that work for fall. I also put a Volcano candle from Anthropologie in there. The smell is divine and you needn’t ever light it. A few of my favorite clutches I added as well.

I used an old glass pedestal dish for my wood and leather pieces. That turtle I treasure. I bought it on the street in Fiji almost 20 years ago and wear it on a cord.

I’m also wearing a lot of bangles in gold right now. There’s a very old Dior piece, Alex and Ani bangles from a dear friend, and collected bits from here and there.  These earrings were also a gift and my favorites as well as the tennis pendant, Harlow star necklace and the gold J. Crew necklace -a recent find on sale here. I thought the warm chestnut color of the alternating stones would be a good compliment to my new jacket and other autumn shades.

This old silver candy dish of my grandmother’s holds my silver bits. In here is a glass cameo from another grandmother that I treasure. I like the tarnish on this dish and do not polish it.
Scarves are so addicting!! I need to see what I have so I do not buy more!

This little carved dog was found at my grandmother’s house as a little girl. I believe it’s from a trip to Japan that my grandfather took. As a child it was my Barbie’s dog. I love having it around for sentimental reasons so stuck in in my armoire. Adding bits like this make it a joyful and personal space.

It takes some time to make your closet pretty, but once you start treating it like a boutique you will look forward to shopping your closet each morning. Some people even have the space to paper their walls and add chandeliers! How lovely would that be?

One thing that I did not mention is that my husband does not occupy this space. When I saw how tiny this was, I kicked him out to another closet in our spare room and he was kind enough to acquiesce. If your are able to do so, it’s nice to have your own little world in some part of the home. I live with three men, so this is my little luxury since they take over the rest of the home!

I know Jenna Lyons and many others even have turned rooms into closets…(Hey a good thing about empty nesting?!)  Pottery Barn knew this and now sells the goods to create such a fabulous space! Ahh, a girl can dream!!

With wardrobes in mind, I’ve gotta share my latest read,  I’ll Drink to That, a wonderful bio of 86 year old Betty Halbreich, Bergdorf Goodmans’ personal shopper for 40 years. It takes you from her meticulous childhood closets filled with stacks of ribbon tied, fresh white nightgowns, to her life’s therapy -creating wardrobes for the famous and often crazy clients. Loads of fun and it gets you thinking about clothing and how what you choose to wear changes your outlook on life and so much else.

Wardrobe thoughts?? Any strategies you use to organize your closet for seasons?

I hope this inspires you a little to create a pretty and inspiring environment for your wardrobe!

    I just read Betty's book. She's a kick If only I had the space to see all of my gems like you do, my life would be easier. I share my closet with DH and have coats in the front closet and special occasion and off season in a hall closet. The next remodel project is for a walk in and master bath-I can't wait.

    Julie, Closets are tough. I have moved things around here about a million times. My coats are separate too and we have a lot of chests holding out of season items. I did use a chest in my entry to hold scarves, hats and gloves that worked well. Love to see your project. Very exciting! Glad you like Betty's book too!

    I finally got a small walk in and I love it although it is still to small to cater for everything. I just have to edit better I suppose but having things on display makes me use things more and small closets for me tend to be an oversight bc I end up wearing the same things over and over again. Love seeing your little trinkets like that japanese doggie. I bought a sliding shallow drawer by the way from IKEA which is brillinat to store your scarves so they don't get tangled up and I love it and it has made me love IKEA again! 🙂

    Kim I love your closet and this post! I've already pinned your closet to my Frock Philosophy board!
    Part of my renovation involves a new closet in my bedroom, my husband's things are moving out to the hallway closet, which was actually his request as he often dresses early in the morning, and our room is so tiny. I have had most of my clothes in a storage closet in my son's old room but I'm looking forward to having more of my things in my bedroom…you've given me loads of inspiration for my new closet! I've been thinking about wallpapering it with something feminine and toile-y before the new system is installed by California Closets, I think you have tipped me over the edge…I'm going to order it this weekend.
    Thanks Kim, love your fabulous style 🙂

    FAB!!!

    Naomi, I am trying not to do the same and that's why I'm hoping having things out will make me wear them more. I am going to go on the IKEA site and look for that drawer. Sounds like a great idea for scarves, belts and other small items!

  10. kim at northerncalstyle. says

    Dani, Thank you! I feel honored since you have the best wardrobe and clothing ideas I know. I bet you'll have a lovely closet and I hope you do the toile paper!! I'm looking forward to seeing it! So exciting!

    Love how you set this up .. really looks like a wonderful shop! I live in San Diego in a smaller home and there is no walk in closet .. the closet is alone a wall and has three slidding mirrored doors .. would LOVE a walking in or better yet .. a closet ROOM. One can only dream.

    I love that jacket, I spotted it on another blog today.
    I can't think of anything I want buy, clothes just seem to be passing me by just now.
    Oh and it's so true, if you don't see things they are just never worn, I have a dark hole of a drawer – who know what's lurking in there,

  17. Cindy Hattersley says

    October 6, 2014 at 5:52 pm

    Will you come do my closet? Which jacket is that? Is it the Regency? Would love to hear how it fits. I have had my eye on that one but can't seem to make it into the stores.

    Kim, this is a wonderful post, you have such fun taste and style! I have no style sense whatsoever, but I do love to look at beautiful things and live vicariously through you and your lovely friend at "The Rich Life…". I love how you use antique and vintage items in your closet and cherish those items with sentimental value. I will have to check out your book suggestion. Have you seen the documentary "Scatter my ashes at Bergdorf's"? If you have Netflix, you can stream it.

    You just completely inspired me to re-do my closet for fall and winter because I still have way too many neon tanks hanging in there I'll never wear until next summer. I love the TOMS peaking out from the shelf and the first pictures with the distressed jeans and tweed jacket would look so good together! 🙂 If you're doing any shopping Thanksgiving week in SF, let me know and let's meet for coffee.

    Thanks Leigh! Too bad your not closer.. We could swap a few items!

    October 9, 2014 at 5:18 am

    Monica, I had one of those slider closet once too. This house had a few and we replaced with louvered doors. Much easier to see what you've got! The closet room… Now that would be nice! Thanks for stopping by and your note!

  23. kim at northerncalstyle. says

    October 9, 2014 at 5:23 am

    It's true that's why I had to try to display some things. If they are in a drawer you never use them. Right in front of me, I use them! Also inspires me to see the bracelets near the blouses, etc…I love the jacket too. Now just hoping for cool weather here so I can wear it with some pretty boots.

  24. kim at northerncalstyle. says

    October 9, 2014 at 5:24 am

    Cindy, It's called a Boyfriend Jacket from J. Crew. Cannot find it online anymore, but a reader just sent me a photo yesterday with it on. It's still in stores and on sale plus additional 40% or something on weekends! Make haste!

  25. kim at northerncalstyle. says

    October 9, 2014 at 5:32 am

    Kelley,
    You are nice to say that. I don't know much, but have fun with this stuff. I have been wanting to see the Bergdorf docu and thank a ton for telling me it's on Netflix!! I'm so watching it! I went there once on a trip to NYC in my 20s. I'll never forget what a beautiful place it was. I bought my mom a lovely souvenir from the kitchen area. I'll get back one day! Hope all is good with you Kel! xo

  26. kim at northerncalstyle. says

    October 9, 2014 at 5:35 am

    Dale, Thanks so much! I know what you mean. Just folded all those tanks and stored them too. I took the photo of the jeans and jacket in the J Crew store. I was lucky to get both on sale. Just something about the two together I loved also! I will see if I can get up to SF at that time! Love to see you! xx

    Not only have you organised your closet and gorgeous armoire so well but you have added a few personal touches too such as the silver candy dish and little dog. Your two statement necklaces from J Crew are fabulous and the grey shoes so useful. I'm having a grey moment! I find it so much easier to group colours together
    as it's quicker to put an outfit together.
    Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments. I always appreciate you taking the time to pop over to my blog!

It’s the weekend post time again with Elizabeth It’s the weekend post time again with Elizabeth and Juliet. 🧡 

This  weekend I shared how I spiffed up the front with a few mums from the local Ace and Trader Joe’s .. Happily, these baskets I bought last year at Target are still looking good, and are available again. I link to them on the blog. 
My wreath of petrified leaves bought last fall at my local @buncheslg florist seems to have survived the garage pretty well. ( Miraculously!) 

I love these multicolored mums from Trader Joe’s. I missed them last year and they go fast!

Other fun things on the blog are an inspiring home book, some great pant options for fall, and a few cottages in Carmel that are for sale!

I don’t know where I saved this from, possibly P I don’t know where I saved this from, possibly Pinterest, but I’ve had it forever.  I need to remind myself this quite often! 

Our mindset is everything and I was inadvertently raised to worry about things. My mom was one of 8 kids and her mother warned them about the dangers of everything to keep them all alive in her mind.  I think that was seeped in my dear mom’s bones and passed onto us.. by no fault of hers. 

My brain defaults to that and I have worked hard to stop that sort of internal monologue. 

Remember worrying never kept anyone safer. We don’t care more about someone by being a worrier. We just need to expect good things will happen. 

Being a person who is always worrying is not good for those around you either. It hurts your family and their own feelings of security. The more I realize this, the more I feel the need to reassure, not stress and trust all will work out… and might even be fantastic!

Hope you all have a Happy Friday - and trust things will work out! 

I’ll be back tomorrow with the weekend post!

If you missed the weekend posts with Juliet and El If you missed the weekend posts with Juliet and Elizabeth, I shared this pretty Newport Beach Home by the talented @caseyhillstudio in @fredericmagazine photos @lauraresenphotography 💕 

The Chanel slingback is also the ‘it’ shoe of the season and so versatile.. I share the original, resale options, and some very chic copies..at a lower price point.. My favorite Vuori jacket is also back and in new colors.. and lastly the fab J.Crew at 40 book I am coveting.

This is my second go at posting a Reel on the weekend meander.. The first was taken down, for unknown reasons?  So let’s hope this works!

I have this quote in my closet! It is smart to re I have this quote in my closet!  It is smart to remember we may already have what we think we need to look great.

Right now the season is changing and I - like everybody else, am super excited for fall clothes, adding new things to my closet, and refreshing my look. 

Hold off though. Before we buy anything or get ‘influenced’ from people like myself, we have to first look at what we have. 

I am constantly reminded that the best dressed people have less clothes and wear great pieces on repeat! 

Get in your closet and you may see you already have that perfect fall sweater or the ballet flat that’s everywhere!! The truth is your pieces may be cooler than the new offerings that are out there- and no one else will have them. 

Make this a goal to go to your closet before you buy for fall and I promise you’ll shop smarter  and get what you really love and need.

Have a beautiful Friday!! Here’s to sweater days soon. 🍂

I haven’t posted many house photos lately. I jus I haven’t posted many house photos lately. I just realized yesterday how very much I’m enjoying being at home especially now windows wide-open and the beautiful weather. We couldn’t be more lucky here in California when the weather is as it is now. 🧡

My tomatoes finally turned red and my new fig plant that I added to the front yard in spring already has figs on it!  Marlo is enjoying the sunshine and fresh air too. She’s nearly 18 years old. 

Nothing better than this late summer early fall…Still the goodies of summer and the promise of fun things in fall without all the heat.

If you didn’t read my weekend post there’s a  wonderful inspiring story I shared about getting together with your neighbors and creating small micro neighborhoods…. and how the French love this time of year for socializing again too.. Lots to look forward to! 

Have a beautiful day.

It’s that fun time when I get to talk style with It’s that fun time when I get to talk style with the fabulous Cindy and since it’s September, we are sharing our Fall Wish Lists!  Are you ready for the change of season?? I can’t wait!

I had so much fun pulling this together. I sort of had to edit myself because there’s many cool new things out there, but we just have to find the right pieces that will make what we already have work and look updated and chic.. We have to be editors! I am just giving you some ideas. 

The best part about fashion right now is there really are no rules and we just had to find what works for us and our lifestyle and our bodies! 

Pop on by the blog, and I’ll share some of the trends like longer fuller pants, suit looks, those darling Chanel style jackets, and other pretty pieces. 

Cindy as always has some beautiful ways to mix it all and create your own look.

I am also chatting about the new movement to connect with your neighborhood and create smaller communities -and ideas on how to do it! 

Fall is a perfect time for this and in France it’s called la rentrée and it means the start of a new exciting season of getting back together with others after summer.

What do you do when it’s rainy and cool in Tahoe What do you do when it’s rainy and cool in Tahoe? Well someone asked me today and  actually there is a lot to do and it’s one of the best times to go! 

Last weekend it was a cool 48 degrees and it felt like November even though it was Labor Day weekend. We enjoyed some sun and breezes so being layers!

You can pack a lot in the two days with great hikes and walks..and food!  Two good hikes- one at Ward Creek, another at Sugar Pine Point.. are perfect for now! Have some lunch by the river @riverranchlodge, take a walk on the lake and a drive on 89, end it by playing games and have a cozy dinner in with pot pies from Tahoe House bakery. ( SO good!) 

Tahoe when it’s shoulder season is the best kept secret. Though normally Labor Day would be hot here. Make some plans to enjoy the fall here! 🍂

Here’s to an early fall! I added a few autumn touches to our tiny cabin while I was there..

Yes I snapped that 🐻 bear! He was crossing the road. This is their season to bulk up so you leave no food in your cars..

I can’t let this date go by without a tribute to I can’t let this date go by without a tribute to Princess Diana, my original style idol.  I recently found this book my dear mother bought me way back in the 80’s. Tucked inside was this torn page from American @vogue about this new girl’s style….Oh if they only knew what this young woman would be to the world. …

She was so much more than what she wore. She was a real life princess in her heart as well as title- touching so many lives. Who didn’t she care about or show kindness towards? She had it in her heart and that radiated in her face. 

These are a few photos that are my favorites and a few that show her fun personality that always shines through.. 🩷 Of course everything she wore is back in style again like this vest - the caps, the blazers, and floral prints. 

This day makes me hugely sad. 
If it wasn’t for the nasty British press ( who are still horrific), and paparazzi she would be here.
