Stylebook Book Club - Book 7
If you’re looking for a ton of great outfit ideas, then you’re going to love Closet Essentials by Amber McNaught. Now is the time to think about your spring wardrobe and this book is the perfect resource to refresh your closet! Author Amber McNaught shares her ideas on how to style 60 common wardrobe pieces, some of which are probably already in your wardrobe. The best part about this book is that her illustrated outfit ideas are basically perfectly proportioned outfits that can be applied to any style. Even if the example clothes in the book don’t fit your personal style, you can still apply the proportions to your own personal look. For example, a mini skirt and white t-shirt could be gamine, boho, artsy or edgy depending on the pieces you have in your closet.

This spring, before I update my wardrobe, I’m going to take stock of what I have in Stylebook and then I plan to use McNaught’s book as a guide to help me restyle the clothes I already have. This should give me a whole new group of outfits to save for spring! Then I can fill in my wardrobe gaps as needed! It’s the perfect resource for updating your wardrobe in a smart way!

Jess's Take-Away and Discussion
Here are some of the outfits I made from the book.
After reading Amber’s book, I was able to make over 20 new spring outfits with clothes I already had! I love this book’s suggestions because they’re fresh but flexible enough to adapt to my own wardrobe. Before I shop for the season, I’m making it a habit to remix my clothes with style inspiration like this. Shopping my closet is so satisfying and I’m always surprised by how many more outfits I can make with my closet. Sometimes, it just takes a fresh set of eyes to see what I have in a new light. I’m so happy that’ll I’ll be able to save money and get more wears out of what I have. So far this spring I’ve only added two new items, although honestly if I chose not to shop at all this spring, I’d be totally fine!
