I have wished in the past that I had a guide to shoes so that I could easily choose which to wear with my outfits. Over time, I’ve accumulated a list of ideas to make it easy…Because a girl has to have the just the right finishing touch, even with a basic everyday look! Shoes are an accessory you can’t go without very often. 🙂 And they make a big impact.
There are some creative combinations below that you may want to try. On the other hand, this is by no means a comprehensive list. Nevertheless, there are so many options here that there’s a good chance they will be helpful to you.
Feel free to print out this listing and keep it in a handy place to refer to when you need inspiration!

Last weekend, I went to Las Vegas with my sister to soak up the sun poolside. Usually, by November the weather cools down in Las Vegas and they start calling it their winter season. However, it was already starting to cool the last week of October. Instead of temperatures in the 80’s Fahrenheit, they dipped into the 60’s. Doesn’t it seem to happen that the weather turns unfavorable right when you travel someplace?! It was 80 again the day after we got back. In the end, we even enjoyed the pool on 68 degree days because there was sun and no wind on deck.
It ended up that I only needed to wear the warmer clothes I packed. I brought mostly sandals and lightweight clothing and didn’t end up wearing them. After returning home, I surveyed what I actually wore out of my overpacked bags. It boils down to a capsule wardrobe that works for four days in between seasons in Las Vegas. And age doesn’t matter when you use my packing list.
So what do you really need to pack for a trip to Las Vegas?

What do you absolutely need for the perfect fall and winter wardrobe? Herein is a checklist for what you need to create outfits for every occasion during the cool seasons. Age doesn’t matter because all of these items are classic and basic pieces. They will go with everything else you own to make a complete seasonal wardrobe that works.
(For a Spring and Summer checklist, see my post on how to make more outfits out of what you have HERE.)
Maybe you already have all or most of these essentials. If not, use this list to fill in gaps in your cool-weather wardrobe or upgrade things that are wearing out (or wearing out their welcome).
I’m not one for paring my clothes down into a capsule wardrobe because I love to have options for creating something a little different every day. But I do believe in having all the basics you’ll need to provide the main structure for a wide array of outfit possibilities.
If you have all the necessities, you won’t ever have to feel like you don’t have anything to wear!
