How to Mix Patterns & Textures for Chic Winter Dressing | Ten-Item Capsule Wardrobe



I'm using my outfit as a case-study for how to mix pattern and texture in an elegant way.



I love to mix patterns in the same color family to create a subtle interest in an outfit. I also mix the various textures of suede, leather, and wool in today's outfit.

Featured in the video:
basket weave dot dress (similar)
cropped black twist tee
fleece-lined tights
riding boots (similar)
plaid coat (similar)
aviator sunglasses (linking similar here)
Louis Vuitton handbag (I am listing various satchels from Nordstrom here)
My phone case is Casetify

Also mentioned
Thursday Boot Captain boot
faux fur scarf



I start with a layering look that is a favorite of mine: cropped tee (or sweater) over a dress. This gives the impression of wearing an elegant skirt without the awkward cut-off at the waist. The riding boots add a nice height to the outfit.



Adding my favorite plaid coat brings a new pattern and texture dynamic to the outfit beautifully.



The final addition of accessories with sunglasses and printed handbag, round out the outfit.



I encourage you to take inspiration from historical periods and literature. I love the Victorian Era as well as Sherlock Holmes. Those two combinations are the inspiration for today's look.

I hope you enjoy today's video.

#bookreview "Madam Chic: Rất thần thái, rất Paris" _ Jennifer L Scott. Cuốn sách thứ 3 của tác giả Jennifer L Scott viết về những bài học về sự thanh lịch cô học được từ Madam Chic sau 1 năm ở Paris. Nói về cuốn sách đầu tiên "20 bí mật sành điệu của Madam Chic", cuốn sách khiến mình mê mẩn năm 2018 với vô số những bài học hữu ích và cách viết rất gần gũi, cuốn hút. Mình giới thiệu cho các bạn mình đọc và bạn nào cũng thích mê. Đến cuốn sách thứ 2 "At home with Madam Chic - Thanh lịch từ những khoảnh khắc đời thường" vẫn hay nhưng không bắng cuốn 1, và đến cuốn thứ 3 này thì mình cảm giác tác giả viết hơi lặp lại so với 2 cuốn trước. Tuy nhiên, đây vẫn là cuốn sách đáng đọc của các "quý cô" để trở nên thanh lịch và thần thái. Mình thích những bài học mà tác giả đem lại. Bình thường, các cuốn sách về phong cách khác tiếp cận chỉ về phương diện thời trang, lối sống tối giản, còn Jennifer L Scott đưa ra một vấn đền hoàn thiện và toàn diện hơn. "Thần thái bao hàm nhiều thứ hơn vẻ ngoài chỉn chu và cách hành xử đúng mực. Nó còn là cách ta trau dồi chiều sâu của tính cách, thứ đến từ việc giữ cho tâm trí sắc bén, hãnh diện trong mọi việc ta làm và giúp đỡ người khác. Cam kết phát triển bản thân một cách sâu sắc hơn, trải nghiệm mỗi ngày của chúng ta cũng sẽ ý nghĩa hơn." Và đặc biệt thanh lịch và thần thái không chỉ khi bạn xuất hiện trước ai đó mà ngay cả khi bạn ở một mình, khi đi ngủ, ngay cả khi bạn thấy mệt mỏi và chán nản trước những tình huống khó khăn. Đó là điều quan trọng bởi bạn trở nên tốt đẹp hơn vì chính bạn chứ không phải "biểu diễn cho ai đó xem". Thần thái cũng là sự bình tâm, sự lựa chọn những bình yên và không hạ thấp mình. Năm mới thần thái thì rất là tuyết vời. Cám ơn @bloombooks_camhungsong đã mang Madam Chic về Việt Nam. #booklover #books #bookstagramvn #bookstagram #madamchic #jenniferlscott #bookish #newyear #newbook

Comment of the Week
Earlier this week, I published a blogpost explaining the frustrating ad situation on my blog. Google has placed "auto ads" on my website, which is why you sometimes see so many banner ads. I have since disabled auto-ads, but some of the ads are still popping up. It is a mystery to me!

Heather wrote, "I'm impressed with your integrity that you even care what the reader view looks like. When I click through to other blog posts, usually for a recipe I found on Pinterest, it is obvious that there are a LOT of bloggers who do not care that the reader view is downright unpleasant."

Thank you very much, Heather. Your experience as a reader does mean a lot to me and I appreciate your comment.

I would love to know how you like to mix color and texture in the wintertime. Share your tips and observations with us and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week.

Capsule Wardrobe Winter Dressing | Observations on English Style




Happy new year! I am so excited for 2020 and everything that is to come on The Daily Connoisseur. Thank you for your support of my books, blog, and YouTube channel. You make this community beautiful and vibrant and I am very thankful for you.

In today's video I'm sharing my cold-weather dressing experience with my ten-item capsule wardrobe as well as giving thought on English style observations.



Living in Southern California, with its warm climate year-round, presented a challenge to me as I packed my ten-item wardrobe for winter in England. The first ten days we were here were cold, muddy, and rainy. It has since become rather mild and chilly and has stopped raining.

I have found my capsule wardrobe to perform very well in this weather. The key to dressing my California wardrobe for England has been in layering and fleece tights. I find the pairing of fleece tights with boots and a dress warmer than jeans.

My faux fur infinity scarf (linking a similar one) has kept me very warm as well.

I love packing a capsule wardrobe when I travel. If you have been hesitant to try a capsule wardrobe, just try packing less than you normally would for a trip and see how it works for you. I love the creativity that is employed when dressing each day for both style and practicality.

Today's video also discusses my observations on English ladies' style. I have noticed a lot of parka coats here. They are practical as well as stylish. I am listing some parka options here from Michael Kors, Cole Haan, Eddie Bauer, Sam Edelman.

What I'm wearing in today's video: floral dress (similar), black cardigan (similar), Pearl Earrings by Ana Luisa Jewelry code Jennifer10 gives $10 off.

Comment of the Week
On Facebook, Emily M. writes, "Jennifer, I hope you have a chuckle from this - I'm 2 days from my due date with my 3rd baby, and I've been pretty moody just from the waiting and prodromal labor. Earlier today my husband said "You should sit on the couch with a cup of something warm, put on the diffuser and listen to something interesting. Does Jennifer Scott have a new video? I'll bet she's put out a new fashion video you could watch!" And he was right 😂"


Emily, this was so funny! I am praying for a safe delivery of baby. Happy new year to you and your family. Your husband is a wise man! :)

Comment of the Week
Kym M. writes, "As eclectic Charlotte Mason homeschoolers we have been doing a sort of chic assignment for years. We have a poet, artist, and composer of the month. We study a Shakespeare play each quarter and we read a lot of classics."

Kym, I love this! We do something similar. And parents do not have to homeschool to do this with their children... they can enjoy this type of enrichment any time with their family... that's the wonderful thing.

Thank you for joining me for this outfits of the week edition. I hope you have a happy new year celebration! Let me know how your Christmas was in the comments below.

With love,

Jennifer

Ten-Item Wardrobe Winter Updates + Packing For England



I'm sharing ten-item winter wardrobe updates in today's video as well as packing for an upcoming trip to England. I'm trying to pack minimally while still preparing for the extreme change in weather.



As we move into another change in season it's time to retire clothing from the prior season and make plans for what's new. For winter, I am retiring the Everlane Japanese picnic dress and the Target Wild Fable dress. These dresses performed really well this past season. I am retiring them due to their fall colors. I will pack them away and look forward to bringing them back next fall.

I have retired two core items and am bringing one back in. I have decided to bring back the LL Bean dot dress as it is very versatile, a dark winter color, and easy to layer for the colder months. Even though this is not the most exciting change, I do feel happy and comfortable with this returning piece. As you do the ten-item wardrobe, you will become content with less.

Now let's talk about packing for England. For a 3 week trip I have decided to bring only five core items: one pair of dark denim jeans (JLS10 for 10% off) and four dresses (LL Bean dress, midnight floral dress (linking similar), Velvet plaid dress, and J.Jill charcoal wrap dress).

These are the extras I am bringing... remember extras compliment your core items:
Two cashmere sweaters (Mott & Bow red cashmere code JLS10 gives 10% off and Everlane camel v-neck cashmere), 3 pairs of pajamas, including the Leimere cashmere pajama , Mersea travel wrap (for the plane), and fleece tights. I am also bringing a faux fur infinity scarf (linking similar here). I would have loved to bring my SKYE Coraline trench (Jennifer20 for 20% off ) because it goes with all of my outfits, but it is too lightweight for the heavy winter weather in England. I will look forward to wearing that trench when I get back to California.

The dress I'm wearing in today's video is by Draper James and the earrings are by Ana Luisa (code Jennifer10 for $10 off).

Comment of the Week
Carolyn M. writes, "The most common comment that I receive if I dress nicely on a regular day is an inquiry as to whether I have returned to working outside of the home. When I mention that I am still an at home mother, I mostly get a look of confusion, like why would a woman dress up if she is a homemaker?"

Hello Carolyn, I loved your comment. Every time you answer that question you plant a seed in someone's mind about the importance of dressing well daily, regardless of what you are doing. You are bringing dignity to your home life! Thank you.

I hope you enjoyed today's ten-item wardrobe video. Share your ten-item wardrobe updates with us and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog. See you soon!

The Biggest Style Critique I Get from My Viewers



I've been sharing my ten-item wardrobe on YouTube for over 8 years now. For the most part, I receive kind comments, even if my style differs from that of the viewer. My intention with sharing my outfits on YouTube is to showcase how a ten-item capsule wardrobe works in real life and also to inspire people to look presentable always.



Every now and then I get a specific critique on the way that I dress. It's pretty much the only critique I get, which sparks my interest. What is behind this critique? And will it change the way I dress going forward? Watch today's video to find out.

My earrings are SKYE Odette 18K gold pearl earrings Jennifer20 for 20% off.

My dress is by Everlane .

Ndërkohë që përktheja “Madame Shik”, herë në mënyrë të natyrshme e herë duke ia imponuar vetes, nisa të vija edhe unë në jetë disa nga këshillat e madamës Shik. Për shembull, në libër është një kapitull shumë interesant për rrëmujën... Kur nisa të përktheja librin, isha si Xheniferi, studentja amerikane, por që pak nga pak po shndërrohem në një madamë Shik. Që kur përktheva atë kapitull, nuk kam ngrënë më në tabaka përpara televizorit. Kam nxjerrë pjatat që ruaja për festa dhe çdo ditë e kam një festë të vogël, me lule të freskëta në tryezë. Përveç këtyre, kam zhdukur nga sirtarët çdo komplet pizhamesh e rrobë shtëpie jo të denjë, bashkë me shumë rrangullina, sende që kisha vite që nuk i përdorja; gjëra që merrnin pluhur, bënin rrëmujë dhe nuk më linin t’i gëzohesha një shtëpie të pastër, ku gjithçka duhet të jetë në vendin e vet. Kam mësuar të bëj tualetin ujë e sapun dhe çdo herë që gjendem përpara dollapit duke menduar “ç’të vesh sot?”, dora më kap gjithmonë një fustan të mirë, nga ata që kisha vite që i mbaja në varëse dhe i ruaja për ndonjë rast. Madama Shik më mësoi se nuk kam pse pres, rast i mirë është çdo ditë Foto 📸 @henrikoci.com_ #keshillangamadamechic #madamechic #botimetliving #jetobukurjetomeliving #dailyconnoisseur #jenniferlscott

Comment of the Week
Nancy F. gives us an update on The Chic Assignment in her household: "I have never heard of Caspar David Frederich. However his works are so touching and hauntingly beautiful. I personally fell in love with the one called the morning. Also I have not been able to stop staring at the one called the Abbey in the Oakwood. Now the Bach piece that you featured is one that I have listen to many times over and have decided to re-fall in love with it. One thing that I will definitely be making homemade from scratch is my homemade hot cocoa peppermint meringue cookies that my fiancé and future mother-in-law love. I have definitely changed up my seasonal skin care. The main thing I have changed is I have went to a thicker facial moisturizer that is by ponds. I’m using more luxurious thick creams to combat my dry skin"

Thank you for sharing your findings, Nancy! I look forward to the check-in so we can discuss the assignments more.

Thank you for joining me today. Are you ever criticized for the way you dress? What are the chief complaints you deal with and how do you handle them? Let us know and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on The Daily Connoisseur.

Outfits of the Week + New Charm Bracelet



I'm sharing another week of outfits from my fall ten-item capsule wardrobe in today's video. It was an odd week, with each day at nearly 90 degrees F! I'm sorry I am not showing you boots and coats but the weather here is not there yet. I'll make up for it when we travel to England this winter...



I'm also exploring the world of charm bracelets today. I have always loved the look of charm bracelets and love the tinkling sound they make even more. I chose the components of this bracelet from Jeulia Jewelry (code JENNIFERAV15 gives 15% off).


The bracelet is composed of the basic bangle sterling silver bracelet, starry night safety chain, and heart with blue stone charm. Their sterling silver bracelets are delightful!


Here are the outfits for this week:


On Sunday I'm wearing the J.Jill charcoal wrap dress with a braided headband and navy ballet flats (linking similar). On my nails: Vendetta by Londontown (code JenniferS gives 25% off first-time orders) and my phone case is Casetify


On Monday I'm wearing the Everlane Japanese picnic dress over a half-tee with my nude patent sandals and Ana Luisa earrings (code Jennifer10 gives $10 off first-time orders)



On Tuesday I'm wearing the Zara tunic dress (linking similar) with black leggings and a velvet scrunchie.


On Wednesday I'm wearing the Burgundy floral dress with a navy cardigan, navy bow sandals (similar), and Ana Luisa earrings


On a blustery Thursday I'm wearing Cream v-neck cashmere sweater code JLS10, black cropped jeans code JLS10 for 10% off, nude ballet flats, infinity belt


On Friday it's the Midnight floral dress (similar) under a cropped twist black tee for a new layered look. In my hair is the velvet scrunchie.

I hope you enjoy today's video and that it gives you capsule wardrobe inspiration.

Comment of the Week
Kathleen writes, "If we spend one-third of our time sleeping, then a little arithmetic may be in order: spend one-third of your fashion budget on sleepwear. (Not all at once! Over time; and be frugal and wise in your choices.) For fun, set aside a special portion of your closet for these clothes and a special drawer (lined with, say, Crabtree & Evelyn scented paper) so that pajamas and nightgowns are not crammed up against a sea of sweats, and bathrobes are not posted on a hook behind some hidden door. Thanks so much. I may be a surgeon, but I'm a homemaker first. And chic, I hope. I love your channel. Look forward to every post. Doc"

Doc, I loved your comment. I never thought about how much time we spend in our sleepwear. You are so right! Thanks for your great comment.

Outfits & Makeup of the Week | Ten-Item Capsule Wardrobe | A'DEL Natural Cosmetics



I'm chronicling my fall outfits and makeup for the week in today's video. It's still sunny here in Southern California, so I am dressing with fall colors, but still with the weather in mind. I have been thoroughly enjoying my fall wardrobe.



Today's post is sponsored by A'DEL Natural Cosmetics. The owner of A'DEL, Arlene Dohtery, has been a long-time reader of The Daily Connoisseur.

The eyeshadows can be found here. From top left to right: Safari, Dusk, Ferris Wheel, Autumn. Bottom left to right: Brown Sugar, Espresso, Sahara and the cream blush is coral reef.


The lipsticks are cherry pop, memory making, southern belle, and serenade.


The Restore Body Butter is a luxurious body butter that boasts Mango Butter and Camellia Oil which are known for their restorative and regenerative properties. Sweet Thyme brings healing to areas that need a little extra indulgence. This body butter is so luxurious and moisturizing as are the two Blue Lagoon moisturizers. The oil is great to apply when getting out of the bath and I have been enjoying the face balm for its nourishing properties. You can find all of A'DEL skincare here.

Comment of the Week
On Saturday's Meme Review, Donna C writes, "Hi Jennifer. I am a child of the 50’s where we dressed up to “go to town”. But this reminded me of a funny story from my childhood. One time my dad was complaining about how mother looked and how we looked when he came home from work. The next day when he came home from work, mother had me dressed in my Easter dress with hat and gloves and my bother in his little suit and bow tie and sitting at the dinner table and mother was standing at the stove stirring dinner in a strapless evening gown. We all laughed and laughed. I am 71 and still remember that memory all these years later."

Donna, what a great memory. It sounds like you and your family had wonderful times together!
