It Just Gets Better and Better!

It’s hard to believe but it’s true! The Closet Outfit Planner just gets better and better each season! As with previous planners, the 2023 Spring/Summer Closet Outfit Planner shows you how to build a full season’s wardrobe with just 27 pieces. Many of the items are already in your closet! The fresh color palettes and outfit inspiration will instantly elevate your style and motivate you to new levels of confidence in planning your outfits for a beautifully curated spring and summer wardrobe.

You’ll find this guide will seamlessly transition your wardrobe from Spring to Summer. It incorporates four colors (two neutrals and two trending shades) that complement your coloring and work together to make fabulous outfits for all your occasions.

Running Errands, Sunday Brunch, Weekend Get-a-Way, Evening Out and Spring Celebrations are the five categories highlighted with six outfit pairings each. We know these seasons are full of activity so we’ve carefully considered the clothes you might need for all kinds of events. We’ve got you covered with expert outfit inspiration that will ensure you feel beautiful and confident no matter what the day brings!

As Memorial Day approaches, you’ll receive an a Summer Collection Lookbook of 12 extra pieces for seasonal inspiration. It will also include one stunning new shade that mixes and matches with the four colors from your Spring collection to ensure your outfits always feel put together and cohesive.

Say no more. Take me to this amazing planner!

The Best Closet Outfit Planner Yet!

This is my favorite planner so far! It’s planned around festive pops and stunning hues, and all the texture and shine that abounds this season in luscious fabrics. Whether in the form of faux leather pants, a shimmering lurex sweater, sequin skirt or blazer, soft knit loungewear, or luxurious velvet blouse — it’s all about texture and touch. You’ll dazzle in touchable style!

The best part is the exciting, new feature: five unique categories of outfits with inspiration for both country and city living! You’re going to love these, too!
Running Errands, Evening Out, Cozy at Home, Travel Ready and Festive Occasion are the five categories highlighted with six outfit pairings each. You may do more city living that requires a certain look and feel, while others do life in the country and need a more relaxed look, so both are included!


No more worrying about what to wear; just copy an outfit and know it’s perfect for the occasion while lounging at home or heading out to celebrate with friends and family. It’s so easy! Enjoy the beauty of the season and look spectacular while doing so!

Is Color Really Important?

Color is an amazing thing. It moves us in art, brings us joy in a garden, gives comfort in our homes. Color makes an impact in your wardrobe, too. Some colors will detract from your beauty making you look tired, aged, or lackluster. Your best colors will enhance your beauty making you look fresh, healthy, and vivacious.

The first and probably the most important step in looking your best is getting a Personal Color Assessment. A consultant will determine your Color Code so you know which colors that will best highlight your beauty.

There are several personal color assessment methods out there. It can seem overwhelming and confusing! The most common are seasonal which categorize by the basic four seasons – fall, winter, spring, and summer – or expand those to 12 or 16 seasons.

Put those out of your mind! To determine Color Code, I use a system developed by Shari Braendel of Fashion Meets Faith that is based on dominant color characteristics – hair, skin, and eyes. They work together to determine the colors that look best on you. Hair is NOT disregarded, as it is in some systems. Your hair can be your most dominant feature. How can it not be factored in? Skin undertone is great for choosing foundation color but it’s more subtle than your dominant skin overtone – light, medium, dark. The lightness, brightness, or deepness of your eyes is as important as their color.

You can see in the comparison photos below that the best colors for my Color Code (Cool) are much more flattering than the colors of my opposite Color Code (Warm). In the sample colors on the bottom, while they aren’t terrible on me, I look a bit tired, blotchy and a little older. In the sampling of my best colors on the top, my skin looks more even, and I look healthier and more energized. I shine! They harmonize with my natural coloring bringing about a more cohesive appearance.

Cool on top, Warm on bottom. My Color Code is Cool

The famous Reba McEntire is the opposite Color Code of me. She’s in the Warm Color Code. You can see how she radiates in those colors in the bottom photo! The colors in the top photo of the Cool Color Code, again, aren’t terrible but they compete with her beautiful coloring, grabbing the attention away from her instead of enhancing her and directing the eye to her face.

Swimsuit Shopping with Confidence

It’s that time of year again. Swimsuit season. Yay. We all love to go to the department store, weed through a bunch of swimsuits that *might* work, and head to our favorite place…the dressing room. Right? Who doesn’t enjoy standing in a stuffy little room with horrible lighting while dressed in the least amount of fabric we’ll publicly wear as we look in a mirror that makes us look like we’ve gained 10 lbs. since we parked our car? That’s a real confidence booster, isn’t it? <insert eyeroll>

It doesn’t have to be that way. If you know the swimsuit features that will best flatter your body, shopping can actually be enjoyable. It sets you up for success which boosts confidence in your appearance. You’ll be objective about what you see in the mirror, critiquing the SWIMSUIT, not your body.

Always start with your best colors taken from your Color Code**. Then bear in mind some specific tips based on your body type…

If you have a B body type (extra weight in belly):

  • Choose a swimsuit with extra spandex or lycra
  • A pattern will be more flattering than a solid and will keep the eye distracted
  • Try a flowy swimdress, a blouson or tiered tankini, or ruching detail
Examples for a B body type *

For a D body type (hips wider than shoulders or extra weight in derriere/hips/thighs):

  • Choose wide straps
  • Avoid halter top styles
  • Choose the darker colors in your Color Code on the bottom or a skirted bottom
  • Look for horizontal detail on the top
Examples for a D body type *

To balance an O body type (overly endowed bust, extra weight in upper midriff):

  • Support is KEY! Look for a swimsuit with a built in bra or underwire
  • High cut armhole will keep you from spilling out at the sides
  • V-neck will be the most flattering
  • Choose the darker colors of your Color Code
  • An all over print keeps the eye distracted
Examples for an O body type *

To enhance a smaller bust:

  • Choose interesting details on the top, e.g., ruffles, ruching, gathers, contrast
  • Light colors (in your Color Code) on top will help create balance
  • A pattern – on top it will give the illusion of volume, all over it will keep the eye distracted
  • Built in padding is an option
Examples for a smaller bust *

To balance shoulders:

  • Halter styles will narrow wide shoulders by drawing the eye inward
  • Wide straps, especially set toward the end of the shoulders, will widen narrow shoulders by drawing the eye outward
Examples for balancing shoulders*

If you lack waist definition:

  • Look for swimsuits with shirring or ruching in the middle
  • Crossover detail in the middle
  • Patterns that create the illusion of a waist or all over to distract the eye
Examples to create waist definition*

No matter what particular body type or feature you want to address in your swimsuit, remember that ALL bodies are SWIMSUIT BODIES! You are beautiful the way God made you. Wear the swimsuit. Play with your family. Take the photos. Enjoy your summer. Be assured that your family loves YOU in whatever shaped package you’re housed.

Happy swimsuit shopping…with confidence!

*swimsuits are from Land’s End, RoseWe, and Bare Necessities
