Smart Sips featuring Sydney Lester of Chic Stripes at The Graduate

by | Mar 9, 2018 | COMMUNITY

Do you have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear? Does the idea of shopping make you need a glass of wine STAT? Would you love to make getting dressed every morning easy and stress free (who doesn’t?)!?

Join us for WINE and WISDOM from Sydney Lester of @chicstripes and learn how to create a capsule wardrobe.

In this workshop you’ll learn how to:

*Curate a closet of staple, seasonless pieces that make getting dressed simple

*Identify which season -specific or trend items should (or shouldn’t) make their way into your closet

*Shop with intention to avoid impulse purchases (that often only get worn once!)

*Dress for your body type to choose pieces that are always flattering and make you feel like a 10

*Create multiple outfits from your capsule pieces, maximizing what you already own

*Find stores (consignment included!) that work for your budget, style, and lifestyle, making shopping easy, not a chore

You’ll walk away with:

*Sydney’s Essential Wardrobe Checklist

*Your own Personalized Shopping List

This workshop will teach you how to create a wardrobe that works for you, not against you!

Grab your girlfriends and enjoy a night out with wine + fashion! Tickets available via Eventbrite.
