    I love helping my clients define their personal style. Most of the clients I work with just don’t know how to do it anymore… Or they do, but they really don’t have the time… Or, they have some really good pieces, but they don’t know how to put them together… Or, they walk into a store and don’t know where to start.. .Or, they know exactly what they want and they just need help finding it. You get the idea. I think I have the coolest job in the world, for me.

    Jessie Carlson Wardrobe has been going for over 10 years. When Nordstrom decided to open their doors in Vancouver, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. I joined the Nordstrom team in September and have had a ball dressing my clients, their husbands, and their children. There is something for everyone in the store.

    • The Essential List

    Anytime I go into a client’s wardrobe, I always start with the essentials.

    You gotta have them. Once you do, you can do all kinds of trend shopping, but you have to start with the basics.

    With that in mind, let’s just go over the list of essentials (spring/summer), shall we?..

    The Black Capri, let’s be honest, the black capri is a year round essential.

    White jeans, I may not do white jeans this summer only because I am still carrying Lucy weight.. This doesn’t mean that you can’t wear them though. Besides, Lucy is so worth it.

    white jeans

    Mid wash jeans, if you want to be a touch trendy you can roll the bottoms and wear a heel, preferably a wedge. It’s cute. However, I wear these with flats, but I am just classic and preppy like that.

    skinny mid rise

    Speaking of the wedge, these are also great with wide leg jeans, or dresses.. In fact, I think I may buy these.. If I do, I might even roll the cuff of my jeans and wear them.

    Wedges

    The black flat, it’s hardly necessary to put a picture of these in here, but we all like a picture example, right? Also love a snakeskin flat.

    Nautical stripes, so great with white jeans.

    The white blouse, silk, it hangs so beautifully that I wear this in spite of breast feeding and baby spit up mishaps.

    The Cardigan, ooooh I love this one. I have it and wear it constantly.

    The V Neck, camel, nude, beige.. It’s all very hot right now, convenient as I love it all.

    The Row v neck

    Obviously you need a few t-shirts, I have spent considerable time discussing t-shirts on this blog, and with clients.. My new favourite line is Majestic, but I buy them big for the drape-y hang look. Also Kain is still a favourite.

    The Blazer, I have a white one, but I think any nude, camel, beige, or tan version is perfect as well.

    Now, I know I have been away from work and blogging now for 6 months. I can’t imagine how much you miss me. I am slowly coming back to work though. I have been doing a few wardrobe analyses. I bring Lucy with me. Let me know if we should be discussing your spring wardrobe, and I promise I will be a more prevalent blogger.

    Spring Jackets

    Michelle and I are both obsessed with them..

    I have narrowed my list down to a few:

    Rick Owens, $2500 I love everything about this jacket, and I am sure my life would be amazing with this in it.

    Rick Owens $2500

    Zara, $300 A close second, and perhaps a touch more affordable..

    Zara $300

    Vince, $400 A good alternative to a trench coat, which you should have anyway.. The trench, I mean, you should have the trench anyway.

    Vince $400

    Rag And Bone $270, A classic, you don’t have to buy Rag and Bone, you can buy one at the Gap.

    Rag and Bone $270

    Maje $620, Just because I am so preppy.

    Maje $620

    Lover $650, I love this line.

    Lover $650

    Helmut Lang $800, I love Helmut Lang, this is a perfect professional coat.

    Helmut Lang

    Speaking of Helmut Lang, Michelle bought the greatest spring blazer I have seen in a while. Except hers is black.

    I won’t say how much it is, because that’s rude. Besides she looks amazing in it.
