Today’s episode is all about building a timeless wardrobe with quality basics—because who else is tired of clothes falling apart after a few washes? 🙋‍♀️

By the end of this episode, you'll know what to buy, how to spot quality, and how to make your clothes last longer. Let's dive in! 🎧💡

🛍️ Key Takeaways

✅ Tip 1: Focus on Versatile Basics

• Stick to wardrobe essentials: white button-down shirts, dark-wash jeans, black trousers, neutral blazers, and classic shoes. 👕👖👞
• Choose neutral colors like black, white, navy, and beige for easy mixing and matching. 🎨
• Action Step: Audit your wardrobe & list missing essentials.

🏆 Tip 2: Look for Quality Over Quantity

• Fabric matters – Opt for natural fibers like cotton, linen, wool, and silk for durability and comfort. 🌿👚
• Check the seams – Tight, even stitching = better quality. Avoid loose threads! ✂️
• Fit is key – A well-fitted piece always looks more polished and expensive. 🕴️
• Recommended brands for quality basics:
• 🏅 Everlane
• 👗 Uniqlo
• 🛍️ Madewell

🧼 Tip 3: Buy Less, Care More

• Wash wisely – Cold water + gentle cycles = longer-lasting clothes. 🧺❄️
• Proper storage – Fold heavy sweaters, use padded hangers for delicate fabrics. 👚👕
• Repair, don’t toss – Learn basic fixes like sewing buttons & patching holes. 🪡🧵

📌 Example: My fave jeans are 5 years old—all because I air-dry them instead of using the dryer! 🌬️👖
