Today, I’m sharing how I used a personal color palette in my styling process to help Genevieve refresh her closet for spring.
She booked a Save Bundle = Express Closet Discovery Session + a Wardrobe Capsule creation earlier this March. Read to see how I used a personal color palette to refresh Genevieve’s closet and my styling process. Watch the video to see her 7-Piece Capsule + 14 Outfits.
How often do you find yourself bored with your clothes and wondering what new pieces you need to update for the season?
3 Ways A Personal Color Palette Helps Refresh Your Closet
1. A personal color palette will identify the best hues for your natural or current coloring.
Use the colors in your palette (and avoid the ones that aren’t) to update your look. These hues will make your skin glow and bring your outfits to life.
We identify Genevieve as a “True Shaded,” also known as a “Classic Winter”. She looks beautiful in cool saturated hues. We located all the pieces in her closet that fit in her color palette.
2. A personal color palette will tell you what new colors to incorporate & play with.
Gen gravitates towards pink colors. I rounded out her closet by selecting a teal bag from Amazon. Teal is a stunning complement to her favorite color – magenta. Pairing these together creates excitement and energy that matches her personality. Use the color palette to fill in missing colors and create new outfit options.
3. A personal color palette will teach you how to create new color pairings.
The swatches in the personal palettes work beautifully together. You can create new outfits by grabbing different colors and pairing them in fresh ways. Palettes help create a cohesive closet with less effort.
Start with a color you typically wear, then pair it with other colors from the palette you haven’t yet worn together. You’ll find new options within your own wardrobe you’ve never thought of!

THE STYLING PROCESS
The process I used for Genevieve’s Express Closet Discovery Session + Wardrobe Capsule creation.
1. Identify a personal color palette.
2. Identify the current pieces that work well for her now.
3. Create a shopping list of items that need to be replaced and holes that need to be filled.
4. Remove items that no longer serve her.
5. Determine the theme for her Wardrobe Capsule, Stylish Casual Mom.
6. Select pieces to use from her closet to create the wardrobe capsule + outfits.

2. Body Shape Cheat Sheet pdf
3. Shopping links for several items that needed to be replaced.
4. Shopping links to new accessory ideas for wardrobe capsule.

In Summary
Colors play an important factor in creating the perfect wardrobe. I start with color to help build a cohesive mix and match closet that is tailored to each individual. It also keeps clothing choices fun and interesting while teaching you how to wear colors together in a simple, effortless way.
