Are you a busy mom with no time to figure out what's fashionable? Do you struggle to feel put together on a regular day at home or running out on errands?
The Women's Essentials Style Guide is a done-for-you "style recipe book" that helps you take the clothes you own and start feeling confident about how you style them.
We recommend all our customers start with this package as it covers all your casual wardrobe needs + includes some dressier outfits for special occasions.
The book starts by breaking down the simple, fastest way to declutter your closet and put together a purposeful wardrobe that you actually wear.
Then it lists all the categories of clothes you should consider owning and details what to look for in each item (even down to how to adapt it for maternity and nursing!). It includes printable shopping checklists too. You probably already own many of these items, including descriptions like Dark Wash Jeans, Neutral Tee, Sweatshirt, Strappy Sandals, and Simple Earrings!
The third section shows you ALL the possible ways you can combine those clothes into cute and comfy outfits for everyday life! There are 428 unique outfit combinations! This section provides visual examples and an "outfit formula" or "outfit recipe" that helps you re-create the outfit with YOUR own pieces.
The fourth section provides an example of how every single outfit combination looks like ON A REAL MOM. With 30 different models, you'll be sure to find an example that resembles your body shape and size.
The final section of the book shows you "Styling Tricks" so you can take any frumpy outfit and "fix" it to look put together. Detailed steps and pictures make it easy to learn and apply these tweaks to any of your outfits to take it from "blah" to fabulous!
BONUS: Huge Shopping Guide! Enjoy hundreds of links to the wardrobe items around the web, curated for you so you don't have to spend hours searching!

What's New
What's NEW in the 4th Edition Women's Essentials Style Collection:
- New name. We changed the collection name from The Year-Round Outfit Guide for Moms to The Women's Essentials collection to reflect that is the core foundation you should start with!
- Updated styles for our example pieces. We've updated the example clothing pieces used to reflect current styles!
- New example color scheme. Our example pieces are in a brighter color scheme that includes coral, turquoise, and red!
- New items added to the capsule wardrobe plan: We added 3 new items and show you how to mix and match them with the rest of your items. The new items are a Long Sleeve Print Tee, Print Sweater, and Sweater Dress!
- Every outfit combination carefully updated. Each existing outfit # will remain but they've been "freshened" up to reflect current styles. Also, the pieces in many of the outfits have been simplified to make them more wearable.
- Dozens of NEW outfit combinations: We added combinations that were missing in previous editions. We also added outfit combinations or "formulas" for our new pieces. In total there are 54 NEW unique outfits!
- New "Real Women" Models. We introduced 8 new models to the "Outfits on Real Women" section so that every outfit is shown on a range of sizes and body shapes. You'll now find nearly 30 different real moms modeling the outfit combinations so each outfit comes alive and feels more wearable.

FAQ
What if I don’t have any budget to buy clothes right now?
Building up a wardrobe you love can take months or even years. The cool thing is, even without all the recommended pieces you can enjoy tons of versatility and have fun in the process. Start by purging your closet to get down to the best of what you have. Plan a monthly budget for clothes and focus on 1 or 2 essentials from the list that would help add versatility. Don’t forget to check your local thrift stores!
Do I have to buy the clothes on your list for this to work?
The pieces pictured are just examples. The goal is to use the description about each piece to find something in your closet or the store that matches the description.
Won’t I get bored by the size of a capsule wardrobe?
We call this a capsule because it is focused on leanness and creating remixability in your wardrobe. However at 62 pieces + shoes and accessories this is no mini, boring capsule. It’s a complete wardrobe framework that will last you a lifetime, with over 400 unique outfit combinations!
I’m stuck on the step of planning a color scheme. Where can I get more help?
You’re not alone--this is the most common step for moms to get hung up on. See your dashboard for access to the mini course that comes with your outfit guide. It provides steps and templates you can use to make this easier!
What if I’m over 40, will this still work for me?
Absolutely! A majority of our moms are actually in the 35-55 range. And we have many seniors using it too. The plan is flexible enough to adapt to your taste and style while still allowing the outfit combinations to work beautifully.
Does this work for plus size too?
Yes, we have moms of every shape and size using it and looking fab!
What should I do with the clothes in my wardrobe that aren’t on the list?
If you like them and they fit well, keep them! You can swap them in on any of the outfits.
Does this work for maternity?
Yes, this was designed to work for pregnant and nursing mamas too! You’ll see notes for maternity in the capsule list and the outfits are modeled on pregnant ladies too.
