The Core Wardrobe: Ten Clothing Styles Every Woman Needs In Her Closet

“Think of them as the ever reliable building blocks or foundation on which to build post-worthy OOTDs; cute on their own but also basic enough to be in the background when you’re inspired to dress up.” Former fashion editor, Binky, helps simplify our closets by listing down the essentials that make a great core wardrobe

Simple Not Simple

As a wife, mom, reluctant homeschool teacher, defacto interior designer, handywoman, “all-around maker of all things” (or so my 7-year-old daughter thinks), time is precious. I totally get it. As a mom of 3 kids, subconsciously stockpiling these precious time-saving tidbits along the way gave way to Simple Not Simple—a busy woman’s survival guide of useful shortcuts, inspiring Christian lessons, easy style how-to segments, wife/mom insights, DIY hacks, informative in-depth pieces with bits of the joyous nostalgic 80s sprinkled throughout (hey, why not?).

I hope you’ll stay awhile. Take a well-deserved breather on a comfy couch and browse, muse, hopefully take away a helpful nugget (or two) that will make your life a little bit easier as you dive right back into the world of kids, jobs, homeschool, household chores, laundry, and grocery-runs. (I know, I need to pick up a few things too!).

Let this be a shot of faith-filled, fun-filled caffeine for your soul. A quick pick-me-up. An escape (squeezed in between prepping the family’s next meal and doing the laundry) to get you through the repetitive, the complicated, the breakneck bullet train of the not-so-simple life we’re on.

Welcome to Simple Not Simple.

We’re in this together,
