Who What Wear - Purge These Keep Those

February 4, 2021 janet gunn

Janet Gunn is always quite the source of sartorial inspiration. We routinely turn to her if we're looking for fresh shopping tips or style advice. You may remember when she recently shared the loungewear looks she's loving at the moment. Well, given the fact that she adores fashion and works as an influencer, she's accumulated quite the smattering of clothing items over the years. As a result, she spent time recently reorganizing her closet and purging items she's not wearing as much anymore. Naturally, we were intrigued by her closet clean-out process. Who What Wear Article

Thanks to the help of stylist and closet organizer Sherry Farrahi, I have done a major purge, and “less is more” is a fact. By chance have you watched the documentary called The Minimalists on Netflix? This was eye-opening. Letting go is always a daily activity for me on all kinds of topics, and when it comes to clothes, clearing out feels GREAT! Scroll to the bottom to see where you can donate your clothing for a wonderful cause.

Purging: Worn Blouses and Those That Are Too Fitted
Keeping/Adding: Classic, Slightly Oversize Button-Downs

So many blouses, so little time. I like sticking with classics, slightly oversize button-down styles in my favorite fabrics, cotton or silk from Hark & Hammer, Use Code JANET25 / Grayson, and sweaters, cardigans, and pullovers I live in from Mer Sea.

Purging: Heels That Are Too Worn
Keeping/Adding: Practical Shoes

I've officially traded in my sky-high heels for practical, classic styles. My feet are thrilled that I'm now sticking with lower heels and flats like sling-backs, loafers, oxfords, and street-wise sneakers. Boots / Jeans / Jacket

Angela Scott - Use Code: JANETGUNNGRATEFULGARDENIA20

Purging: Oversize Bags That Haven't Gotten Use
Keeping/Adding: Structured Bags and Crossbody Styles

I admit I am a bit of a bag lady. Sure, I love a designer bag, but I am also a huge collector of other styles. I've also slowly been ditching my heavy, oversize bags for smaller, structured ones. Oh, and I love a hands-free belt bag any day. Note to self; Keep your classic bags! Bag - Peri A. / Chanel Slingbacks - Similar

Boy, I sure had a collection of T-shirts taking up space in my closet—way too many versions of the same style. But no more! I kept only the best fitting ones and added more graphic designs to keep my look updated and fun. I’m a tad obsessed with T’s from Ganni

Never hurts to have a little assistance… Thanks, Buster, xo mom / Raquel Allegra

Thank you, Sherry! Loved how you make getting dressed so easy and for fine-tuning my closet.

ZARA RAIN GEAR + ELAINE KIM TECH STRETCH

February 1, 2021 janet gunn

Grab your rain-gear! When the rain returns I’ll be ready. It looks like there are serious snowflakes falling on the east coast, anyone else making snowmen? Here in L.A., we don’t really need a heavy jacket but lately, I’m getting a lot of use out of my fun rain gear from ZARA (If you’re looking for a little “street style” vibe.) Also available in olive green.

(Go 1 full size down - I am a size 7 these are a size 6.)

Lot’s of cozy and stylish sweats to be had and I’m really enjoying lounging in these sweatpants/pullover - It’s super soft and looks good on the streets and on your couch. My #1 favorite - Sydney Evan Jewelry - Great Valentine’s Day gift idea!

Adding a scarf is an easy way to elevate your look for stand-out style. Lately, Mr. Buster… in the background has been sporting his plaid jacket.

Elaine Kim designed her tech stretch pant with movement in mind and look great while doing it. I’ve gotten so much wear out of this REVERSIBLE PADDED JACKET from ZARA Get it now before they sell out! It’s great to wear over your chunky sweaters and not feel constrained. Easy to pack and adds a little trend and edge.

Use Code JANET15 for All Elaine Kim

Hold on to your classic bags that you invested in years ago, it all comes back around.

Reversible Padded Jacket - ZARA

It looks like we’re having all sorts of cold and wet weather. I always find great sales at Mango and trendy pieces from ZARA. Think I’ll head back inside… not sure if I’m ready to get back out there! How about you?

Have fun, stay healthy, and thank you for reading,

xx, Janet

Melissa Meyers and I thought we’d share our insight into the trendier items and especially forward basics we’re prioritizing this year. After all, we love sharing our style point of view for over 50, but of course, age has absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear! It’s attitude but you know that already and we love that! Who What Wear keeps delivering stylish women to follow for getting creative with your fashion and staying true to your personal style. Read the full article on Who What Wear.

These last few months I discovered faux-leather from Mango. Not only is it 100% accurate for sizing, but the price is so affordable. Right now their sale is up to 70% off!
