\u201cTo me, a good outfit is one I don\u2019t have to think about too much,\u201d says Laura Tully<\/a>, a personal wardrobe stylist who lives in Boise, Idaho, with her husband and three kids. Her ethos \u2014\u00a0for herself and her clients \u2014\u00a0is that your wardrobe should serve your life right now. \u201cStyle is about caring for yourself in the season you\u2019re in,\u201d she says, \u201cnot chasing the hope that one day you\u2019ll be this person or that person.\u201d Here, Laura shares five outfits she wore in a week\u2026<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Jacket: H&M<\/a>. T-shirt: Leset<\/a>. Jeans: Citizens of Humanity<\/a>. Belt: Old Navy<\/a>. Sneakers: Reebok<\/a>. Baseball cap: Clare V<\/a>. Earrings: Gorjana<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI have tried a million white T-shirts, and Leset<\/a> is by far my favorite. They\u2019re slightly cropped, but I\u2019m 5\u20199 and I can still raise the roof in these tees without worrying about my bra showing. What I love is that they always come through the wash in good condition and still looking white.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\u201cI know people love accessories, and so do I, but dressing yourself is like cooking, where sometimes a really good meal has just five ingredients. This barn jacket<\/a> is like a chunk of really good Parm that you keep in the fridge and use over and over until it\u2019s down to a tiny nub.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Blazer: Eaves<\/a>. Jeans: Citizens of Humanity<\/a>. Shoes: similar<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI wear this outfit to work meetings. The jeans are super comfortable, which is important to me. I have a three-year-old daughter, a six-year-old son, and a twenty-year-old stepdaughter. I work in and out of the house, and one day I\u2019m crushing it, and the next day I\u2019m like, \u2018That could\u2019ve gone better.\u2019 So, I want clothes that don\u2019t require management, because I\u2019m already managing plenty of other things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m also really practical when it comes to makeup. I stick to two lip colors: MAC lip pencil<\/a> in Chicory, which is a warm nutmeg, and if I want more depth, I\u2019ll layer it with the Ilia crayon<\/a> in Gala, a hydrating dark rose.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Denim shirt: Madewell, similar<\/a>. Dress: Bardot, similar<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFor date nights, this dress<\/a> initially felt a little bit out of the box, since I don\u2019t wear a lot of prints. But now I wear it everywhere! It also has pockets, which I think is just proper math when it comes to skirts and dresses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in Jamaica. My dad was a shoemaker, and my mom had several jobs, including seamstress work. We had very little means, but my parents instilled in me the idea that, regardless of money, you can be intentional about the clothes that you put on your body. And that can be just as important as the words that come out of your mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Jacket: Anine Bing, similar<\/a>. Shirt: Ralph Lauren<\/a>. Jeans: Citizens of Humanity<\/a>. Sneakers: Reebok<\/a>. Earrings: Gorjana<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in jeans 90% of the time, and I like cuffing or creasing them so it doesn\u2019t feel like I\u2019m wearing the same thing over and over. The key is having denim with a good amount of weight. The higher the cotton percentage, the easier it is to make it look sharp.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\u201cWith my \u2018professional\u2019 jeans, I take them to the dry cleaner for what\u2019s called a wet press or cowboy press, which is basically super-heavy starching. Then I bring them home, cuff them, and put a book on top of them for a day. After that, I can wear them for weeks, and they\u2019ll still look crisp and polished.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Top: H&M, similar<\/a>. Skirt: Rails<\/a>. Purse: Saint Laurent<\/a>. Sneakers: Converse<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCute sneakers are my love language. They\u2019re comfy, of course, and sneakers can decompress an outfit, in a good way, you know? When you feel like, \u2018This work outfit may be too stuffy,\u2019 throwing on cute sneaks adds something personable that invites other people to let their guard down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore kids, I had this vision of myself as having it all together. And I hear it all the time from other moms: \u2018I just want to feel pulled together.\u2019 I think that phrase can sometimes translate to this ideal Pinterest-board version of your life, and that\u2019s not really going to serve you. You\u2019re always going to feel like, \u2018Ugh, I\u2019m not there yet.\u2019 My approach with style is, \u2018What\u2019s going on here<\/em>? What do we need now<\/em>?’\u201d<\/p>\n

Thank you so much, Laura<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

P.S. More weeks of outfits<\/a>, including a New England grandmother<\/a> and an afrofuturist in Detroit<\/a>.<\/p>\n
