Wardrobe Basics
1. Denim Jacket: Perfect for fall or cool summer nights. It's versatile and can go with almost any outfit. During the summer I loved pairing a denim jacket with a maxi dress or skirt and chunky jewelry. For the fall, I like pairing it with a simple t-shirt, black jeans and riding boots.
2. Leather Motorcycle Jacket: The leather jacket is a fall statement piece. It can be dressed up for a night out or dressed down for school or work, it truly is a versatile piece. Wear it over your LBD for a night out or pair it with a t-shirt, jeans, boots and some colorful jewelry.
3. Cashmere Cardigan: A staple in any work wardrobe. Cashmere is long lasting and never goes out of style. Pair it with some slacks or a pencil skirt for the office, and dress it down on the weekends with a pair of your favorite boyfriend jeans and flats.
4. Blazers: Blazers ad just the right punch to any outfit. Throw it on over a simple white t-shirt and jeans and you're good to go for the evening. Make sure it is tailored and fits your body in all the right places.
5. Trench Coat: Investing in a trench coat is a great idea. They are timeless pieces that add just the right level of sexiness to any outfit. Wear it over top of a LBD for a night out or put if over your skinny jeans and cashmere sweater for a day of running errands on the weekends.
6. Black Trousers: This is a must have for any work wardrobe. Invest in a couple great pairs such as Ann Taylor or Michael Kors for a piece that will last your for years. Get them tailored to ensure a great fit.
7. Jeans: A great fitting pair of jeans can transform any look and make you feel amazing. Invest in a few classic pairs to keep your wardrobe up to date. Don't be afraid to have them tailored. If you're spending $100 or more on a pair of jeans, you want to make sure they fit your body perfectly.
8. Black Jeans: Perfect for casual Friday at the office or for plain every day wear. They give your look an edgier feel than regular jeans and can easily be taken from day to night with a few jewelry changes.
9. Khakis: Along with black trousers, khakis are a must have. They work with almost any top and are essential for any work wardrobe. Get them tailored along with your other office pieces to ensure a great fit and longevity.
10. Pencil Skirt: It has a very naughty librarian feel, and can make any woman look absolutely amazing. Make sure the length and cut are right for your body type so that you don't looks disproportionate. Pair with some killer heels and a button down top for a classy/sexy office look. For night time, try pairing it with a chambray top and some "F Me" pumps.
11. The Little Black Dress: Every woman needs a LBD that they feel amazing in. This piece is essential for the office, as well as for the evening. It is simple, yet classic and easy enough to pull out of your closet and throw on when you're in a pinch.
12. Party Dress: Invest in a great party dress for girls' night out. Make sure it's something you feel sexy in and fits your body right. Go for a bright color that stands out so you aren't blending in with the crowd.
13. Metallic Flats: They are perfect for adding a little umph to any outfit. They can transition from fall to summer or from day to night. Look for silvers and golds, which always remain classics.
14. A Black Clutch: The perfect evening bag. They add a level of sophistication to an evening outfit while not taking away from the overall look. Try to find a basic black clutch as well as something that makes more of a statement, such as neon or studs.
15. Black Heels: A must have for any look. They are great for the office, and dress up any casual day time look. Invest in a great pair that you'll have for years to come. Look for leather and suede so that you can subtly change up your look.
16. Black Hobo Bag: It's an everything bag. It has the ability to hold your entire life inside while still looking stylish.
17. Black Riding Boots: An essential for fall. They go great with any outfit regardless of the occasion. Pair with leggings and chambray for a day time look, or try a knee high dress for the office or night time.
18. Cowboy boots: They go amazingly well with Chambray and leggings. They can be super casual and used to add a little excitement to an outfit, or you can dress them up for night time and go swing dance with your honey.
