The Key Pieces for Your Wardrobe

I am a big believer in buying classic pieces that you can accessorize in many different ways to get you a ton of looks out of only a few key pieces. Here are some suggestions to help you out! 

A wrap dress in a neutral colour can go from work to party in just a couple of steps. Choose a length that hits you just above the knee. This is most body type's "sweet spot" and makes you look longer and slimmer. 

Wear it with a blazer and kitten heels during the day, and spice it up with a shoulder shrug, tights, and sassy pumps at night. 
Silk V-Neck Drape Dress - Banana Republic $185.00
A blazer can be worn with just about anything. Jeans, dress pants, skirts, shorts, and dresses, oh my! Add a pop of colour with a funky brooch or a silky tank. 
Short Cool Wool Blazer - Zara $79.90
A great pair of jeans is priceless. Invest in a pair of straight leg (falls straight from the hip) or trouser jeans (pleated down the front). These will be so versatile you won't want to take them off! Dress them up with a blouse for casual Friday, then tuck it in, roll up the sleeve and add suspenders for happy hour drinks! 
Featherweight Trouser in Deep Blue Black - 7 For All Mankind $169.00
