Classic Fashion Must Haves!

BY Y.SMITTY

I remember telling my Grandmother "MC Hammer pants were the style" back in the 90’s. She kindly told me they were not the style, they were a fad. She explained the difference and I thought she was just "old school". Well I guess I am old school too because it makes perfect sense to me as an adult. I do love some of the trendy fashions but I don’t purchase many items just a few pieces to mix with my classic pieces. I also never pay full price for those items.

Over the years I have accumulated a pretty simple classic wardrobe that I can wear from year to year without having to add much. I change the look with accessories, but my staples are pretty much the same. 　I work in a professional environment so I like to keep a timeless look and I can jazz it up if needed. I think every fashionable woman should have a few basic pieces.


Of course, everyone has their own style and I am not saying go out and buy these items at one time (or at all) but if you see a nice quality item at a budget friendly price consider it.

1.　　　 Black pumps - not a 6 inch platform stiletto, a traditional comfortable     black pump
2.　　　 Suit - jacket / pants or jacket / pencil skirt
3.　　      Beautiful watch
4.　　　 Crisp white shirt
5.　　　 Classic handbag
6.　　　 Black dress
7.　　　 Classic winter coat
8.　　　 String of pearls
9.　　　 Red lipstick
10.　　Jewelry you never take off

Bonus: A fresh signature scent (nothing overpowering that enters the room before you do)
