7 Fashion Staples that Every Woman Should Own

Before any fashionista can hit hit the run-way running, she’s got to arm her closet with some wardrobe basics:

1. Classic trench-Choose a well tailored option in a flattering color that goes in at your particular waste-yes we all have different wastes.  Also, opt for one that hits right at, or below your knee.  Avoid double-breasted styles because they can make you look larger than you really are.

2. The Black Pump- Whether you’re off to work or out on the weekend with your favorite girlfriends, a black pump is the perfect shoe to add to almost any outfit.  Choose one with a reasonable heel, but have fun with the style.  Patent leather is always our favorite.

3. The Button Down- A fitted, crisp, collared button down shirt is a definite necessity in any fashionista’s closet.  This versatile shirt can go with anything from a pencil skirt for work, to over a bikini on the beach

4. A Stylish Pair of Flats-Make sure they are comfortable and fit you to a Tee. After the fit is perfect, find a pair with a little edge. Anything from broaches, to studs, to peep toes will allow your own personal style to shine through.

5. A Black Blazer- a well fitted blazer is the perfect cherry on a fashion sundae. I always go to it for the final piece to put everything together. If I feel like I’m showing too much skin, I’ll simply slip on my blazer and go from their.

6. The “Damn, I look Good in these “Jeans- Everyone needs a pair of jeans that makes their bootie look fine. Hourglass girls should go for a pair of bootlegs where boy-shaped girls can opt for a skinny jean. But remember, as long as you feel great, nothing else matters.

7. The Tote- Every fashionista needs a tote to put together a suit or dress. Pick out a classy, roomy, leather tote to tie in your whole outfit. Not to mention you’ll have a spot for your keys, cellphone, and lip gloss. Job well done!
