Style Sense: 10 Classic Investment Items

The perfect wardrobe is absolutely nothing

without the most simple, yet chic, items that style brings to us.

Trend-proof your closet with the few fashion items that never seem to go out of style.

It's up to you to put your own twist on these classic investment pieces.



1) Tailored Living
One of the most essential items of every closet is
the classic tailored button-up shirt.
This is one item that you can transform from business to party...In a matter of minutes.
Sort of like a fashion mullet!
Pair with:
A wide-leg pant for a fashionable business look.
or a pair of distressed jeans--to avoid contradiction,
leave a few buttons undone at the top--
and finish the look off with your fave cuff bracelets

2) InFLATuation
Flats have to be the most universal type of shoes on God's green earth.
From jeans, to skirts, to dresses.
They always seem to go.
Natural colors are more practical,
but they come in numerous colors and styles.
Easy to slip on, easy to wear.
Complete any look with a pair like
these chestnut LANVIN flats!

3) TrailBLAZE

If you don't own at least one blazer,
close out this window,
and begin your search!
This is a NECESSITY to EVERY closet!
Today, there's no one way to
explain what a blazer is.
They come in various colors, fabrics, and styles.
No matter the type, blazers are probably the most versatile
of all investment items.
Don't be caught without one!

4) Big Dreams and Skinny Jeans
We all adore skinny jeans,
and know that with them comes hours of ZUMBA!
Classic dark wash pencil jeans are the perfect
way to show off your summer-ready body.
They can be worn for almost any occasion.
Dressed up, or dressed down.
Simply put, we all need a pair!

5) From the Range to the Streets
Cowboy boots are one of the few
fashion trends that actually lasted.
Any why wouldn't they?
They're as versatile as a boot can get
and as sexy as Daisy Dukes
Under jeans, over jeans, with a dress...
Be daring--step out of the square
and right into a square dance!

6) Cami-flodge
Camisoles are the perfect layering piece.
They can save you from the exposure of a sheer blouse or just add a little color under your sweaters.
There is nothing that you cannot
pair a cami with.
They come in an infinite amount of colors
and even in different styles.
Whenever in doubt, wear a cami...
You'll be good!

7) In the Nude
If you have yet to purchase a pair of nude pumps,
you are missing out...BIG TIME!
Some fashionistas will argue that black is the most neutral of colors. I'd say that nude goes with any and everything.
Don't be let down when you find the perfect dress and just cannot find a pair of shoes to goes with.
I'd bet my bottom dollar that nude pumps,
like these from Betsey J's,
would go perfectly!

8) I ♥ my BF!
Boyfriend this,
and boyfriend that...
One of the hottest trends today is the boyfriend look,
even for the single gals.
What's not a trend is the classic bf fit cardigan
Another perfect layering item and something to have fun with
Steal his cardi, or buy your own..
just get your hands on one of these!
Oh...how I ♥ my BF...fit cardi =)

9) Tote me with you...
Ahh...the classic large tote!
What would I ever do without it?
Carry it to class, or work, or on a mall trip...
Everything fits!
Once you have one,
you'll never be able to live without it again.
Try getting one in a neutral color,
like camel, chocolate, or black.
And maybe not as pricey as this one
by Proenza Schouler

10) Over-size Me!
Fierce sun rays call for fierce shades!
And there's nothing hotter than a pair of over-sized
vintage-like shades to protect your precious eyes.
These can be found almost anywhere for as low as 5 bucks.
The perfect topping on any outfit...
Treat them like sunscreen,
don't be caught in the sun without them!
