Over the past few years, I have learned that there are certain items a woman simply must have in her arsenal/closet. They aren't necessarily the coolest or flashiest clothes you could find, but then, flashy doesn't always equal chic; which I think we all know by now just from various celebrities' style choices.
1. Know the power of a big bag.
I think it's much chicer to carry one large bag than owning a bunch of smaller ones. That just looks messy and ends up costing more in the long run. An expensive larger bag, if chosen in a classic color like black or brown, will last for several decades and is definitely worth its cost, but make sure to find one that fits your lifestyle!
2. Collect "you" accessories.
I gravitate toward huge & glamorous sunglasses straight from the 70's, pretty agendas, and cheap jewelry. I can't even count how many are hanging around in my room anymore!
3. Stick with classic cuts.
Choose pieces that are structured and body-conscious, and you'll never look like one of those silly starlets trying to be all trendy when really, they look like teenagers. I personally love the picture above from the show "Lipstick Jungle". It personifies the perfect wardrobe of a working woman. I always loved being able to wear shift dresses and pencil skirts.
4. Splurge on your coat.
The really expensive but great-looking ones do not go out of style!
5. Own lots of neutrals and a few great-color pieces.
You'll get more mileage out of your grays, blacks, navies, camels, and whites, and but you can make an impact with a fabulous bright-colored dress if you're going out.
