It doesn’t take a fortune to create a classic outfit that will always be memorable and most importantly look great on you! As the great Yves Saint Laurent put it, “Fashion fades; Style is eternal.” Meaning find a style that works for you and stick with it instead of being a slave to all the ridiculous fashion trends. Take Michael Kors or Caroline Herrera for instance. Their styles are extremely simple but always look very put together and refined. Kors always has an impeccably designed blazer, while Herrera is usually dressed in a crisp white shirt and skirt. All of these looks are so easy to achieve without spending a ton of money. And they instantly transform your outfit from sloppy to classic and chic.
My next tip is about being careful on the type of clothing you spend your hard earned money on. Always invest on a couple of key pieces like a great pair of jeans, a classic fit jacket, a white T-shirt, a sturdy pair of heels and flats as well as that little black dress every woman needs. All of these can be worn at anytime with anything, so it’s important to find the right items, even if it means on having to spend a little extra. Make sure the cut is tailored to your body and is also durable because once you get the simple basics right, you no longer have to spend money on unnecessary items that come and go every season. These always work a 100%. Plus, now you will have more money to spend on accessories — lets facet it — as women, we will always need more shoes and handbags!
Another great tip is to always have a pair of tan strappy or peep-toe heels in your closet. (Check Payless — they have a great strappy summer heel for under $15) This is a must have for every girl because tan shoes makes legs look longer and leaner, especially for these beautiful summer days.
