It is very easy to get stuck in a fashion rut during the winter months. The fun of fall fashion is over and you may be tempted to just throw on a thick (albeit warm) sweater and some comfy trousers. That look can get drab fast. If you have seven key pieces in your wardrobe, you can mix and match to avoid the frump that winter blues can bring. Let's take a look...
A tailored grey pants suit is another necessity this winter. It can simply be worn as a suit, but there is so much more you can do. You can where the jacket over a little black dress or wear the pants with a cardigan sweater or as shown above, with an animal print blouse and a bright colored jacket.
Now, to recap, you need a cardigan sweater, a little black dress, black tights, tailored pants suit, and a bright colored jacket. The last two items that will help you make it until spring are a cape and a pair of fresh black trousers (wide-leg or skinny).
I pretty much live in my cuffed black wide-leg trousers. I get a fresh pair of black pants each season. There isn't much I don't do with these pants. I dress them up with a blouse or wear them with polka dot sweater and my Danskos for a more fun, casual look. I usually wear skinny black pants in the spring and summer months, but I've seen these cute cuts paired with boots both knee and ankle along with pumps like pictured below. Put on some statement socks for a cool look with pumps, but make sure they're office appropriate.
The appeal of the cape is the dramatic effect it has with the simplest of outfits. It's like you're a superhero about to save the world. The bow is such a lovely addition to this pale cape. And the camel color of the other cape pairs well with almost everything. Shop in your closet first and then go out and use those gift cards on the items you need. They'll be on sale for sure!
