classic (casual) wardrobe pieces worth the investment

there are a few things every woman needs in her closet. granted, this list could go on and on and on (yes..and on). i could add in different kinds of tops, cardigans, dresses, business attire, etc. but when it comes down to it, there are certain pieces that are worth the investment and others that are additions to a base.

here are a few things that i think are essential to any casual wardrobe. they are classic, timeless, and when you find the perfect one, you hold on to it forever, take care of it, and sometimes (perhaps with a perfect white blouse and jeans?) you purchase more than one.

so here we go.

every woman needs: a trench coat that cinches the waist for a sexy line, a crisp white blouse and the perfect jeans that hug in all of the right places. a gold watch, a diamond necklace with a little of your own flare to it, and a pair of pearls will always steer you in the right direction. finish everything off with black shoes – a simple pair of black flats, a pair of flats with a little extra jazz and a mid-height pair of black pumps are essential from your casual to your work looks.

after seeing the incredible my week with marilyn, i realized that audrey hepburn, marilyn monroe and jackie kennedy all had one thing in common (among many others, i’m sure). the black turtleneck.

whether you’re an audrey, marilyn or jackie, the one wardrobe essential all of us leading ladies must own is the black turtleneck!

get their look by pairing a black turtleneck with black or denim skinnies. we reco jcrew’s luxurious cashmere sweater – but really, any black turtleneck will do.
