Q: If I were to invest in some timeless wardrobe staples (especially staples that satisfy my personal trifecta: work, cocktails and church), what pieces would you suggest? —Courtney
First of all, I love that cocktails is included with work and church in your personal trifecta! Girl’s gotta have priorities! A few (on-trend) items that I would suggest investing in and can be worn to all three are:
1. A bright pencil skirt
2. Bright pumps
3. A statement necklace
4. A patterned shift
5. A printed blazer (Maybe this is less than timeless, but wearable for a few years for sure!)
6. A fabulous cocktail ring
7. A just-for-fun clutch (stick it in your work bag… it will make you smile!)
8. Substantial studs (the bigger the better, no?)
9. A grown-up watch
10. A really fabulous handbag
Any of these will look just as fab when paired with a suit/blouse/skirt as with a T-shirt and jeans! As always, fit is key, so be sure to have everything tailored so it fits perfectly!
