2. A leather jacket in a color of your choice. I like faux leather jackets because you can stay completely on trend with different cuts and colors without completely breaking the bank. I like to mix my leather jacket with soft colors and textures to balance hard and soft.
4. A stack of short {costume} pearls. I wear them with my most casual chambray shirt and my most fancy silk shirt. They are the most versatile and lovely piece of jewelry that I own. I got these ones from J.Crew Factory for about $30. My cost-per-wear is probably down to like, a penny. {Side note: I love a good pair of oversized pearl earrings too! You must own some!}
5. A colored and fitted pencil skirt. I wear my pencil skirt dressed down with boots or dressed up with some pointy toe heels, like I did here. The colored skirt is an unexpected pop from your basic black pencil skirt that can still be worn a dozen different ways!
6. Printed pants. I was honestly so scared of printed for the longest time but now, I adore them. I wear my polka dot pants the most, but I love these bold bow-print pants. If bold pants intimidate you, try pairing them with a simple black turtleneck or chambray shirt on the top. And if you’re really just too scared, then just try a colored pant. I promise, you’ll love them. I only own 1 pair of blue jeans now, if that tells you just how much I love going crazy with party pants. … Is there anything you’d add to the list? Comment here to tell me what I’m missing out on! And of course, I would just love for you to join me over at The Lookbook! Thank you for letting me guest post on your cute blog today! xo Corinne
