Stylish vs. Trendy

Classic and timeless are both words that come to mind when thinking about true style. Those gifted few who dress every morning in current fashionable apparel without looking dated in trendy clothes understand that style should be effortless. Spending excessive amounts on trends that change as quickly as the hands on your watch is not only wasteful but guarantees a "why did I ever wear that" moment.  

The best way to keep your wardrobe stylish is buying classic pieces and build from a good foundation. 

For Example:

-The little black dress

-A great pair of jeans

-a classic blazer

-a statement necklace 

-and a pair of pearl earrings (whether real or costume)

Are all great pieces that every woman should have in her closet. 

After starting with a strong foundation adding one of a kind vintages pieces or a lost and found object such as a broach or a an old silk scarf is a great way to finalize your look. No matter what your aesthetic, a solid foundation is the best way to begin.
