You don't have to splurge on a pair of Manolo Blahniks to make sure your shoes are high-quality. Just look for a sturdy, classic pair in a style you gravitate towards.

Focus on neutral shades that will go with a lot of looks.

Even if you live in the middle of the desert, this is a must for those cold nights or rainy days. You cannot look anything but great in this classic cut.

The most obvious on the list. You must have at least one because they work for so many occasions; from a wedding to a funeral. All you need to do

is add individualized accessories depending on each occasion.

Your jewelry box can be overflowing but it doesn’t even matter unless you have at least once necklace that is bold as hell when you rock it. The kind of

necklace that makes the whole outfit come together.

Never underestimate the power of a pair of jeans that fit your body like a glove. They lift in all the right places...

We’re not talking about the $2.99 pair you tossed on the counter at the gas station on last year’s road trip. We’re talking something more long lasting with a touch

of class.

Mini skirts are for teens and tweens, midi skirts are for women. No joke, there is something mature yet sexy about a long skirt like this.

Invest, invest, invest. Whether you go for the real deal or want to be more conscious to your animal friends and rock a faux one, a leather jacket is always

an essential styling piece to have on hand.

Like Stacy London and Clinton Kelly used to say on What Not to Wear, classic outfits can always be elevated to the next level with a nice pop of color and there

is nothing wrong with that pop of color coming from your feet!
