The Perfect Ten are the classic pieces that every woman should have in her wardrobe. They will take you from day-to-night and transition from season-to-season.
1. The Black Pantsuit will give you maximum use because you can wear these pieces separately. Invest in a quality tailored pantsuit or a black suit jacket with matching skirt or pants. Select one that reflects your style and personality.

2. The Perfect Pair of Jeans in a dark rinse can be dressed up or down. Choose a pair that fits well and flatters your assets.
3. Plain Black Pumps that can take you from the office to happy hour are a must-have in your closet.
4. A White Shirt is always stylish whatever way you wear it. From the basic white-tee, to a tailored collared shirt, a great white shirt is a must have.
5. A "Big" Leather Bag large and sturdy enough to carry your essentials for the office; weekend errands and traveling.
6. The Little Black Dress is a great piece that can be dressed up for that last minute cocktail party or worn casually.

7. The Pencil Skirt is a classic piece that flatters every woman's figure in all the right places. When selecting a pencil skirt, the hem should hit about an inch above the knee.

8. Thomas Burberry designed the first Trench Coat in 1901, as a raincoat for army officers. Since then this raingear has become synonymous with class and style. It is versatile and comes in a variety of fabric and color options.
9. When you buy a pair of knee high boots, you can be assured that those boots will always be in fashion. Whether you wear your knee high boots with skirts or pants, you'll feel stylish and chic in your boots.

10. A Signature Piece that reminds people of you. High heels, a pearl necklace, a short haircut, the list goes on. It should be all you and reflects your personality. My signature piece is my rose gold Michael Kors Watch amd my short haircut.

Love this post! Great jacket! I love that you kept the skirt and top neutral and let the jacket stand out! Great post! For me I have to have the perfect classic peacoat (Michigan weather), great oversized handbag, and neutral pumps!

I love this list! I dont have all of these items, but I am getting there, I think. What I like best is that you included #10, because we are all unique, so our perfect 10 should be, too.
ReplyDeleteLove the Marc Jacobs suit and his use of the BROOCH! (My new jewelry staple!)

ReplyDeleteSpot on Kay. I have all of these.

Yes! This is a fab post. It has everything a girl needs. Like Kim Kardashian's hair and body. Oh, you were talking about her bag :)
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike... I created a similar list of the "Essential Eight." http://mattieologie.com/2010/11/16/mattie-memo-the-essential-eight/Nina Garcia was the inspiration behind this with her Little Black Book of Style.
Oh yeah, don't ever wear that Michael Kors watch around me. It will come up missing. LOL.

Oh... I need to add a couple of things to my wardrobe! Love this list :)
ReplyDeletePlease come style me at www.styledbyu.blogspot.com
much love,

This is a great list! For me, I need the perfect pair of sunglasses. I've had one pair for 3 years now...luckily they're holding up pretty well. When they finally give out on me I'm not sure what I'll do!!
