-Fashion-Forward-Friday- ::: Ultimate Classics :::

The Timeless Staples


Once you have your closet essentials down, it's worth stocking up on pieces that will always look great, no matter the trend du jour. Think versatility, longevity, and everlasting appeal- the clothing that style setters from Catherine Deneuve to Kate Moss have always relied on. 


*White Tees: They are the all-American standard. You'll always find uses for basic tees, whether atop denim on weekends or with a dressy skirt for a sporty edge. They're also the ground work for layering.


*Cashmere Cardigans: As a part of a sweater set or in a longer V-neck grandpa cut, a button-up sweater offers the most adaptability- perfect with a pencil skirt for work, sexy at night with nothing underneath or as a cocktail-dress topper, and a great layering piece for casual days. Classic colors- camel, navy, black, and gray- will get more wear than brights or patterns.


*White Jeans: A more glamorous take on the basic jean, these clean pants are effortlessly cool. All they need is a cashmere V-neck on top for a jet-set aura. They even work in the winter paired with a cozy knit or fur.


*Shift Dress: Think Jackie O's simple, pared-down, but polished style. The minimal frock couldn't be easier to wear- working with a blouse or a tee under, with flats or pumps- making it a no-brainer for every woman's wardrobe.


*Trench Coat: It's the ultimate symbol of chic- loved by woman young, old, curvy, slim, conservative, or edgy. It's a versatile piece that is at the same time practical, glamorous, and cool. Whether you wear it over worn-in jeans or a fancy dress, you're sure to look sophisticated.

It is not my intention to make this post entirely about Jackie O or her endless and timeless  style, however, I started searching and couldn't simply find one picture to post of this iconic fashionista. And?! She deserves a little bit more of a write up than I am currently capable of, and although she has been covered endlessly and praised upon everywhere; I figured the pictures do the most judging and Jackie O's got it!!!


Now?! Have a wonderful weekend where I hope you enjoy dinners in (or out), event hosting (or attending), cocktail tasting (or downing), and may you always be dressed the n9nes in any occassion. Because?!...you deserve to be!


Happy Friday and Have a Great, well dressed to impress Weekend!
