Who doesn’t like a comfortable, warm cardigan on a chilly fall day? Get yourself one in a neutral color so you can wear it with many different outfits. Cardigans look great with jeans or skirts alike. Bonus: belted or fitted cardigans will help whittle your waist and make you look thinner!

I firmly believe every woman should own a pair of classic, black satin heels. They can be worn with anything and everything! Go for a heel that’s a perfect medium length, not too high, not too short. Sky-high heels are not as versatile, while smaller heels don’t look as professional. But choose something that you will be happy with, as these shoes will definitely get worn a lot!

Want to be super stylish in your jewelry selections? Go with a pearl necklace! Pearls are elegant no matter your age. Choose a short strand of pearls for dressier affairs and a long single or double strand for casual affairs. You can even pull off a long pearl necklace with a tee and a cardigan!

If you have all these basics in your wardrobe, you’re good to go! You can then build around these pieces, adding fun and trendy stuff to complete your look. Don’t rush out and buy everything at once, it’s a slow process, picking up pieces here and there until you have a nicely rounded closet. Do you have any other wardrobe essentials I ought to know about? Something I left out of my list?
