1. Denim skirt

You can't go wrong with a classic denim skirt. I love that they are not only back in style, but in such a wide variety of styles, i.e. patchwork, pencil, button- down, embroidered. There's basically something to satisfy everyone!

2. Embroidered Leather Jacket

I personally believe that everyone needs a leather or faux leather jacket in their closet. I wear mine all the time. The embroidered details on this one make it look much more expensive and give this edgy piece a feminine touch.

3. Cropped Wide Leg Jeans

You guys know how I feel about cropped jeans. I love the way they make your legs appear longer and they work great with ankle boots. These ones have a very on-trend raw hem and subtle patchwork detailing on the bottom. I'm also seeing a lot more flare and wide leg fits these days. Are skinny jeans' days numbered?? I doubt it, but people are definitely beginning to branch out more.

4. Boyfriend Blazer

Every working girl needs a blazer. A typical black blazer is a must, but I also love the looser fit and soft heather grey color of this one. Makes it the perfect transitional piece.

5. Eyelet Button-Up Shirt

I wear button-ups all the time, so I'm always looking for shirts with a little something extra, so that my style doesn't seem too monotonous. The eyelet detailing and bell sleeves on this one keep things interesting, while still maintaining a crisp, classic look.

6. Slip-On White Sneakers

I recently did a post about how to dress down a dress. You can read it here. I think clean white sneakers are the perfect addition to make a dress appear casual. I love how the black stripe across the front of these makes them not look like a simple pair of Vans, but rather a more high-end sneaker.

7. Studded Ankle Boots

Ankle boots have been everywhere for the past several years. Most of us probably have at least one pair, but I doubt many of us have a pair that wraps around the ankle and has studs, like these! I love the juxtaposition of the way the studs toughen them up and the ankle strap softens them.

8. Pointed Toe Bow Flats

A classic pair of black flats is essential, and of course, you could always go simple and traditional, but why not take a walk on the wild side and up your shoe game with these?? I also think the bow makes them feel very reminiscent of a certain other much more expensive pair of shoes...

9. Striped Tee

No matter how much my style changes and evolves, I will never not love a striped tee and jeans look. In the past, I wore strictly black and white stripes. Nowadays, I think it's fun to change things up a bit. I'm currently loving red and white horizontal stripes and red and white vertical stripes.

10. Black T-Shirt Dress

Every woman needs an LBD; possibly even several, depending on how frequently you wear them. I love the drop waist on this one, making a standard t-shirt dress a little bit flirty and fun.
