Four Style Tips for Building a Wardrobe

Today, I am sharing four STYLE tips to make the most of what you buy and wear. 

1. Buy classic STAPLES.

I am trying to shop more for quality, staple pieces that I will wear for several years. One of my favorite wardrobe staples is my leather moto jacket. I have owned if for a few years, and I wear it year-round.  In the spring, I layer it over short sleeve tees, and the winter I layer a fur vest or blanket scarf over it for extra warmth.

2. Buy items to MIX & MATCH.

I try to buy items that I can mix and match with other items in my closet - so that I get the most wear out of them.  My grey jeans are probably one of my most versatile jeans.  I recently shared in this post how to wear grey jeans 5 different ways.

3. Invest in QUALITY Pieces.

I like to buy designer jeans.  To me, they are an investment that I will have for many years.  They are my splurge; but when it comes to buying designer jeans, I do not pay full price. I shop around, and I only buy them when they are on sale.  Two of my favorite places to buy designer jeans for under $100 are Saks Off Fifth and Last Call Neiman Marcus.

4. Add a POP of color.

I believe adding a pop of color, like red to any looks makes a statement.  It stands out.  If you do not like red, you can always opt for orange or yellow, or even a blue or green.
