I am not a big color person, but this color speaks to me. Mustard yellow. Also loving canary yellow for its crisp and bright benevolence. Both look georgous with grey or black (the closet staple colors) and with red lips or nails, ohhhh yes. Dress, amazon.com, Vintage coat, etsy.com
The chunky "boyfriend watch" is in again and I think will never go out of style. There are so many styles but the simplest face and band is what I look for; it is easier to put with many different clothing or other jewelry. Get it in your price point, silver or gold! all found at Nordstrom
Cool "riding coat" and lightweight scarves at amazon.com, Tory Birch shoes on ebay, so fun. Pick and choose your fun items after you've bought the basics. I like sort of classic-fun so that they last for a while...Oh and sometimes the scarf can be a table cloth or an accent throw on the couch or ottoman.
Getting back to the basics every once in a while refreshes your wardrobe and makes it so much easier to dress. Keep them in one area of your closet for easy access. I could wear a tee shirt or tank and jeans forever, its the accessories that count! The great selections are from GAP.com.
The must-have european striped shirt at JCrew, a sleek wedge and cool gladiator heel by Nine West, and dressy going-out shirt with lots of cute pleating by Ann Taylor.
