the classic crime

In this post I will be describing the top three classic articles of clothing that every classy woman should have in her closet, she should also realize that not only should fashion be affordable, it should be versatile. So here is the list:

1. the blazer

Roll up the sleeves during the summer for a cool preppy look, and layer it with a sweatshirt in the winter, this is really the most versatile article of clothing that you can own in your wardrobe. You can dress it up or dress it down, but it will always look classic

2. the nude heel

This classic shoe choice is a timeless piece to have in your wardrobe. Just like the blazer, you can either dress it up, or dress it down but it will always look clean and put together. This is one item in your closet that you should spend a little more on to get a comfortable and stylish heel. It looks great with a pair of dark wash skinny jeans or glammed up with a stylish dress. The nice thing about nude heels are, you can wear any type of color (like either warm or cooler colors) with them and it will look great!

3. the base layer

To every good outfit there is a base layer, a starting blank canvas for statement pieces to be placed over. This can either be a nice t-shirt or tank to layer with cardigans, scarves or necklaces. Many times the focus is put on that one significant piece such as a jacket or jewelry and the most important layer (the base layer) is overlooked. You can find solid color tank or t-shirt pretty much anywhere. The versatility of a good base layer cannot be compared to any other article of clothing, it is truly a must have for any classy lady.
