The foundational pieces you need now

Easy to wear. sits well across from the table from a man - order size medium

the price on this and minimal hardware makes for an easy to wear leather jacket. Often they have belts around their waste and I love that this does not, those feel excessive to me.

Easy to wear multiple different ways.

Idk why I love these so much, but I personally want to own these even though I do think they are best for those with a flat stomach because they should hang low… I’m going to take one for the curvy team and try them

Good alternative for the dark full leg trend

Easy to wear jacket

Funky! So hot with a cotton t-shirt

Sexyyyyy

Uhhhhhh lameee this dress is only available in one size now but I’m obsessed with this whole collection by Donna Karen

Great for those that don’t want to show their arms

Cozy but runs super big

This cut is a home run and the velvet makes it an ultra easy go to for a lot of events

I love this to layer and have the dramatic collar popping out, serving as tactical jewelry. Be very mindful of where this hits you. It runs the risk of hitting some of us at our widest spot. It is OK to alter and shorten tops that have other fantastic qualities. Remember my goal is to buy smart and buy less.

This top is the Spanx infamous air essentials fabric that is to actually DIE for! I adore this fabric and have such a fun time introducing it to people because they are hooked immediately. They have a longer version that is nice as well, yet not the right cut for all body types, this one will work on anyone. I recommend starting with the black if you are going to choose one, however the white is NOT see through which is so flipping nice.

Notice how the rise of her denim is a high waisted denim, so this tank will hit shorter on you, It is no cropped, but defiantly shorter. I would suggest sizing up if you do not want them too tight.

This price point potentially could be sticker shock to some folks, yet the cost per wear is a no brainer. You can dress this up or down, wear it layered or on its own.

Buck Mason is my favorite t-shirt provider. They have great warm muted colors and soft fabrics. The fit is sexy feminine. I linked the two most flattering female cuts they provide, however you can not go wrong with any of their tees.

LOVE this Buck Mason color and this cut is my favorite for cropped denim. The way it meets the top of the denim is just perfect. However, if you do not like your stomach to show when you raise your arms , this is not for you. It will show a kiss of skin.

Quirky graphic tee from a waka du vendor, but they do graphic tees VERY well. I love this color story and funky energy. You can see the arm holes are a little wider, so if you are bustier it will look boxier, not in a bad way I just want to communicate that.

Do not even ask how I discovered this website LOL randommmmm beauty of working with a stylist is you will discover places to shop you never knew existed. I LOVE their graphic tees. The rest of the website is a woah.... and I would not try their shoes, yet the graphic tees are the bomb and well made.

This is great to own, regardless if it is white or not to have in your closet to wear with fitted skinny trousers, leggings or skinny denim.

This is a very affordable storefront to get blouses from. I love that you could pair this back with denim or skirts. They have it paired back to black, not my favorite, but not tragic.

Keep in mind this is a fragile shirt... aka not to be worn around kids :)

So much about this is fantastic. The elongated cuff detail is chef's kiss. The cropped button up is a favorite to style with because pants are typically high rise and so it can easily look bulky when you tuck in your button ups. A crop top button up eliminates that problem.

Satin skirts and blouses have really been a hit the last few seasons. Satin is a very fragile fabric so I feel more comfortable with encouraging the purchase at this price point. Satin is a great fabric, simply prone to stains or snags so If you are going to buy it rock it when you wear it and know each time it might be the last.

The weight of this sweater is delicious. Depending on where you live or where you are going you could wear this weight of a cashmere year round. This wears as well as a t-shirt, meaning it can be styled with skirts, trousers, denim, shorts... I can not think of anything it could not be styled with.

This comes in 4 colors and truly any color would add value to your wardrobe.

This is from the graphic tee retailer. This honestly does not look super soft, yet I love the graphic so much so like what the heck, sometimes you need to try something festive.

This snuggly number wears like a sweatshirt but does not look sloppy. These items are essential for days you want to be ultra casual, yet need to look put together.

I love wearing cardigans as a top. Checkout how I have styled it in the lookbook. This mushroom color is a great addition to the closet because you can pair it back with all colors.

Delicious shades of brown can be tricky to find. This has a burgundy undertone that makes this look so rich. I LOVE that there is no hardwear. It makes styling with this very simple.

I LOVE the weight of this for my southern girlies. It is a more modern take on the denim jacket. You can wear it with dresses, skirts, or denim.

The price point on this makes it a NO BRAINER. I love the minimal hardware and that there is no waist belt.

Great option for a winter coat.

Unique coats can be pricy this one is gorgeous, attention grabbing for the right reasons and affordable.

SO fun!!! I would style this more like a jacket and keep it on with the look. You of course could wear it as a coat and remove upon arrival, but I would encourage to make it part of your look. See Lookbook for inspiration.

Ok this dress made me smile BUG time! This will be ULTRA flattering and that slit is sexyyy but with the masculine stripe, super funky. The arm length is great for those who do not love to show their arms.

A satin dress can act as a great canvas piece. You can wear this dressed up, casual, layered, etc. I feel more comfortable recommending Satin dresses at this price point as the fabric is quite fragile.

This is that dress you grab and throw on time and time again. wear it with sandals, sneakers or even dress it up with heels. The arm holes even allow you to layer it with a blazer or something funky.

LOVE this for holiday parties or even a wedding. Festive, sassy, yet classy.

This is another style of LBD that is smart to own. Backyard bbq or to a wedding this dress can take you a lot of places depending on the accessories.

Some feel navy is softer for their lifestyle than black. This can take you to a back yard bbq or to a wedding depending on the accessories.

This has become Anthopolgies most sold dress of the year. It has been recreated in multiple prints and women are loving to throw it on and go.

The cut of this dress is ultra flattering. You could wear this as shown with a boot or take it into summer with a sandal. This fabric will travel really well.

Skirts are one of the hardest things to shop for. They just are not serving us a lot of great options these days and this one jumped out at me. I love how they brought it into winter with the boots, but would also love it in spring with light blues and some bare legs.

Wearing a funky printed pant can be the perfect look for a party of night out on the town. Fair warning I do not like the shirt they sold to match it, I do not think the fit will work on anyone.

Cargo pants are having a moment right now yet it is hard to find them not in an athliesure style. This fabric is super dressy and I had fun styling them. These are great for date night or even with a blazer for the office.

I highly encourage you owning a black or navy trouser. Super fun to wear with graphic tees and more casual than what most people think. This Spanx pair is like wearing butter on your bum.

Cotton trousers are ultra comfortable and style well for a variety of locations. If you are fatigued of your pants try something like this for a unique refresh.

I think a chunky sole would be enough height for these, but try to get an elongated toe box.

Charcoal gray is another option for a fresh color instead of blue jean. Make sure you have a shoe in mind before committing to this style of leg opening.

Ok sooooo this is my WILD CARD! Every fitting I bring a wild card piece for my client. A wild card is something my gut simply connects with and my client is normally afraid of it and I push their style, it creates a great conversation and sometimes it works, some times it is a learning experience. I love this because it feels like a trouser and could be dressed up, yet paired back with a moto boot and graphic tee and you have an edgy look. Check out how I styled them in the Lookbook.

Great wash, adorable kick flair. I love how they styled this with the booties. Super cute but it would also look great with sneakers. These are a GREAT basic denim.

Make sure you have shoes in mind before buying a pair of wide leg denim. This is the style that clients get excited to buy and then when we work together they need me to get them shoes to complete the look.

If you need a tried and true simple denim this pair is IT! The little kick flare makes it a more interesting pair of denim. The wash is dark and clean, the rise is high and just everything about these truly are a perfect pair of denim.

It can be very tricky to find a great jumpsuit and this one has worked on every person I have tried. I love this color for a sophisticated take on a workwear piece.

I personally own the black version. To be honest it faded pretty quick, so if that bothers you, be aware. I like how it faded though because it makes it feel more utilitarian.

Part of the air essentials collection I love styling this with jackets for a comfy cute run around look.

Part of the air essentials set. This is delicous! This is what the outfit looks like as a set, yet the link takes you to the top. I have seen every color in person and this one excited me the most.

Available in regular, petite and tall. A stylist dream. These are ultra comfortable and ideal for travel outfits. You are in sweats yet look polished.

These are my favorite PJs. I did not expect to love them as much as I did. I felt so mature buying matching set of PJs but I genuinely love having them for family holidays and travel PJs with friends. I just feel cute and breakfast ready and not exposed in flimsy fabrics.

Notes on these are on the long sleeve pair but the shorts pair is what I actually own and LOVE.

It is hard to find a unique sneaker. This is for athletic purposes but you could run around town and still serve style.

I love the flirty feminine color way, yet this still works as a neutral.

The price point on these are fantastic and the color pallet is neutral.

What why who am I but I want. Maybe it’s from living in austin …

I would encourage you to order this much larger than a wait size, get it to fit on your hips and wear it with graphic tees or blouses tucked in for a surprise pizaz.

It is a Bottega inspired, but this one particularly will go over your shoulder and it is great for an everyday bag.
