Perfect Your Wardrobe with These Basics (Part Two)

In case you thought I forgot the second half of this article- not to worry! Part two is coming right up. Better late than never ... at all! :)


The Polished Look is Classic and Sexy!

Are you heading to work, a business meeting, or is it time for a much deserved night on the town? Whatever the case may be, you’ll look polished and put together with these pieces of apparel.

· Classic shift dress
Stream lined and black, it is always a winner!


Skirts

1. Tailored pencil skirt
2. Dressy A-line skirt
3. Flirty tweed skirt

Important to note- The most flattering skirt length is considered to be just above the knee, or just brushing the middle of the knee.

Evening Dress

Think elegant

Floor length dresses are back in style again. A floor length dress that is simple in design is the way to go. What about color? A color such as metallic gold is classic and timeless (and suits most skin tones).

Undergarments

Seamless bra and panty set- A must for any woman.
Panty styles- Choose brief, bikini or thong

Cami- Sexy camisoles are such an essential, own more than one in a variety of colors (neutrals such as beige, white and of course black are the best colors to start with).

Chic Pantyhose Colors- Hosiery is mega important. Staple colors to keep on hand for day and nighttime wear include black opaque, black fishnet, black sheer, nude fishnet and nude sheer.

Footwear

· Sleek pointed toe pump
· Tailored low heel (pump) shoe

Pair your coat with a sleek pair of gloves
