1. Invest in Basics- building a well verse wardrobe starts with good basics. You will always have something to wear.

Invest in pieces that are high quality so that they will last you a while. If you need help getting started, shop our Basics Collection.

3. Don't Buy into Trends- We set consumers tend to let others tell us what is fashionable and dictate what we should wear season after season. Don't fall into that rut. Develop your own style and then add in trendy pieces where it makes sense. For example, add a trendy bag to a simple outfit. Don't overdue it with the trends. The key is to make it look effortless.
