BAG // SCARF // SIMILAR JACKET // TOP // JEANS // WATCH C/O

Classic carryall: The question I get asked most often is what is a great bag that won’t go out of style I can use for work? Since this is something you will carry daily, I think it is a good idea to invest in something classic like this in black leather with a zipper and an attachable strap.

Leather Jacket: My leather jacket is something I wear most regularly in my closet. I wear mine day and night and love the relaxed edgy vibe it adds to any outfit.

Cashmere scarf: This is perfect for the office, out to dinner and travel.

  Layering top: Everyone needs a few basic black tops for layering.  My favorite this year has been this topshop turtleneck.

Skinny jeans: I wear mine almost everyday.

Leather watch: A black leather watch looks polished and professional. This one from timex is a great price point.

Over the knee boots: Black suede over the knee boots are another great basic to have in the closet. I wear mine day and night with both dressed and jeans.
