Everyone should own a great white shirt - whether you're wearing it as a shirt under a jacket, casually tucked into a pair of jeans, or belted as an oversized shirtdress.  We paired our white shirt with a great pair of cropped trousers with pleating on the front to update the classic khaki. If you're feeling more adventurous you can add an animal print bag or a colourful scarf to liven up the look.

All of these items are likely in your closet right now, or have been at some point in your life!  These items are perennial classics and are perfect when paired with a current trend or colour to be timely and appropriate.  Androgynous pieces (think Diane Keaton in Annie Hall or Katherine Hepburn) that fit well are always flattering and are great paired with flirty, feminine pieces that bring these pieces into the now!

Tiny paillettes offer an instant update on the little black dress with a fabulous three-dimensional look.  Add a great pair of coloured heels for a pop of colour, or keep it unexpected with a pair of nude heels to visually elongate the leg.
