How to have a Closet of Never-ending Outfits

What are some of the items that you would find in most women's closet?

A long sleeved denim shirt

A Button-downed shirt - (two - one color, one white)

A sheath dress (aka a straight or shift style dress)

A great fitting pair of jeans

A tailored jacket

A pair of khakis

A flirty skirt

A stripe t-shirt and a plain one

A pair of Converse

A pair Sneakers

A pair of flats

Tanks tops

High heels

A scarf

A sweater

A pair of dress trousers
A pair of leggings

Now, what other pieces could you add to those basic pieces that you already own? Here is what I would add:

Your skirt should be a flirty A-line skirt in a print or plain - or both.

A white dress…it could be another sheath dress or an A-line one.

You can get a dressy pair of sneakers, either Keds or Vans

And, more heels; you should have, a two-inch or three-inches for work; a four inches for dress-up, and super skinny stilettos for those "knock-em-dead" moments, in nude, black or red.

You can never have too many tank tops - add a silky or dressy type. This one is cropped!

You should also own a nice pair of ankle boots and/or booties. I'm loving these Python ones!

Remember that everyone needs a bejeweled sweater for those holiday moments!

Trousers can be with prints, make it a fun pattern for a bit of adventure, why not?

You could add another pair of flat shoes. It should be a nice pair of dressy loafers, either bejeweled or patent. Don't forget belts. Leather belts with buckle, or skinny ones will do too.

Along with your basics, these new additions should seal the deal for a never-ending closet of outfits! What do you think? Which would you wear, or not?

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November 2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided. Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little tête-à-tête with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4, beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of! ...

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

Shoes, Fabulous Shoes!

There's nothing like a great pair of shoes that finishes an outfit. You can have on the most darling outfit, but if you don't have the right shoes to go with it, well, somehow you end up feeling like, "Meh", to quote the perfect noncommittal, blah expression! Men of the world, there's one thing you must know, shoes makes the outfit, that's why we women have a variety of them! In my quest for nude-colored shoes this season, here are two looks I love from Elle.com "Best Spring Heels" feature. Suede wide-strap wedges from the Gap - $89.99 [Mark Platt photo] You can never go wrong with Platforms! If you love having a high heel without the stilts, wedges are the way to go! Paulina Cork Sandal heels from Bebe - $98.00 [Mark Platt photo] Although the linked article is from last year, the color and style are pretty on point for today's look! The height of the heel is balanced by the platform at the base of the shoe. Take ...
