Ten Things...

...a black blazer... a leopard print scarf... a striped tee... a statement necklace... a little black dress .. an over sized watch... a classic trench... a leather skirt... a chambray shirt... a pair of nude heels...

These are the ten things that Elle from Impossible Blonde thinks every woman should have in her wardrobe..

I agree with most of them, but would change a few slightly...

... a black blazer... a fun printed scarf... a striped top... a piece of statement jewelry .. a little black dress... a classic coat/jacket... a pencil skirt... a perfect grey t-shirt... a pair of classic blue jeans...

I do agree with the nude heels, but could probably put together a list of the ten SHOES every woman needs in her closet! Patent black pumps, sharp ankle boots, a summery wedge, a statement skyscraper and the list goes on...!! 

As much as I love leopard, not a lot of people do, so as long as you have a scarf you can throw on for that extra "something!", that should do it... I am also a sucker for a grey tee and jean combo, so i had to include those two pieces! 

What would your ten items be?!

dark and light...

... loving all things dark and simple at the moment... usually i am one for colour, and prints and bright nails, but lately it has been all about the blacks and grey with the occasional stripe or splash of deep red thrown in... not sure if it is the cooler weather, or just my mood, but i feel a lil older, quieter... wonder how long this phase will last, or if it is here to stay...

pics from my new favourite tumblr's Pure Vanilia and Haute Innocence

these are a few of my favourite things...

... so after picking up some items on my latest wish list - khaki green pants from asos and classic converse sneakers from General Pants - I have been very happy with the state of my 

current ( non-work) wardrobe... 

...so I got to thinking about what else I need to really make it complete...

 ... bright wedges AND grey heels - both on sale at Tony Bianco here and here...

 ... flat black sandals - new in at Witchery here ...

... pretty printed skirts - White Suede Neoprene Flip Skirt available here

... MORE STRIPES!!! Tees from Country Road here and here... 

... yes, i think the above will do just nicely! 

...also just remembered my fab new shoes purchased slightly tipsy with Miss J after our work Christmas function and the new-everyday-watch on its way to me next week... oops... lets just say I am buying my own presents this year shall we...!!

... now to leave you with a fab image from one of my fav sites - Paula from LifeStyled, totally rocking a two tone khaki jacket... which I may or may not have bookmarked to visit after next pay week...
