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?!

hats off...

... loving these street style pics of ladies in black hats... i think the fancy name for them is a fedora... love how they add that lil "something" to an ordinary, simple outfit...

... can i pull one off though? that is the question..

...buy this super cute felt cap from asos HERE or the gorgeous wool fedora from lack of color HERE...

you must be used to me spendin'...

... have had a lovely Saturday - delicious breakfast then some extremely successful sporadic shopping, followed by some ciders in the sun then some old school tunes whilst catching up on all the pretty pictures i missed this week, being crazy busy at work...

 

.... am currently thinking i need a cozy fur vest to get through this winter... faux or otherwise...

...also still obsessed with all sorts of berry goodness - burgundy smoked eyes, wine lips and dark red or purple nails... looks oh-so-fab against my current black & grey wardrobe...

... mmmm... my fashion wish list is never complete is it?!  nighty night lovers...

All pics found through Google

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...

... panelled/leather pants, capped heels, anything printed and a nude tote...

...love...

- my "Hot & Spicy" OPI nails...but not loving the fact that I have to take it off as it doesn't match the dress I want to wear out tomorrow night... what a hard life I lead...!!

... Blake Lively for Chanel... What a lucky lucky girl...!!

... the "perfect-imperfect" birds nest top knot...

...this bag!!! Oh and Leighton, of course...

Am also loving...

- yet another maxi skirt that was added to my collection today! AND the fact that it was on super sale! Grey, fitted, the slightly flared at the bottom and oh-so-long... LOVE!

- the three rings I picked up for $5 each today... when most of them were marked down from $24.95... LOVE!

- making plans with people I enjoy spending time with... LOVE!
