Dress like a Lady with the BASIC CLASSICS. (PRIMARY NEUTRALS) Part 1

These days there is such a negative connotation when it comes to anything basic. When basically the person who considers another, basic is paying close attention to their basic ways so who’s the basic one?

All of that aside EVERYTHING begins with the basics including fashion. Use your basic wardrobe as a base and build up by layering. I know it’s still mid summer, however, autumn is fast approaching (in most circles fashion runways have already been lit) in early July. Zimmerman, one of my favorite houses had their showing about 1 week ago.

Here is the first basic in this series which I think will help your wardrobe easily transition from Fall to Winter, showcase your accessories, and highlight your style. The long sleeved cotton top.

These shirts go great with everything as long as you purchase them in the primary neutral colors such as grey, black, white or tan, they look good dressed up or down. Below are some examples. I like the Mossimo brand available at Walmart, however, you can also find the shirts at H&M, Forever 21, and outlets like Asos. Accessories are available here. Happy shopping.

Shoes!! Shoegasm featuring Designer Shoe Warehouse 30% off sale. #DSW

I love a good shoe and I was on a mission; to prepare myself and wardrobe for a special event. Few things make me feel better than purchasing them at a lower price. This could explain why I always wait until the last fashion season ends to to buy them.

Got these beauts from Designer Shoe Warehouse affectionately known as DSW. They are comfortable heels no higher than 3.5 inches. See, once I got out of my late 30’s my ankles couldn’t take 4 inches any more so I got my heel height down to a science. If I can run in my shoes, I chose well because I like to be active and to be able to walk about in my heels without looking like Bambi, stammering and what not, that’s not attractive.

Fact is, just because they are lower heels doesn’t mean they can’t be sexy (I will style them for you later) But for now all of the heels that I will picture were lower than $40.

Sidebar:  I have on the stockings the store provides for sanitary reasons. Tap on the pictures for name of product. PLEASE BE ADVISED KELLY & KATIE shoes are true to size. I had to buy larger sizes because my size was available only online and I waited until last minute. SMH.
