Make sure you own these basics …
and most importantly, make sure theyâre updated.  We all have so much black in our closets, and for good reason.  Itâs the backbone of a complete wardrobe. But if donât have one of these pieces, without a doubt youâll be missing out on stylish outfits no matter what season it is. So stock up!
I first spotted this stylish blogger (below) a few months ago, and knew right away I must recreate her outfit. And while I already had this favorite tee (I wrote about it here), the skirt is what actually makes the outfit. Itâs so simple, and can be worn from work to drinks to dinner. Itâs surprising how many compliments Iâve received! Â And we all like that, donât we?
So hereâs how to stay stylish!

Make sure you own a great black t-shirt
Favorites include any ATM, Rag and Bone, or Vince t-shirt. Since black doesnât get dirty as easily as white, I think itâs ok to spend a little bit more.  This tee is the one Iâve worn many times – sometimes a few days in a row!  Itâs worth every penny.
Then make sure you have a black blouse or two
If youâve been in âRoom 3â with me, youâve probably heard me say how important it is.  We all look SO GOOD in a beautiful black blouse, whether youâre wearing it with leather pants or your favorite denim.  I love this shirt style by Vince, and this Paige style is different enough that you could own it too!!
Onto the skirt update
There are many interesting skirts this season, and by adding a simple wrap skirt or a silky bias cut skirt to your wardrobe, you will have an instant update! Â Read more on skirts here.
Add some faux leather
This is the trend Iâm most excited about this fall. Â (Well, there are probably a few other trends I love too, but faux leather is pretty cool.) Â I am definitely adding a skirt like this one, and maybe even a jacket! Â A faux leather piece literally makes any outfit look updated and stylish.

And a great black blazer
This is a staple piece, and since weâre seeing blazers everywhere right now, make sure you have a good one. Â Of course I still love the Veronica Beard Dickey jacket, but now thereâs this one Iâm really excited about! Â I wrote about it here. I feel confident saying EVERYONE should own a great black blazer!
