Effortless style for those that find it an effort? Time and money are issues for most of us- we want to look put- together without being a slave to the mirror or debt collectors. Simple rules create the foundation for dressing with ease. The outfit (left) is from Refinery29.com (an amazing reference for fashion enthusiasts). It demonstrates that key pieces can be combined in fresh ways for maximum milage for your wardrobe and no unnecessary cringing when you refer back to photos of yourself in 5yrs. time! Get a great fitting black bottom (the best quality you can afford) and pair it with a neutral topper- skinny belts and interesting small scale patterns on blouses keep it contemporary without looking too trendy.
