Looking like a million bucks doesn’t have to cost a million bucks. By carefully picking a few “classic” pieces that can be used in several ways, you can really stretch your wardrobe… and your budget. To start our money savvy wardrobe, we look at a classic black dress, traditional gold necklace, and versatile neutral-tone sandals.
The Black Dress
A classic black dress is a must-have for any wardrobe. This type of dress is dressy enough for work, but can also be accessorized to wear for an evening out. Very plain and very sleek, this dress can take on several different looks with different color choice of scarves, bracelets, necklaces, or even a jacket/sweater.
The Gold Necklace
A chunky, gold necklace can really add a nice touch to a sweetheart neckline, like this dress has, or is even adaptable enough to wear with a casual outfit consisting of a summer blouse with capri pants.
The Neutral-Tone Sandals
I love neutral shoes– they literally go with any outfit, any colors. That means that you can afford to spend a bit more on the shoes because you will be able to get so much use out of them. What I really like about these sandals is the subtle gold sparkle on the heel. This makes them perfect for day-to-evening situations. You can wear them to work or to a cocktail party.
