ALL IN THE DETAILS: Contemporary Classic

Classic key pieces are always a smart investment when building a foundation for your wardrobe. These clothes can be reworn repeatedly or sit in your closet for years without ever going out of style. An easy way to pick out classic pieces is to stick to neutral-toned basics. Once you form a solid basis, you can start working your way up to more defining  pieces that help exemplify your style. This could be bolder and edgier accessories to enhance your outfit or even casual accessories to tone it down. Whatever your modern day twist is to your timeless look, it will be a sure hit.

This Fashionista took a contemporary spin on a basic, gray asymmetrical dress. She brought her outfit to life by pairing the dress with a gray bowler hat, black pistol boots and gold jewelry. The neutral color scheme brings both a classic and contemporary effect because of its universal simplicity. Her jersey knit dress created a casual, yet timeless look and the fabric of it is perfect for summer. By matching the dress with her hat and shoes and adding a necklace and earrings, she added sophistication and pulled her outfit together in a polished way.
