Here is a list of essential items that every woman with a passion for fashion must own and work into her individual style.

Black blazer
A black tailored blazer is feminine, classic and versatile. It looks good on all body types, and adds an immediate twist to your outfit. Pair it with jeans, slacks or a skirt, or lay it over your shoulders on top of a cute little dress. Find one that embraces your shape and curves.

Little black dress
Invest in one that is unique and stands out. For a sophisticated look, look for the shape, detail and fabric. For a more classic version, opt for one that is more non-descript. Dress it up with some statement piece jewelry and cool accessories, or dress it down with cool sneakers and a denim or leather jacket. Do not be scared to invest in an expensive black dress - it will go a long way and serve you well.

Stilettos
Go for pointy-toed, suede, patent or plain leather. Wear and match it easily with everything, from your fitted cropped jeans to your little dress, skirt or slacks.

Flats
Flats are a girl’s best friend. Wear them with a sequin dress for a daring fashion statement, a pleated midi skirt, an A-line skirt, wide-leg pants, cool ripped jeans or denim shorts.

Shirt / blouse
Choose a plain one and go for neutral colors: black, white or nude. It takes you easily from working mode to party animal. If wearing a shirt, add a big cuff and statement rings or statement earrings. For your blouse, add a statement necklace. Wear both with literally anything.

Statement jewelry
Wear a statement necklace over any simple t-shirt or top and instantly elevate your look. Or add statement earrings and chunky cocktail rings to sass your outfit.
