As busy women of the world we often have a million and one pressing items on our to-do list and we must lend ourselves to many a role: super mum, taxi driver, career girl, party princess, domestic goddess, fitness buff, web guru…. so whats a girl to do when it comes to simplistic, everyday wearable style? Make these basics part of your wardrobe and you can achieve functional yet elegant chic style, even on the most manic of mornings. Each of these wardrobe essentials can also be layered, and dressed up or down – a must these days as wardrobe versatility is key. Looking good doesn't need to be expensive, difficult or time consuming – check out these effortlessly chic basics:
White T-Shirt & Blue Jeans
The classic. This look can work on anyone: work it to show off your best assets… Pick out the perfect jeans for your body & make sure the t-shirt you choose is fitted but not clingy. The last thing you are trying to achieve here is a muffin top (ie. your gorgeous curves protruding out from under your tight tshirt and over the top of those jeans). You want womanly curves, not hoochie mama!
Black Wrap Dress
A black dress can be a true fashion lifesaver when you need to dress things up just a touch. We all know black is slimming, and you can accentuate your curves by choosing a dress that has a tie to cinch in at your waist. You can be as bold or demure as you want – dress it up with sexy makeup and some killer heels, or go a little more everyday casual with some classy flats and a more natural face, with just a bit of foundation and blush.

Throw a classic trench on over just about anything and it can take your look from drab to fab! Pulling in at your middle, this look will have you working your curves and looking fabulous even when it is bitterly cold out! Winter doesn't have to mean puffy layering, and with the trench you can stay warm and womanly. An essential and a classic, spending a little more on a decent quality trench is an investment, as this is one item that will never go out of style.
