So how do you turn these classic staples into wow?!
This is where it can get tricky and you could turn out looking perfectly cool and polished on a good day or perfectly ridiculous if you don't keep it under control, as in don't wear all the shiny patterned accessories at once! Choose carefully and feel completely confident of your choice... then work it.
Choose a few color pop items to take your classic colors from so so to WOW without looking like a clown.
For example a turquoise scarf, a ruby clutch, cobalt trousers, or leopard pumps make an all black outfit fun, sexy, and unique, or wear those same pumps with ankle rolled denim and slouchy t-shirt for a laid back french fashion editor vibe.
You can't go wrong with a great modern looking leather jacket, it instantly gives you panache, youth, and "hipness" wether it's paired with jeans a tee and some sexy kitten heels, or dressed up with a chic skirt, blouse and cute ankle boots.
I also love this pop of pumpkin in an otherwise all black ensemble, so cool and euro-chic.
