The Top Five Items You Need This Fall

Recently, I decided to fill the void in my passion for fashion and got a part-time job with a clothing boutique. I enjoy boutiques because they are quaint, interpersonal, and have an intimate atmosphere. Clothing boutiques give customers a luxury experience, royal treatment, and pristine customer service. The boutique I work at target market is for the mature, sophisticated woman who loves quality clothes and accessories. 

White House Black Market was introduced to me in my 30s. I wanted to change my look, so I stumbled upon this boutique when I lived in South Carolina. Upon relocating back to South Carolina this year, I knew it was time to uplevel my wardrobe, and just like that, WHBM became a part of my life again. 

Here are a couple of Fall pieces I recommend for your everyday wardrobe at White House Black Market :

✨Item 1: Jeans

Every woman needs a quality pair of jeans that sustains the test of time in every season. I think jeans are essential in your wardrobe to dress up or down. Jeans are multifacet throughout any season.

✨Item 2: Rib Dress

Sweater dresses are usually the go to dresses for the fall/winter season however, ribbed dresses are the way to go. This particular sleeveless dress is a staple piece you can wear casually or jazz it up for a night on the town with your favorite accessories.

✨Item 3: Military Blazer

Whether it is a blazer, blue jean jacket or cardigan I believe this is a vital piece to add to your wardrobe. This particular jacket at WHBM has a miltary style design that can be paired with your favorite jeans, casual t-shirt or cami with a pair of ankle boots, flats or heels.

Item 4: Simple Black Boots

✨Whether the boots are ankle length or taller they are a signature piece to add to your fall wardrobe.

Item 5: Accessories

✨Accessories are the glue that pulls your outfit together; whether it is a headpiece/headband, glasses, watch, earrings, necklace, scarf, or purse, they impact bringing your wardrobe together.

Fashion Tips For Being Authentically You…..

When asked by a fellow colleague who were my inspiration for fashion I smiled and thought there are many people who inspire my fashion however, the two women I can say that I admire in fashion is Sarah Jessica Parker and Angela Bassett. Although, I have a long list of fashionistas, I believe these two celebs inspire me the most in my fashion choices. Fashion is like art it is expressed through layers and layers of clothing to convey the mood you are currently in. 

Fashion is a state of being & style is a state of mind so in the chaos of trying to keep up with the trends below are tips to help you be you in fashion during this fall!

Fashion Tips For Being Authentically You….

1) Embrace your style & fashion. It’s funny that people believe there are rules to fashion but in order to acquire a style of your own break the rules and develop your own sense of fashion.

2) Wear the colors you feel good in. Yes it’s true Pantone put out the colors for the season but you can wear colors this fall that make you feel alive. Do not get caught in the wrong or rights of this fall fashion scheme.

3) Be a virgin to fashion. As you grow & develop  your fashion and style will always evolve. Do not be afraid to clean out your closet & start from scratch to create a wardrobe that signifies the person you are today!

4) If all else fails wear black. Black is classic, comfortable and chic so if you are not into adding anything new to your wardrobe palette wear black. If you decide to wear black put a pop of color into the mix to give it a warm but bold feeling this fall.
