The Infinite 8

In FWF'S Infinite 8 on 02/11/2009 at 22:08

Just like the seasons, fashion is always changing. I know it can be overwhelming (and expensive) to keep up, so I have devised this handy little list of 8 staple pieces every wardrobe must have!

1) Little Black Dress: Tried, tested, and true! No wardrobe is complete without one. Weather your figure is pear shaped, boyish, or petite the LBD will always make you look like a PYT.

2) Crisp White Blouse: The simple truth is that this crisp white blouse from Alexander McQueen is simply tasteful.  You can head on over to your favorite retailer, and buy one that looks very similar, at a price point that suits you.

3) Flattering Jeans: OK, here’s the deal–I could go on for years about the DO’s and DONT’s of  jeans , but life is short! Please take an honest friend with you, a real friend…your camera when you go shopping for jeans! -Godspeed

4) Black Pumps: They work with almost every outfit. They’re sleek, sassy, and sexy. Best of all they work year round, rain or shine–just like everything else on FWF’S “Infinite 8″ list. Click here and look at how fabulous the overlooked black pump can be. It can change your life! Kidding)-

5) Gold Watch: Every woman should own a gold watch. Gold looks good on every one, it’s warm, radiant, and really gives your wrist that little extra somethin’! Besides it makes you look like you care about your time, as well as others’. Time is invaluable, you can never get it back, so be fashionably on time. I personally like a chunkier men’s gold watch.

6) Pearl Necklace: These images of  Michelle Obama say it all. Three completely different looks, same pearl necklace. Way to do your part in the recession!

7) Light Brown Stachel (doesn’t have to be designer, but I do love Chanel’s): A light brown satchel is understated, and sophisticated. I love the EARTHiness of the color, paired with the strength of its geometric shape. As women we often have to balance our softer feminine side with our powerful intellect. This bag says all that, and a whole lot more.

8) Crest White Strips: No look is complete without an amazing smile, so be sure to keep your pearly whites their whitest.

Now just take a second to really think about the simplicity and effectiveness of these 8 pieces. Ladies it’s serious out there, so be sure to arm yourself with FWF’S Infinite 8, and you will NEVER be overlooked by a guy, your boss, even yourself again!

About Joan:

Joan’s designs blend tradition with a contemporary aesthetic. References to nature and classical forms come alive with a freshness created through scale, balance, color and movement.
