Tried & True: 6 Solid, Seasonless Staples

These purchases have stood the test of time: versatile, seasonless, high quality.

1. Athleta Strata Skirt

Athleta Strata Skirt, $64

I wear this skirt for play and work year-round. I pair it with leggings and a t-shirt for running around; I wear it with a dressy sweater or cardigan for work. Comes in regular, petite, tall, and plus sizes in 5 colors.

2. Joe Fresh Print A-Line Skirt

J. C. Penny Joe Fresh Print A-Line Skirt, $10.99

You can wear this skirt year round for work or play. Add tights & boots in the winter. Wear it with a black crewneck (see below), gray tee, white, or coral.

3. J. Crew Factory Pullover

J. Crew Factory Cotton Charley Sweater, $24.50

All-season cotton

4. Urban Outfitters Skinny Jean in White

Urban Outfitters BDG Cigarette Mid-Rise Jean, $54

White goes with everything. These skinny jeans don't make you look fat.

5. Boden Fringe Detail Dress

Boden Fringe Detail Dress, $88.80

I wear this dress for casual, dressy, and--that most difficult of genres--in-between events. Made of cotton, it looks equally nice with and without a layer underneath, so it really is a multiseasonal piece.

6. Athleta Switchback Jacket

Athleta Switchback Jacket, currently $49.99

Casual elegance. This jacket is long enough to go over a tunic, long cardigan, or dress. The double-breasted snaps make it dressy, but the fleece keeps it casual.
High quality fleece, won't ball.
