Tried & True: 6 Solid, Seasonless Staples

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



1.  Athleta Strata Skirt

Picture
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

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

Picture
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. 











    Comment? Or please let me know where I can get one of your favorite seasonless pieces--I'm always looking for them. Thx! :-)
