what to wear: timeless style
Trends come and go, but there are some things that simply never go out of style. Someone with timeless style exudes elegance no matter what age they are or what trend is current. When a woman has style, everyone notices. It’s about how you carry yourself, the confidence you exude, and how you present yourself to your peers. Knowing how to put together a polished and elegant look is something that may not come naturally to everyone, but it can be learned.
When we are stumped to find sartorial inspiration in our closets, we turn to style icon, Audrey Hepburn. Her style was always classic and timeless, and she always dressed impeccably no matter the occasion. She was never afraid to wear pants or a suit in her day and still retained the utmost of femininity with her outfit choices. We know her style was timeless because most everything she wore is still fashionable today!
We try to keep this philosophy in mind when shopping for ourselves or selecting items for our shop. We try to channel our style icon and steer clear of fads and, instead, invest in classic pieces that can be worn for years to come. A staple cardigan, a versatile belt, or a classic coat are a few items that we aren’t ashamed of spending a few extra dollars on. These are items that can be worn year round and paired with different articles of clothing and can create a whole different look. Adding a top with a bit of sparkle and a fun necklace can give a classic cardigan a festive holiday feel, or pair it with a teeshirt for a casual weekend look.
Choosing classic pieces in which you feel both confident and elegant are worth spending a little extra on. Because if you look like a million bucks, you will feel like a million bucks, and nothing is more beautiful than a woman who is comfortable in her own skin—no matter her age.
