How to update your wardrobe 5 ways with only 1 piece!

One of our readers wrote us recently that she was really depressed that she had nothing to wear to an upcoming Sunday afternoon Christmas tea. Her budget was very limited and she didn’t want to have to buy an entire new outfit.

We suggested that she go out and find a new blouse to spice up what she already had in her closet!

She was thrilled and went out and found a gorgeous new blouse for $49.00 and when she got it home, she realized that it was going to be able to make up to 5 new outfits with it!

Here are a few suggestions that we think would be great additions to your winter wardrobe! The secret is finding a blouse with an interesting neckline that will add some flair!

Under a suit jacket or on its own, this pretty blouse looks good on all body types! (from Nordstroms)

This animal print is soft and romantic! (from Spiegel)

We like this ivory blouse that is off the shoulder,  because it can be sexy with out showing cleavage! (Nordstroms)

Anne Klein Fall 2008

Saw some great sexy, very wearable Anne Klein clothes at a recent fashion show at Verity in Toronto and wanted to share the pictures with you for inspiration.

Here’s what was coming down the runway for Fall/Winter 2008. << Isn’t this sweater darling?

Grey definitely seems to be the color of the season! Notice the hat>>

We wrote about this kind of hat in our last newsletter>

Always love a simple sheath! Also, gloves everywhere.

Grey can be hard to wear if you are warm skin toned, but you could pair grey pants or a grey skirt with a purple jacket like this. >>

I (Deb) bought this purple jacket>>>

Brown was also hot and we love this coppery shade of brown, below. Big jewels are also in.

Here’s a trench with a similar finish. Nice for the holidays.

These are beautiful, no nonsense clothes that make you look look fab.As the late Anne Klein, herself, neatly put it, “Clothes won’t change the world. The women who wear them will”.
