The clothes that look good on you are the ones that you like, are the ones that you like, are generally create a balanced look for your silhouette. I am a deep believer in the little black dress that you can dress up or down as the occasion requires, but you may hate dresses or find that a good pants suit is more your speed. The girl trying to put together a wardrobe on a limited budget is well advised to follow the Foundation Item formula. Which suite everyone, regardless of job, size or idiosyncratic love of costume jewelry.

Since foundation items are those pieces of clothing that form the basis of every outfit you wear, look for things that are dependable, comfortable and look great on you. They should be solidly constructed, swapped in and out of different outfits. Since they will be in heavy rotation , you can feel good about spending a little extra on them to get the very best quality so they will survive many a season.

You should have some staples in your closet that are so timeless that they stay in style no matter which way the fashion winds blow – those perfect black pants go with velvet boleros and off-the shoulder sweaters or whatever other screamingly hip styles enter and depart your basic wardrobe from season to season. They are your port in the storm, a constant in an ever changing trend universe. Get a few dependable mainstays, then add color or prints, and dress up or down at your whim.
