Shop the closet. Shop the markdown. Shop the vintage sale. I’ve heard all the AA-esque tag lines for recovering shopaholics in this recession age. For some reason, the phrases don’t hit home for me. One thing is for certain, I am trying to spend less cash on my summer wardrobe this season. But call me crazy, I still want new stuff.
My summer strategy is to buy a few pieces that are supremely versatile and I can wear all the time. Neutrals fit the bill—they easily integrate into my existing wardrobe. They can be worn over and over again and still look fresh. Check out these pieces for their chameleon-like qualities.
An oldie but goody, these Louboutin nude leather pumps will elongate your perfectly tan gams. Sport them with neon for a dose of 80s glam or use as a sophisticated alternative to the basic boring black pump.
Marni’s caramel slouchy hobo is a great way to offset flirty floral prints or your summer brights. It’s a great weekend bag that you can use all summer long.
This very directional paper bag skirt by Vanessa Bruno is the perfect foundation for your summer look. Pair it with a simple tank and flips or dress it up with a sorbet cardi and heels for instant city chic.
Preen’s very versatile cardi is the ultimate summer staple—a great layering piece with skinny denim or a frock. Opt for laidback luxe with leggings, scarf, and a tank. It’s the perfect canvas for bright color or use it to create a monochromatic look.
