Staples and Statement Pieces: A Perfect Pairing

A couple of weeks ago I talked about fashion staples and discussed three of my favorite things hanging in my closet right now: a leather jacket, black skinny jeans, and a gold watch. I told you how I’ve caught myself wearing each of them with everything else in my closet lately, which is a testament to their versatility!

Although these pieces are not necessarily common to own, they are classic and tasteful enough that they can be paired with other more eccentric pieces to make chic and unique outfits. My philosophy is that staples such as these are worth spending a little extra money on, whereas I leave more trendy articles and accessories for less-expensive stores such as Forever 21 and H&M.

I thought it might be nice to do a short post today with a few examples of the staples I talked about paired with some statement clothes and accessories. So I created a few fashion collages for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

Hopefully this post answered some of your most pressing questions: What do you wear with a leather jacket? What looks good with black jeans? And how do you accessorize a gold watch?

Ta ta for now!
