With that, here are 5 pieces (adapted from cusp.com) that you should either hang on to or look for in your next shopping adventures. These pieces will add mileage to your wardrobe while still keeping simplicity in your new, improved, and cleaned out closet.
1. The Denim Shirt
This is my favorite item of clothing since it is a basic shirt that updates the classic white button down. It can be worn year round by layering under sweaters during colder months or paired with bright colored shorts and rolled sleeves in the summer. You can also dress a denim shirt up with a pencil skirt, heels, and your favorite pearls.
And yes you can wear denim with denim. Just don't get matchy matchy.
Love this look of layering under a black sweater and glamming it up with a leopard coat. Any colored outwear piece would work with this look too.
2. The Perfect Jewel
A great pair of earrings or a statement necklace can take a blah outfit from boring to fabulous in an instant. The best part of jewelry is that it fits no matter how many pounds you are trying to lose for the New Year!
How cute is her outfit with a punch of glam!
Yeah yeah - those that know me are rolling their eyes right now. I cannot stress enough that if you haven't taken the leap and purchased a flat, belt, or scarf, then get with it and get a little leopard "happy" for the New Year. I promise it will be one of the best purchases you ever make! It's like a basic with a twist and you'll be surprised with how much it goes with what you already own.

4. A Fitted Jacket
Now is the time to buy a great fitted blazer or jacket if you don't already own one. There are TONS of sales going on and trust me, they are still going to be out in full force next Fall. Single breasted styles are the most slimming and look great with jeans or even your favorite dress.
Simple and yet chic with a lovely pendant to make a statement.
Most styles out there are of the "skinny" variety, but you can still find a few silhouettes for us fuller figured gals. If pants aren't your thing, go for a skirt which looks just as cute. When in doubt go for a darker color if you are a little bottom heavy. It will be much more slimming.

Happy Shopping!
