Every week, look for a Feature Wear of the Week. We'll call it W.O.W. for short--and because you can create a serious wow factor with it! I will pull together a seamless look that you guys can most likely create at home. Since its fall, you can have a lot of fun with this--fall clothes are the greatest and the most versatile!
Let's start with the top. This year it has become much easier to find the basics. For the top, we're going to go for a basic, white, long-sleeve tee. The tee should be almost a tunic length. It is OK for it to have a bit of a slouch, boyfriend-type fit. But if you are going for this type of fit, just make sure the arms are tight so it doesn't look like you just put on your boyfriend's actual shirt. This type of fit is very much hot this year. Get the neck in a scoop or v-neck--not crewneck. If you want to go the more designer route, James Perse has great (amazingly soft) tees for around $75. Cheaper route? I'm sure you can dig one up at Forever 21.
As for the lower half of this look, let's go with dark jeans. SUPER dark. These are the most flattering and should be in everyone's closet collection! Choose a leg that has a trouser, almost bell-flair fit--tighter on upper leg, then much wider nearing the bottom. Smooth pockets work best with this look, due to the longer tee coming over the pockets. You don't want those flap pockets poking through your tee making you look like you've got some extra oomph going on down there.
To top this look off, pair a very fitted leather jacket over the tee. The tee should be longer than the jacket. Slip a long, one strand necklace over your head for simplicity. Then pair some amazing heels with the look to pull it all together.
Lastly, wear it with confidence and make 'em go W.O.W.!
