Investments

• A good versatile scarf that goes with the colours you wear most and look for silk crepe versions. They are usually easier to tie and more likely to stay that way.
• Good eye glass frames. Don't however, wear them on a chunky chain around your neck. If  you must, choose something a little more subtle.
• A well-made jacket in a 3 season fabric - light weight wool, fully lined with well sewn seams.
• A good handbag that will last for years, big enough for all your essentials, but not too big.
• At least one well made pair of pants (or a skirt for that matter) that you can wear for  three seasons.
• A pair of classic pumps. Look for leather, heels no higher than 2 inches and a natural, versatile colour black, nude or grey.
