As we say goodbye to 2019 and look forward to 2020, here at Signature Style, it’s a time to re-evaluate our wardrobe and style and plan ahead so we don’t waste investing any of our time and money into items that don’t resonate with our sense of style.
I have bigger financial goals for 2020 and my focus will be on much more than buying more times for my closet. However, I know that I will purchase a few fashion items for the upcoming season. When I do pull the trigger, I want to know that these were good investments and will be something I’ll wear for years to come.
With all that said, let’s transition to the fashion boards and my top fashion suggestions for 2020…
My favorite Zimmerman blouses for that feminine, yet bohemian look. Obviously I won’t be getting all of them…but these are my favorites from the brand that would add a delicate flair and inject color and life into my wardrobe.
For me, I don’t want to waste any money in 2020…not 1 fashion purchase-that isn’t versatile and high-quality. All pieces need to seamlessly fit into my closet and be something that I will reach for and enjoy.
And because a little Gucci takes any look up a notch (or 5 notches), I have selected my favorite pieces from the brand that would be versatile and elevate what currently hangs in my closet…
These boots would edge up many of my skirts and jeans, while the mono statement earring adds instant flair to even your most basic white tee and jeans outfit. However, they are clip-ons, and if the earring is too heavy, it may be hard to wear all day. I have loved this belt for a while…and a high waist belt will cinch in a dress & create an hourglass silhouette. I think this logo skirt speaks for itself…
I see the value of investing in accessories, rather than clothing. You can re-wear a belt or pair of sunglasses with all your outfits, and you get more wear and value out. From a styling perspective, the right accessories are essential.
I wanted to also include a few black investment pieces that would work in a capsule wardrobe and that you could mix and match and re-wear and re-style for multiple looks…
These items are very true to my own style, and I love the different vibe of the Zimmerman playsuit with the edgy snakeskin biker jacket (and the Prada bag), versus it styled with the Balmain blazer and Gucci Marmont bag.
The snakeskin jacket and Zimmerman playsuit are currently on sale. While I fall in love with Zimmerman’s new season florals and pastel prints, the solid black georgette playsuit is feminine and versatile. It would fit seamlessly into my wardrobe, and I’m having a vision of how it could be dressed up with dangling earrings and black fishnets for a night out.
This Prada Cahier is my favorite version of any I have seen. It’s out of my reach at the moment, but one day it will be mine…and when a bag is solid black on black, you don’t have to wore about clashing hardware. For this reason, I would pick the Prada over the Gucci bag. I prefer silver jewelry and the gold Gucci logo on the handbag might make it less versatile.
I hope this helps as you create your own fashion wishlist and plan ahead for your 2020 shopping,
