Step One: For fall/winter, you need your favorite jeans and a pair of black pants that you love. Cords and yoga pants are great staples too.
Step Two: You need an assortment of t-shirts/sweaters/turtlenecks in various neutral colors. We like black, white, chocolate and grey. They should be fitted, not boxy!
Step Three: Depending on the day/night you are planning, add accessories that suit your mood -- casual, dressy, funky, preppy, classic.
