When it comes to trendy pieces like the new “It” bag you do not want to spend a lot of money because what is in one season may be out the next. If you are going to shell out big bucks for a pieces make sure they are classics. Classic pieces deserve the splurge becomes some things are just priceless.

Check out the list of the classic pieces that are worth the splurge

1. Little Black Dress– the LBD is timeless. It is appropriate for a variety occasions. The styling options are endless. I would opt to have an LBD that can work for an After Five event, interview, and even a date night. LBD’s are great with flats, ankle boots, and even heels.

2. Black and Nude Pumps– These should be staples in every woman’s wardrobe. They are great with business attire or even casual looks. Pair them with your favorite suit for work or your favorite jeans for drinks after. You want to invest in a good leather pump. They will last you a life time.

3. Trench Coat– Perfect for cool spring days, the trench coat is the epitome of classic style. It is perfect for all body type and allows a woman’s full figure to shine. Trench coats create a polished look. Pair with your favorite oversized sunnies and you are ready to escape the paparazzi.

4. Leather Handbag– A great handbag is a necessity. A great LEATHER handbag is even more important. Leather handbags in colors like black and cognac are timeless. When it comes to a handbag we shouldn’t sell ourselves short

5. Wrist Watch– A classic time piece should always grace the wrist of a man and woman. A watch can pull together any look. If you are not into wearing bracelets or other accoutrements, then make sure you always wear a watch. One timeless watch style is definitely the menswear inspired look. It is bold and strong, but has a feminine touch.

6. Jeans– Everyone woman should have a pair of jeans that make them look and feel amazing. The quality of various designer jeans is impeccable. For great quality you will have to pay the price. Some of favorite jeans cost between $100-$150. This can be a bit pricey, but the results are amazing.

When it comes to style, you have to know what works for you and makes you feel comfortable. My personal style is classic with a modern twist. I can get a little edgy and preppy sometimes, but I stick with the basics because I know that’s what I look good in. With all that being said, I love this photo of Rihanna! She looks amazing. She has the statement piece that each outfit needs which is her Fendi handbag,  but the rest of her outfit is simple and understated.
