For this particular outfit, I went with a classic black and white color palette so I wanted to incorporate a couple trendy accents like the bell sleeves on the blazer and blush bag. (mywhitet.com)
It pairs perfectly with classic neutrals and even trendy accent colours like pink and aqua. (styleathome.com)
I think you have to invest in quality, classic pieces that fit perfectly like a black pencil skirt or boot - cut pants, and then amp it up with less expensive, trendier accents in versatile (and easy - to - clean) fabrics and materials. (sarahwellsbags.com)
