A classic blazer is always a sound investment - especially when it features such a sharp, structured silhouette. This wool-blend tweed blazer is simply smart, from its warm, no-fuss color to its clean lines. Perfect to see you through fall, it’s a great alternative to simple cardigans and bulky knits and adds a touch of polish to your casual looks. 
Nothing beats a pair of classic pumps when it comes to adding a touch of polish to your everyday looks. This sleek pair is punctuated by gorgeous, lightly patterned gray fabric and an elongating stiletto heel. Wear them with a pencil skirt or sheath dress for a sexy-meets-powerful look. Also in red suede and black leather.
A great pair of black pants is a timeless and sensible addition to any wardrobe. These, from The Limited, offer something a bit different from the usual and add a splash of personality to a basic piece. The sash belt adds a fun element to the entire look. Though they’re beautifully draped, they’re still quintessentially crisp - perfect for professional environments.
Few bags manage to be both chic and uncomplicated, but this cleverly designed crossbody capitalizes on one of fall’s hottest accessory trends in the most accessible, effortless way. A spate of smooth quilted nylon in army green nods to the season’s military chic look, while the single chain-link strap offers hands-free, on-the-go convenience. It’s easy to clean and offers plenty of storage space for necessities small and large, so don’t worry about having to leave things behind. Fabulous, timeless and affordable: a combination we can’t resist.
