The key to achieving a personal style that you love is to build a wardrobe of basic pieces that work for you. This will give you a solid foundation to mix it up with accessories to create different looks.

The base look consists of a solid turtleneck with a pencil skirt and boots. I count it as one of the looks because it can be worn as-is and still feel like a complete outfit.

Adding a statement wrap freshens the base with its current on-trend pattern. The tiger print is tasteful and visually breaks up the two-tone outfit to give it visual interest.

Adding a scarf in bright, contrasting colors, gives the outfit a playful feel. This scarf is from the Target dollar spot and proves that this system can work with any budget.

Adding a ruana (or cardigan or jacket) not only gives you the option of another look, the extra layer is a way to add more warmth to your outfit that still looks fashionable. The swing of the ruana gives it a dramatic flair that can work for both day and night time looks.
