Do you have items in your closet that you would happily wear every day?
My top five elements of style for 2015 include the pieces I wear most often and feel most comfortable.
The Perfect Tops
There are some tops that I do wear almost every day. The tops I get from Covered Perfectly are great to layer over or wear alone since they are long enough to wear with leggings. I love the face-flattering neckline of the Simple Comfort top.
Wash, then hang to dry. (Never put in the dryer!) Buy a size larger if you would like a loose fit. They are perfect for travel since they take up no space. Just hang them up. The wrinkles will fall right out!
Covered Perfectly is a small, woman-owned company. All the products are made in the USA (even the fabric). All the models featured on the Covered Perfectly website are over 40 (in my case, way over 40!).

The Perfect Jeans
I reach for a pair of jeans almost every morning. They can be very casual or worn out to dinner with a nice jacket and heels. A great fitting pair of dark wash jeans that keep their great fit all day is golden for me. (Who likes pulling up your pants all day?)
These smooth fit ankle jeans from J.Jill have all the qualities I look for. There aren't many design details that make them memorable, and the length is perfect for me.

Dressed for the Event
When I need to step away from the jeans to get dressed for a special evening, I know Clara Sunwoo tops will serve me well. I got this one, and these Mesmerize pants from ShopMyFairLady.com.
The confidence of knowing you look your best in something comfortable and easy to wear can not be underestimated.

Double-Duty Items
Another of my all-time favorite items also came from ShopMyFairLady.com. This I.C. Collection shirt reminds me of a Ralph Lauren advertisement. I love the elegance of the brown faux suede. This rich neutral color goes with every pair of pants I own, and it also works well with my coloring. I love that it can be worn as a shirt alone or layered as a jacket. Any item that can be worn several ways gets extra points from me.
