"Some people dream of having a big swimming pool - with me, it`s closets." (Audrey Hepburn) Let`s find out, what were the basics one of my favourite style icon was wearing.
The Little Black Dress - Where would we be without the little black dress?
A Sleeveless Sheath Dress -
Classic, classic, classic. Made for showing off tanned legs. Not too
much above the knees though. In the winter, add sheer stockings and a
cashmere cardigan draped around your shoulders.
The White Shirt - 100% cotton or pure silk, it can be
long-sleeved, short-sleeved, cropped, oversized, tied at the waist. NO
epaulets, embroidery, gold buttons, or fancy stuff - you`re not in the
military. Unwrinkled is best.
A Jazzy Suit
- We`re talking a jacket and skirt here. It needn`t be a Paris
original. Just make sure it`s a nubby material, sized to within an inch
of your life, and nipped at the waist. If your mother`s got a
thirty-five-year-old version from her glory days (you know the details:
lined in cool silk, covered buttons, a delicate hidden chain to weight
the bottom of the jacket), NAB IT!
Capri Pants - A bit of whimsy during the summer months. In the fall and winter, put them aside in favor of lean trousers fitted to your instep.
A Dark Turtleneck - Black or navy
blue, so you can make believe you`re slumming with Fred Astaire in the
Latin Quarter - even if you`re just standing in line at the post office
...
One "What The Hell" Item - To
show you mean business. In her Hollywood years, Audrey wore a mink
pullover, with sunglasses, a scarf around her head, and lean black
trousers. Divine!
One Killer Dress - Remember the look on everyone`s face when Audrey as Sabrina shows up at the Larrabees in that Givenchy creation? You can do the same - suprise your friends: Favor khakis during the day, an evening dress to break his heart at night.

Jeans, a Polo Shirt, Sneaks - For gardening and/or goofing around with the dogs, especially when no photographers are present.
The Sabrina Heel - For that princess look. Worn barelegged or with sheer stockings and a sense of great expectation.
The (Preferably Hermes) Scarf - Invest in one and tie it every which way.

Dark Sunglasses - For hiding a multitude of sins.
As Little Jewelry as Possible (Unless You`re Tagging Holly Golightly) - Make sure it`s the best you can afford. With the right attitude, though, no one will doubt your cubic zirconia`s the real thing.
