Wednesday morning, on my breakfast table, I held my little pink notebook, thinking a lot about my last week post Project 1 - Be Basic. I wonder that, was it too rough? did I make myself clear enough? Maybe I forget to mention all those 10 single items I picked from millions of fashion style just indicates a general idea of mine, how to optimum the cost/performance ratio of one's look, how to pick the most practical items with less money, to make sure one will always have something to discover from her closet, instead of throwing a lot of money on bunch of stuff she doesn't even wear once per year, and still complain about she has nothing to wear!
Meanwhile, you might find the 10 items I'v listed were too boring to wear for having no HIGHLIGHT or charactors at all. When you go out in streets, there are probably 50 persons dressing exactly like you. Your friends can't even tell which one is you! Sadly,that is the purpose of thie project. Like a plant you are going to cultivate, those 10 items are just flower beds without seeding yet. Your beautiful flowers? Not even mention! But don't worry, from Project 2 (still 10 items), I will try to make it more personlized and more specific (but still be able to apply in a general way). I'm thinking Project 2 can be divided into two parts. Here, Project 2-1 will introduce 5 more items to make you look modern and chic, for business and evening party time use, while Project 2-2 will show another 5 hot items added for a more casual and street look, but still classic. Then you know how to keep your wallet tight!

So, this is what I asked myself, "When you've owned Top 10 basic that you can go for all occasions, looking fabulous and classic, what will be the first choice if you can afford one more? "And I got my answer!
It should be her, the classical Little Black Dress! I can create a new look with the 3 items I have already had from Project 1 like in the picture, black high heels, letters style metal necklace and perfect Chanel bag, no need to spend more. However, there are also 10 principles (from me) to pick the first little black dress for each empty closet:
1) Only black
2) Basic design, no weird cutting or stitching
3) Not too casual like streets styles
4) Not too showy like evening gowns
5) Not too sexy like night wearing
6) Not too long, not too short
7) No decorations, no beads, no silver pins
8) No black lace, no leather
9) Better be pencil shape
10) Better choose the materials will never have crease
In my opinion, to choose a perfect little black dress (like the one in the picture), it will help you, indeed, save money! Because, with proper jewelry or accessories, you can wear it for both working and casual moments, or even visiting and evening parties in some special occasions. How can you do that? Let's add a few more single items to see!
This time, I add 4 fresh ones , vintage style black hat (can be made of wool or man-made materials), short multi layers (or only one layer, but i prefer multi-layers) creamy pearl necklace (or white color, it doesn't matter) , black patent leather envelop clucth (must be shining) and transparent high heels. That's it, another new look appears with both vintage and modern chic tatse. If the previous look with Chanel bag and black high heels is better to work in office, this one will be so dazzling for attending even a special dinner party! Review how Audrey Hepburn handled her little black dress and black high heels.Stunning, isn't it!
Meanwhile, with the 4 new accessories I've already had just now, there are also plenty of possibilities to match them with my other Top 10 items, then you get more looks! For example, check these styles below. They make perfectly match with each other. Of course I can freely change the transparent high heels back to black high heels, and change the clutch back to Chanel style bad for any moments. There is no way the changes will ruin my entire look. I personally love transparent high heels because it always makes my legs look longer, fantastic effect for petite girls! I'm only 5''1' tall, when I wear my hot shorts and 3' high transparent sandals in street at summertime, people can think like i'm 5"8' and always ask me where to buy those transparent sandals. That is why I rank it to Top 20. But remember to choose the simplest style, no stitching with other colors or materials. And, the most important thing, the higher, the better.
Also I save the pearl necklace for foture wearing although it is not the most widely used item and not suitable for many occasions, but they are still my favourite accessories and i think every girl should have one.
Well, I'm almost done the Project 2-1. As an end for today, I make this above image to remind the audience what I've got for my empty closet right now! Yeah, these 12 never-out-of-time items you also must have if you wanna save money and achieve an elegant and classic look (or cool or chic, whatever) in more than two weeks. I know there are another 3 items from Project 1 left, my plan is that they will show on Project 2-2. So what's new I will be adding for Project 2-2? Soon you will know! Everyone, thanks for passing by! Remember to come back to check! Or follow me on twitter, thanks again!
