Wardrobe Refresh – 5 Key Pieces to Own in 2014
In the game of wardrobe updating, we often find ourselves adding oldies but goodies – the ubiquitously loved LBD, the classic trench, the sophisticated button down. Yes, they are essentials, and yes we use them daily, but what about some of the trendy pieces that can transform your wardrobe in mere minutes? We’re all in need of a refresh, the kind that enhances and elevates our closet into the subject of envy. So here are the 5 key pieces to add to your wardrobe in 2014. Trendophiles, this is your year.
Transformed Neckwear – We’ve been waxing poetic on incorporating a turtleneck into your wardrobe for the last season, so if you haven’t gotten your hands on this high neck trend yet, 2014 is the perfect time to do so. The reboot this year is to nab one in flirty dresses, sporty sweaters or lacy sheer tops.
Rachel Zoe Daryl Raglan Blouse, $195.00, available at LustreLife.
ASH 360 Cashmere Drawstring Turtleneck Pullover, $390.00, available at LustreLife.
Purple Haze – We’re seeing everything in a purple haze since Pantone announced Radiant Orchid the color of 2014. Go for the full purple spectrum this year by choosing vibrant fuchsias, soft demure lilacs or luxuriously rich plums.
Burberry Lace Shirt, $995.00, available at LustreLife.
Lanvin Draped Crepe Gown, $2,995.00, available at LustreLife.
Midriff Mania – At first glance, it seems like a risky trend, but a crop top can be worn with high-waisted midi skirts for those of us less ab-tastic.

Alexander McQueen Embossed Crop Top, $1,160.00, available at LustreLife.
Print Season – Basically anything goes when it comes to prints in 2014. And the quirkier the better. Think tropical Hawaiian prints, marbled swirls, picnic tablecloth patterns and water color paint strokes.
