One wardrobe essential I've been beginning to appreciate more and more is skinny black pants. The quintessentially "Audrey" basics are appropriate for a plethora of occasions and may be paired with nearly anything. The look above is quite sharp and features a simple femininity that is decidedly polished. Crisp lines draw the eye to the focal point of the look - a bold, conservatively sexy top in a universally flattering and lively hue.
