Jessica's Take On The Black Lyford Top
News Flash: I don't just buy trends. I know you have heard and read a million times "fill your wardrobe with basics and timeless pieces for versatility." What in the world, how BORING! No. Really, it's not. If you saw my closet you would be quite shocked. It is not as large as you might imagine. What you will find are some amazing wardrobe builders
Listen, I hate buying a plain black top as much as the rest of you. I stand in the dressing room thinking, "it's black, it fits great but it makes no statement." Surprise! That is what makes it AMAZING. Think of your wardrobe as a house. If you don't have a great foundation, you've got nothing. Doesn't matter how pretty the curtains are if the structure is going to fail you. The items you pair with your trend need to be classic so your trend stands out.
Bet you would have never guessed I shop in stores specializing in classic and conservative looks?!? Quit buying cheap, throw-aways that let you down and don't last. Save your money for the fun. The Black Lyford Top I am wearing meets my standards. Classic. High Quality. Great Fit. Versatile. And the best part, it will last me a few seasons. I promise this one top will take you from jean shorts to cocktail and everything in between.
Casual Night Out
I've paired my Lyford Top with my suede pants and a fur vest for a casual night out look with friends or my honey. The advantage of this wrap shirt wrap over a basic black t-shirt is the shape it gives me. It hugs my curves, is not too low cut, and forgives my extra cocktail from last night. Since the Lyford gives me great shape, I can layer it with my fur vest and not look overwhelmed and bulky.
And guess what! We've negotiated a discount on this piece for all Vault Insiders.

Cocktails and Dinner
I am always looking for an excuse to ditch a traditional cocktail dress when it is cooler weather or there will be more sitting than mingling. Black leather pants don't have to be reserved for Bike Week. Here I am wearing mine with this versatile wrap. Seriously, I just slipped a soft, comfy microfiber piece into your cocktail wardrobe. You don't need to be restricted and miserable.
Add a beaded jacket to bring the wrap shirt and your leather pants to the next level for a feminine cocktail alternative.
Right now, for Insiders of Your Style Vault, I have provided some great foundation builders beginning with the Lyford. We are making it easy so easy for you to try because J.McLaughlin is offering you 15% off for being an Insider. In addition to the Lyford wrap, I have provided you great options to achieve these looks. I am always mindful of your budget when making selections for you to purchase. You will occasionally find I am suggesting a luxe option. I will only offer you this option if I feel it is a foundation piece you will wear multiple seasons. I will talk more about this in the future. So make sure you sign up for my posts — I want to help you build that amazing wardrobe you've always wanted!
