No need to get divorced and dive into a new career to nail down a starter wife’s fabulous style. Add these eight great staples to your closet and you’ll be as effortlessly chic as Molly and friends, from morning carpools to after-dark cocktails.
Bare necks often look naked this season, so when I’m not wrapping mine up in a bow or scarf, I throw on a large, sophisticated, statement-making necklace and start collecting compliments. I never forget that the bolder my necklace, the subtler my outfit must be to keep eyeballs on the glamorous pièce de résistance. Many of this season’s highly structured U- and V-shaped numbers are multi-strand, and range from extreme, almost breast-plate designs to layered chains stringing opaque stones such as jade, onyx, tiger’s eye and topaz. When a necklace is particularly out-of-this-world, I wear it sparingly so as not to bore friends and colleagues. Burberry’s Nickel Degrade Paisley Plaque Necklace ($1,296), available at BurberryUSAOnline.com. Kenneth Jay Lane’s Butterfly Necklace ($101), available at ShopBop.com.
