1. Classic bag $168
2. Pencil skirt  $79 - $130
3. White button-down $72
4. Pumps $120
5. Trench coat $199.99
6. Trousers $240
7. Cardigan $128
8. Dark skinny jeans $176
9. Skinny belt $24.14
10. Ballet flats $135
11. Statement necklace $165
12. Shift dress $295
13. Blazer $99
14. Printed blouse $80

With these essentials hanging in your closet, getting dressed in the morning will be much easier.
