Accentuate your chest with Polo Ralph Lauren Tiered Cotton Midi Shirtdress Natural in beige or any neutral color. This shirtdress combines menswear-inspired details with a feminine A-line skirt for an edgy, summer feel. Add a pop of color with Furla Primavera shoulder bag that boasts a compact and curved design, making it perfect to wear on the shoulder. Finish the look with a pair of wedge shoes featuring an equally fun and colorful design.

Look pretty in orange when you wear kate spade new york silk twill matinee dress. Don’t forget to match it with a tie that will surely  accentuate your waist. Pair this simple summer go-to look with Furla Moon shoulder bag that presents an adjustable and removable leather strap with snap hooks and a metal chain strap. Go about your day with ease as you wear this bag, either as a shoulder bag or a crossbody bag. Show off your sexy feet when you complete the look with Steve Madden Jamilla heels, designed with oversized metal links that flatter your entire outfit.

Lastly, never go out of style when you wear the signature Tommy Hilfiger Women's Crepe Knee F&F dress. Feel the summer breeze and dance to its rhythm with this dress’ fit-and-flare shape. Truly perfect for the summer is its floral design to get you in the season’s mood. Wear Dune London’s Danika bag to complement this look with a chic vibe radiating from this classic bucket-style bag with signature logo detailing and metal accents. Finish off the look with Steve Madden’s Monte Carlo heels that adds style through its elegantly braided front design and a 7-cm heel, just enough to give you the lift you need, without sacrificing comfort.

Elevate your wardrobe essentials

Heart shares her top 5 power pieces from Trunc Show that are worth investing in. These top-shelf picks have transcended their way as notable additions to the list of power pieces to own for any season in this day and age.

Having a timeless drawstring bag alongside your arsenal of wilder styles is essential for making you feel at ease in your daily activities. Do yourself a favor and invest in a Jimmy Choo Bonbon bucket bag, which features gold accents on a solid-colored body. 

A neutral-colored pair of shoes warrants a closet staple. Giving the wearer a style that busts out for every special event, Tod's Leather Slingback pumps in off-white, smooth leather finish is simply elegant with its pointed neckline, elastic strap on the back, leather-covered cone heel, and a leather outsole. Be it with a mini or ankle-length dress, these pumps rock! Heart shares that these are pieces she’ll definitely keep forever. 

The next items in Heart’s list of power pieces are items from Salvatore Ferragamo. As a well-traveled person, Heart gets that yin-yang balance in her style choices with a trusted scarf– her emergency outfit when traveling. The brand’s Vimini Print Silk Foulard features a charming print with pink and orange highlights. Transforming as a necklace, a bag, a top, or even a bag, a scarf is truly a year-round essential. Meanwhile, the Viva Fixed Belt truly pulls an outfit together. Its textured black leather body is embellished with a silver metallic bow making it an extraordinary daily wear, whether you loop it through trousers, jeans, or over blazers for a quick cinch. Lastly, the Gancini Top Handle Bag is the ultimate investment, especially for working women. It provides both style and the space needed to conquer everyday tasks. Up the game with the bag’s stash of color that gives way to fun despite your busy schedule.

Curate a dynamic ensemble

A little black dress (LBD) is one of the essentials in one’s closet. It is the perfect base clothing for various occasions and Heart is here to help style several outfits using one black dress: her Banana Republic Petite Tiered Mini Black Dress in Black. 

This dress fits every body type with its flowy, ruffled design. To achieve a beach look, go for chic pieces to match your LBD like the Kurt Geiger Kensington Soft Large Hobo bag and the Dune London Kelisa wedge. Looking chic is also possible when you match your LBD with stunning accessories like a Charriol Celtic Legacy watch and a handy Coach Tate 18 crossbody bag in a striking red color. Top off the look with  Steve Madden’s Jamilla shoes with gold accents that make a statement. Go for a sexier look on a date night when you tie your hair up in a bun and put back the dress’ belt. Match your LBD with an edgy Kurt Geiger Shoreditch Sm crossbody bag, an even sexier Kurt Geiger Goodwill shoes, and finish it off with bold accessories  to carry off a very put together and effortless look.
