  You are very precise and sophisticated in your professional style. Your dream closet is full of:Classic dresses with a modern twistA coat for every occasionClothes that fit you to a teeThe just-so accessories for every outfitYour style icon is Kate Middleton (Princess Kate)You want everything in your outfit to be just so. You will accept nothing less than precise fit, match, and design in your clothing and accessories. But since you don’t have a royal clothing budget it can be hard to sustain this type of wardrobe. Statement pieces and a high/low dressing are your secret sauce. A statement piece is one item in your outfit that people take note of and comment on. It can be an accessory (jewelry, purse, shoes, belt, scarf) or a unique garment. It often results in the comment: "you always look so pulled together." High-Low dressing is when you mix your expensive things with your lower-priced items. Wearing those special event earrings with your dress from Zara (even Kate shops there) takes your outfit to the next level. Making all of your outfits look like something out of a princess's closet. But at a fraction of the cost. The British Sophistication must haves.Your wardrobe must haves are:Belted dressA well-tailored wool coatA full suit (jacket, skirt, and blazer)Classic print silk blouse (think polka dots or small flowers)Great places for you to shop.
