I'm Using Amazon Prime Day to Create the Rich-Looking Closet Of My Dreams
The annual sale is basically a cheat code.
As someone with a career in fashion, I'm constantly fielding questions about where to invest when it comes to clothing. My answer is always the same: start with the basics. The older I get, the less interested I become in buying pieces that only work for one occasion. I've found that the items I reach for most are the staples that do the heavy lifting, regardless of the season. Once you have your go-tos, you're golden—but finding them can be tricky, and finding them at a reasonable price can be even harder.
That's exactly why Prime Day, running Tuesday, June 23 through Thursday, June 26, feels like such a good excuse to refresh the foundation of your wardrobe. I spent hours parsing through the sale to find the polished basics that are actually worth buying.
Finally, a work bag that doesn't look like a work bag.
Very much into dark denim at the moment (if you couldn't tell).
These elevated sneakers will go with just about everything in your closet.
