Midi skirts and wool shorts are great transitional pieces to keep us warm without the winter heaviness. The graceful vibe of a midi and tailored silhouette of the shorts make them versatile pieces that can be worn from desk to dinner. Here, I love the accessories master Olivia Palermo adds edgy or glamour elements to her ensemble via add-ons like her enviable shoes, cool sunglasses, and ladylike purse.

In Chinese: 优雅的过膝裙和挺括的羊毛短裤很适合现在这样的过渡时节穿，有保暖功能又没有冬装的厚重感，既能通勤又可以穿去约会。街拍女王Olivia Palermo是善用配件的高手，看看她的这两个造型吧：用优雅的酒红色高跟鞋把一身硬朗的皮装穿出了十足女人味，男孩风的铆钉短靴则给俏皮甜美的波希米亚风装扮注入了恰到好处的酷帅。

In our forever-changing wardrobe, there are permanent residents we can’t live without–the wardrobe basics. Here are my wardrobe essentials worth the investment:

1. structured blazers; 2. classic button-down; 3. quintessential skinnies; 4. trusty shoes (be it a ballet flat, a classic pump or year-round booties); 5. impeccable coat; 6. badass leather pants; 7. motorcycle jacket; 8. versatile jumper; 9. statement bag; 10. signature sunglasses.

The best part? They are all in today’s featured fashion icons and trend setters.

In Chinese: 时尚易逝，“经典”永存。在我们女人季季更新的衣橱里总有那么几件是我们永远不会抛弃，也最可靠的“好朋友”，那就是衣橱必备的基本单品。在我看来，这10件是每个女人都该投资的：

1. 合体的西装外套; 2. 经典的白衬衫; 3. 合身的牛仔裤; 4. 舒适的鞋子 (可以是平底芭蕾鞋、简洁的包鞋或四季皆宜的踝靴); 5. 有品质感的羊毛外套; 6. 皮裤; 7. 机车夹克; 8.基本款毛衣; 9. 一款可背可提的手包; 10. 适合脸型的太阳镜。

这几件都经常在今天所选的这三个超模（或前超模）的街拍中看到。你呢？你的衣橱必备有哪些？
