Trends come and go, that’s why I try stick to classic pieces that will endure season after season. No one wants to look back at photos and immediately identify the year it was taken based on what you’re wearing.

However, after a recent chit-chat with a couple of friends, I’m starting to question whether one of my most beloved “quintessential” accessories is as  “timeless” as I thought.

As I reached to adorn my ears with a pair of thin, 14K gold medium-size hoops, a couple of my fashionista friends quickly quipped, “Please tell me you’re not wearing those ‘J. Lo’ earrings circa 2001.”

Never one to take people’s fashion opinions too seriously, I defended my accessorizing decision and went on my way. While I’m a fan of studs too, I will never give up the occasional hoop.

Check out a few BGs who apparently like jumping through hoops too:

What do you guys think? Are hoops timeless or have their run their course? Do you opt for more subdued styles such as studs? What are some of your favorite classic pieces?

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had an adoration for tights. See, how I’m so excited in the picture below? It’s all due to the fire-engine red leg-wear I’m rocking.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve anxiously anticipated cool weather so that I could slip my gams into my favorite form of hosiery. From patterns to bold prints, it’s no secret that tights can instantly add oomph and personality to any leg-baring ensemble. Plus, they’ll keep you warm while making you appear polished and pulled-together.

I haven’t met a pair of tights that I didn’t like. On second thought, I have, but those are few and far between!

Well-Tailored Blazer
Like a leather jacket, a blazer is a timeless piece that will never go out of style. Whether it’s vintage, classic or modern, a blazer can be used to add a funky flair to your style.
