    "I work 9 to 5 and I go out on the weekends so I try to buy pieces that are multi-purpose. My key essentials are a trench, a pencil skirt, a little black dress, jeans, boots, a blazer and accessories.

    A trench coat is a must. This one is mid-range in price. It is fitted, has a nice belt and is flattering."

    “The pencil skirt is ideal for the office and can be dressed up for dinner out by throwing on some boots or heels.

    This is my take on the little black dress—I love this dress. You can wear it with heels or boots.”

    “Boots are a great way to perk up an outfit.  I have riding boots, over-the-knee boots, boots with heels, rubber boots for spring. In looking at my collection I may have to invest in a pair of ankle boots soon.

    Accessories are great to update your look.  You can be wearing something that’s five years old but a necklace automatically updates your entire look.”

    “I’ve learned to invest in jeans.  I have them in a variety of styles, including wide leg jeans.”

    “You can make a bold and dramatic statement with color.

    Being Indian, I love to add a bit of Indian flair in my wardrobe.  Whether it’s by color or by bringing jewelry in to an outfit.”

    “I also love accessorizing with belts. If it's done the right way, belting a cardigan or a loose top can be so flattering and slimming.

    I used to switch up wallets all the time, but I have a new one that is nice and big.  I’m done with switching.”

    “I love designing jewelry, as well as buying jewelry in India."

    “I use water and wine bottles to keep my boots from falling over.

    This is a tie rack that I now use for my necklaces.”

    “I keep organize by throwing everything in this basket.   At the end of the week, I put things where they go.”
