Holy fun times, my friend. Supplementary lists are an entirely different animal as they are all about filling in the holes in your wardrobe. I’ve had the time of my life with this one. There are more items than you’ll need. The idea here is to give you maximum flexibility to choose what excites you and stock up on essentials. Off we go!
First up, a polished coat is vital and this super sale fitted piece from Karl Lagerfeld is ideal.
Mix and match it with a wide variety of items or try layering neutrals with this practical, feminine and flattering dress- just right for work throughout the year.
Colorful shoes bring you joy and this pair is sure to excite for years to come. Plus the heel is low and functional.
It’s time to stock up on African jewelry. I love Swahili African Modern for you.
Best vegan leather trench EVER and for an extraordinary price. I’ve had mine for several years and it still looks new. Plus, it’s stellar in the rain.
Start with this link. then go to the vegan leather trench coat. Use code: MELLICIAMARX10 for 10% off. the Reset. Was: $328 Now: $129.
Shoes! Shoes! Shoes! Channeling the Reset image, functional choices for work and play. Pick your favs including a nice comfortable heel from Coclico.
Sir the Label is a great resource for you, especially for vacation. This bodice detaches from the skirt for maximum flexibility and this piece is easy for you to run around with the kids, get on the ground and more when you are traveling the world.
Okay, t-shirts are a big deal and we’ve got options. Each one is here for a very good reason. An open neckline is especially flattering for your frame and these are two of my favs.
A fitted top is essential and this one from All Saints is designed to go over your slip dress! When sweater season is over, you’ll still be rocking that useful, luxurious piece.
Of course, you don’t need white in all of these styles. Mix and match as you see fit. If you’d like a crewneck choice, both of these have a relaxed neckline so your collarbone shows a bit and there’s a more feminine vibe. The Re/done Classic tee is a huge hit which explains the pricepoint. You’ll never want to take it off.
Yes, please! The classic Ted Baker silhouette is ideal to show off your shape and it also comes in a number of great color choices. I especially like this one. But the dark green, red or hot pink are also major contenders for you. If you’ve got the winter white coat and one of these, you’re set for years to come!
I feel like you’ll never turn down a hip pair of sneakers and this bright pair will mix and match with all of your pieces.
More African jewelry that is aligned with your authentic personal style.
Sir the Label strikes again. I imagine you’ve got some serious vacation vibes going right now.
T-shirts don’t always need to be classic or white. Here are three more choices I love for you including the green with an adjustable length.
African jewelry for the win!
No list for you would be complete without the ideal pair of animal print mules. Here they are!
Oh my goodness! This Shark Tank winning company makes flats that convert to heels and back to flats! Believe it. Dive into the video for all of the details. I put an assortment of styles below to give you some of my favs. This is incredibly useful when you are heading from work to an evening out or you just want to up your game for specific meetings.

Jewelry! Jewelry! Jewelry!
It is clear that the right casual jumpsuit will bring you joy. This is a more feminine cut, but still an industrial style.
Aquatalia makes really comfortable shoes and this pair of ankle boots are a stellar neutral that you can mix and match.
Two more fun shoe options. If you haven’t heard of Hopp, they are the brainchild of a former Opening Ceremony designer who put orthopedic level supports into hip shoes.
Oh! Let’s make sure you have the idea cami to layer under sheer blouses and dresses. I vote for the Yummie. You shouldn’t need to wear a bra with it, which is super helpful and I vote you pick up a nude and black option for maximum flexibility. I like this one because it is comfortable and really flattering.
And there you have it! This should wrap things up and I can’t wait to hear what you think. Have fun shopping!
