"Must-have" is kind of a strong term, but at least I have your attention.
Maybe it's not that you "must have" them, but they are the only purchases you need to make for completely updating your look this season. They are:
1. The Jacket
Sometimes, people only see you in that -cover-up you've adopted to protect you from those cooler days. But think of all the places you appear without ever taking the darn thing off!
It's all about silhouette. Choose the best style for your body type and dabble in a little color. If black is your thing, go for a little embellishment around the collar, or adopt a silk scarf to line it out around your neckline.
2. The Bag
As you know from It's So You! I am indeed a bag lady. I salivate in the accessories department in a way which could get embarrassing.
Anyway, your bag should speak well of you. It should easily slip over the sleeves of your jacket (or later, your winter coat) and it should ooze great quality. Currently, oversized bags with zipper and buckle embellishments are all the rage.
3. The Shoes
Or, the boots. Find a comfortable shoe which peeps from under your every day jeans or trousers in ways which help to elongate your leg and make your walk elegant. Ballet flats, pointed toe flats, or cool boots update instantly.
