Q. I want to look trendy but not mutton dressed as lamb help!
A. First of all get rid of that cliche, it dates back from the time of those old rules about no white shoes after labor day, and don't mix gold and silver, shoes and purse must always match and no wife of mine will work outside the home. No one follows those rules anymore, all are old fashioned and outdated. A women over 40 should never compare herself to any farm animal: the only animal she should call herself is the cougar. There's no longer any such thing as "mutton dressed up as a lamb" it's a phrase that's offensive and demeaning to all women and especially to yourself. trust your own taste and wear whatever you want.

A. As a woman in my early 20s, I feel that I need classy pieces that transcend seasons and stay classic forever.
For example, button-down shirts/blouses, jeans that aren't too trendy (by that, I mean classic cuts and styles), trousers that are straight leg in neutral colors (black, gray, tan, brown, even some pinstriped), fitted blazers and other structured jackets, pencil skirts, a-line skirts, 3/4 length sleeved tops (can be v-necked, wrap tops, etc), wrap dresses, pea coats or trenches.
Accessories are where you can have inexpensive fun with chunky, long, beaded necklaces, dangley earrings, scarves, belts, etc.
Also, be aware when choosing color. Bright colors are great, but sometimes jewel-toned shades are more sophisticated. Having said that, color can be great to add some flair to an otherwise neutral and drab wardrobe.
Fit is important. In a classic look, it seems that nothing is ever too tight or baggy.
As for shoes, I love flats, but I also feel that having at least 1-2 pairs of pumps (like in a neutral color, black or brown) is important. Also, boots are great for fall and winter whether they're flat or heeled. If you love color, invest in some bright shoes, such as a pair of red pumps. It can be a great signature look IF that's your kind of thing.
Having said all that, you can easily fit trendy pieces from every season into that.
