If you've ever looked into your closet and wondered What do I have to wear? you are not alone.

One of the reasons that you may feel that there's nothing to wear is because you are so used to thinking inside the fashion box. You wear your little black dress the same way every time with pearls and pumps. Or you are used to pulling out your black pantsuit and wearing it with the same two or three tops

So, I've put together several photo galleries of "what to wear" ideas for your most common pieces to help you look at your standbys in a new way.

  • Little Black Dress - Your favorite dressy staple might benefit from a pair of red shoes or matching cuff bracelets.
  • Vest - A vest is a great finishing piece, but you don't need to only layer it over a solid-color top and pants. Try it with everything from prints to brights for a fresh look.
  • White Shirt - Belt your white shirt and add leggings or layer it over tanks: new ideas for a closet essential.
  • Black Pantsuit - Add a pop of color or a pretty print to change up this wardrobe basic.
  • Leather Jacket - A leather jacket with a cocktail dress? Modern and fresh. More ideas to stretch your looks with a leather jacket.
