" Hello Ladies, Those of you who follow me on Twitter (@ashley_falcon) already know I was in New York this week for meetings, appointments, and a little bit of down time with good friends. Many of you have been asking for snapshots of my outfits, so I enlisted a good friend to snap a few pictures of the clothes I wore while running around the city. This week, I had classics on my mind. I mean, it&amp;#039;s no secret that finding classic pieces is much easier than finding trendy ones. But unfortunately, an all-classic outfit leaves most curvy girls looking quite bland\u2014not to mention sometimes looking older than they are. My solution: Spice up your classics with trendy pieces.    1. The White Button Down   Wear one with black pants and you might be mistaken for a waiter. Try wearing your button down with a pair of jeans, rolling up the sleeves, and adding a printed scarf or a pair of statement shoes. Keep this classic staple fresh by adding of-the-moment items. 2. The Tweed Jacket  This look is one that could easily teeter into &amp;quot;stuffy&amp;quot; territory. But that&amp;#039;s not to say that a tweed jacket can&amp;#039;t look very young and chic. The key is to pair it with a pair of ripped or trendy jeans and booties. A trendy necklace will also serve to spruce up the look. \u2028   3.The Cardigan  Try an updated version of this wardrobe classic to keep from looking like a grandma. Find a cardigan with visual interest like ruffles, embellishments, or structured sleeves.  Remember, avoid turning classic items into a stuffy uniform\u2014work with what you have to make them your own! Do you have any favorite ways to tweak classic wardrobe staples?
