I Love Adding a Trendy Touch to My Classic Style—These Items Are on My Wish List

When it comes to my style, I tend to favor classic, understated, and timeless pieces over everything else. But in true Gemini form, I love duality when it comes to my style choices. Occasionally, I love a bold print, a vibrant color, and a super-trendy look.
Many of my best outfits come when I add just the right trendy touch to my existing classic pieces. Think a sheer skirt with a classic crewneck sweater or a boho blouse with basic denim. Trust me—the trendy-meets-classic combos are not to be missed this season.
Luckily, there are plenty of exciting and wearable trends that I can't wait to incorporate into my day-to-day uniform. Below, I'm sharing some of my favorite pieces on the market right now that feel fresh and of-the-moment and will add the perfect trendy touch to my wardrobe staples.
