Wardrobe Basics
Tuesday, October 7, 2008
I was recently asked what i felt every woman/girl should have in their wardrobe so here is my novel of an answer !
My number one must have is a GREAT fitting pair of jeans. I think everyone will agree on this one. Go into a store and try on as many as you can until you find the perfect one. Usual I suggest a dark wash because they make the legs look slimmer and they can be dressed up or down easily. And don’t be afraid to splurge a little if needed because they should last a long time!
I live where it’s warm for 3 months and chilly the rest so I always suggest a great coat. I love trench coats! They easy to wear go with everything and suit everyone. I also LOVE leather jackets as long as it’s a great fitting jacket that isn’t too motorcycle but really chic!
Of course I think we all know this one a little black dress. Find one that fits your body well and stick with it. They can be accessorized in so many ways! Everyone needs a perfect black dress.
Layering is the best way to create an effective outfit because it adds lots of dimension and helps in situations when temperature is changing. Just think of the endless possibilities you have one layering your clothing, so stock of a simple v-neck t-shirts and tanks.
Shoes! Depending on where in the world you live you footwear needs may change so some people should invest in a great pair of boots that’ll be used and others should invest in a shoe for warmer climate like peep toes etc. but everyone needs a great all black stiletto. The higher the heel the better! And by no means does that mean spend 500 dollars on a pair of louboutins there are many places where you can get a great stiletto for a fraction of the cost such as aldo.
Blazers. EVERYONE must own a blazer they are so versatile and can make any outfit look chic. Weather it’s a pair of jeans, a dress pant or a skirt a blazer adds that finished touch to almost any outfit.
Cardigans are great. They’re a classic piece that can be found anywhere in every color- great for a simple outfit.
Summer/Spring dress- a lightweight brightly colored dress in perfect for anyone even if it can’t be worn year round. Depending on your body type/ what you prefer a maxi dress of a mini dress will be perfect!
Skirts are also a must for everyone’s closet. Whether it’s a mini skirt or a to the knee skirt they easily make any outfit girly and can be worn with a plain white t-shirt and a cardigan and you’d still look fab! (A+ if you thought of adding a blazer to that combo!)
A graphic/band T is crucial for the days when you just want to feel edgy and fashionable but still have the laid back vibe. Paired with those perfect fitting jeans and leather jacket and of course the must have chucks you’ll look fab.
As mentioned above converse chuck
I have really sensitive eyes and I think that staying protected from the sun is really important anyways so sunglasses are big for me and I think everyone should invest in a great pair of UV protection sunnies! Whether you like a classic aviator or 60’s inspired bug eye, sunglasses protect you from the sun and can instantly make you look chic!
Riding boot are the perfect boot for everyday wear. Women are always busy and on their feet and I mean let’s face it sometimes it’s just easier to throw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt! But shoes are easy to put on and take off so always play with the shoes to give your boring jeans and a T a little bit of a trendy flair! Tuck your jeans into a riding boot and throw on a blazer or cardigan and you’ll be amazed at how much it really changes the outfit!
That’s all I can think of for now my lovelies but ill come back with a Part 2 soon :)
