Back to the Basics
Sometimes getting back to the basics can apply to so many areas in life also your wardrobe. I love having statement pieces, but having key basics will withstand all the trends. Basics are items you can practically wear for any occasion, dressing them up or down to suit your needs and style. They can be combined with a great cardigan, belt, blazer, heels, flats, tennis shoes, and accessories the options are literally endless.
Below are some basics I think every woman should have:
Little Black Dress (LBD): A little black dress is so extremely versatile. You can literally belt it, throw on a blazer or cardigan, heels, or flats. One thing I really love about a little black dress is that it’s so easy to transition from day to night.
White Button-Down Shirt: A nice button-down shirt always looks so crisp, clean and chic! They can be styled easy and serve as great layering pieces. Also, even perfect to transition from the office to a night out; easily paired with jeans, trousers, or a skirt.
Jeans: If you don’t jump to put jeans on baby you don’t feel my pain. Literally this is me sis! Finding the right pair of denim has always been a task for me. I think I’ve finally found my key stores to find great jeans that fit my hips as well as my waist. My favorite being high-waist denim, because they play up my shape and look super sleek.
Assortment of Basic Tees: I also believe basic soft tees are beneficial. I have an assortment of colors from black, white, gray, maroon, stripped, tan etc. These are again great layering pieces to throw on with a blazer or cardigan and for everyday casual looks. Easily change your accessories and the look can be totally different.
Blazer: A structured blazer is a must have. Most people think of blazers just for work, but they can be worn for a casual look as well. You can transition an office look by keeping on the blazer adding a great pair of jeans and heels. Blazers also provide shape and give you a put together look.
I will be showcasing more looks with some great basics as we transition into fall.
