Basics Every Girl Needs to Have in Her Closet : Part 1
There's a saying my Aunt always told me: "Buy what you NEED, not what you WANT." This may be one of the few situations where this applies.
To put together a polished look, one needs 3 things, 1.) Classic (where the basics come in) 2.)Statement 3.) Accent (accessories). In my opinion, it's very difficult for an outfit to look polished without any classic pieces. Sometimes, an outfit lacking a classic piece comes off as gaudy, cheap, or just a little too hard on the eyes.
So, every girl needs the following for her closet:
Skinny Cargo Pants: Which actually may sound a bit weird and too...'Lara Croft' on Tomb Raider, but these babies are actually a great jeans alternative! I wore them pretty much most of the winter and they matched with anything! It's a great way to be fashion forward yet not too outlandish! Great with combat boots, oxfords, flats, pretty much any shoe! Definitely a more fashion-forward choice than just plain jeans.
Black & Khaki shorts: Neutral. Need I saw more? Grab an affordable pair at H&M.
Skorts: A bit weird sounding, but a good way to be functional yet feminine at the same time! Beats having to cross your legs the whole time whilst sitting down!
Jeggings: Practically takes up ZERO room in the suitcase, it also looks just as well as skinny jeans. I suggest getting several styles.
Skirts: I suggest getting some in black/white first & an A-Line type. Then move on to more brighter colors and patterns.
A Pair of Corduroys- Understated sophistication for the minimalists.
Tights: Hoisery is probably one of the easiest things to layer regardless of the occasion. I suggest try the black ones first, then move on to more unique styles.
Leggings: A woman's best friend on I'm-too-lazy-too-pick-an-outfit days. Can be easily dressed up with a leather jacked and slouchy tee, T-shirt dress, the options are almost limitless.
