Wardrobe Essentials 101: The Basics

There are so many staple pieces we all need to make the most of our outfits, but today these are the ones we'll focus on:

• Long sleeve cotton or linen shirt: this will save your outfits for every season whether it be layering or looking effortlessly classy.

• Jeans: arguably my favorite staple, you need to get a dark wash + a light wash, but ladies NO RIPS...please no rips we are past the 2000s. Great brands to look at are Citizens of Humanity for a pair of jeans you'll keep forever, or for a more budget option, H&M has an amazing selection.

• Layering tank: I promise you this will save your life this winter when wearing your adorable sweaters, and then this summer when you can wear them with cute skirts and pants. So find the brand you like, personally I love Maeve from Anthropologie, and then buy in as many colors as your heart, or your closet, desires!

• Belt: A classic accessory and always good to have on hand - my current fave is from Target for 20 dollars so don't think you need to break the bank to find the best.

• Sneakers: This can be a tricky staple as I know the fun sneakers are so enticing to buy, but I promise you you will want a pair that matches with EVERY outfit. Personally, my favorite would have to be my Vejas with the grey V, but Vintage Havanas are amazing too. And the on the plus side, you don't have to break either of these pairs in!
