Mastering The Basics

So, have you done your closet cleanse yet?? If not, have at least started with the first week?? Well if you have, I salute you. (I recommend you clean your closet every season). However if it a little over whelming, just take it week by week. (Read last week’s blog)

Ok, now that you have done your closet cleanse. You may look at your closet and realize that it’s a little empty right?? Well I have been doing closet cleanse for a while now and something I notice in 99% of wardrobes is that there is a severe deficiency in the basics. Without them, you will surely spend many mornings saying I have nothing to wear. When your closet is stocked with great fitting and well-made timeless pieces. Your style potential has no limits.

  I’m going to give a list of Starter Basics that every “Style Chic” should have in their wardrobe.

Top

o    White button –up

o    Tee/tanks in neonatal colors

Bottoms

o    Black slacks

o    Pencil Skirt

Denim

o    Dark jeans

o    Skinny jeans

o    Black jeans

Jacket

o    Black blazer/jacket

o    Leather jacket

o    Suit jacket

Dresses

o    Little black dress

o    Wrap dress

o    Cocktail dress

Shoes

o    Black pumps

o    Nude pumps

o    Flats

o    Boots

o    Stylish Sneakers

 Next, make a copy stick it in your purse and hunt down those pieces the next time you go shopping. Don’t worry, I don’t expect you to buy then all at once, that’s why I call it the starter basic checklist because there is more. This is so supposed to be easy right, so I don’t want you to fell overwhelm at all, however challenge yourself to start building your foundation before spending money on the fun stuff.

 So until next time, keep styling
