 Tell me about your style
My style is personal. It’s a constant reinvention of different tastes.

BACK TO BASICS

Hey doll,

How's the week coming along? Hope well. Okay, there are some items that absolutely must not miss your closet, they need to be ready and waiting for you.. These make up the basis of your wardrobe, they’re the must haves, no matter your style.To avoid asking yourself "what i am going to wear today", ensure that you have at least all the pieces that i am going to list done for you. These are just simple items that I think are essential to looking, feeling and living fabulous. So Aside from handbag, jewellery box, Nail polish and make up kit among other pieces, below are what every lady should have in there closet.



Black fitted Blazer
Black blazer is key in your wardrobe. Because it’s black, it goes with virtually everything. You can change the look just by changing the accessories



.Nothing brings a look together and polishes it off more than adding a blazer. It is a great piece to layer on top of a nice blouse or even a casual funky tee.

A Little Black/White Dress
We all know, black is the most slimming color no matter you body type.But hey a white one isn't bad too after all. these two pieces are the go to outfits when you are planning to go party.





You always need an old reliable in your closet.

Skinny Jeans
Everyone should have a pair of favorite jeans, you know, the kind of jeans that make you feel sexy, pulled together, and comfortable.



These jeans should be current in style, and the cut should be one that flatters your best assets.

Cardigan Sweaters
Cardigan sweaters are great for those times when you don’t know what the weather will be like, so you just carry one in your handbag.



If you get warm, you can always throw the cardigan over your shoulders and tie around your neck, and if you’re chilly, you can wear it.

Trench Coat

A trench is a necessary staple because it never goes out of style.



You will never go wrong with a trench in your closet.

Tank Top and Tees

Classic, comfortable and versatile, tank tops and tees should be a wardrobe stable in even the most fashionable woman’s closet.


The classic black or white tank or tee can be casual or dressy depending on what you choose to pair it with. It’s important to have something in your closet that you can just throw on when you’re feeling like rocking a less high maintenance look.

Knee high Pencil SkirtIf you need a chic elegant look, pencil skirt is the go to.


It is a great look with a button down shirt even when it isn’t technically in fashion and with something as classy as a pencil skirt, it’s never long before it’s all the rage again.

A Pair of Black High Heels
Black heels go with everything, they won’t get too dirty, and they can also go from day to night.




Scarf

Scarves add a point of interest and create a personality in an outfit that sometimes is lost when one isn't worn.


A Statement Necklace
Jewelry in general makes a woman look put together and shows that she cares about her appearance.

A bold statement necklace should always be paired with something simpler, because you don't want one item to out play the other.
