If You are the kind of shopper that I am that instantly enters a store and sees something that you think you need and ends up buying it and never wearing it. That is basically me. That is why I have a shopping problem. Probably too many other young woman out there also suffer from the same problem as I. I understand perfectly that Is why I came up with a list on my fashion journal, key pieces that every woman should have in her closet. Us Woman tend to buy so many crap, we do. It is the truth is time to put on our big girl panties and accept that sometimes we over buy. We see something and we attack like a predator. because we think we need it and if not we will plan an event just so we can wear what we bought. being a senior in college means that after I graduate I will NEED A JOB. I have included in my "must have in the closet" list, a couple of items that would be great for me and you, not only for a job interview but also for a casual day, dinner party, relaxing weekend or even if your traveling. This list is perfect for the college student, mother, wife, sister or neighbor It will help all of us not over buy or pack when we are traveling. So here i go.
The little black dress also know as (LBD), I think every woman doesn't matter what age or size should have an appropriate black dress. It's great for interviews, for a night out or simply if you don't know what to wear one day, just rock the LBD. The LBD has saved me from so many fashion catastrophes. I always have it clean and pressed for those moments when I need a little help. And the good thing about it is it makes you look thinner, which that's a plus and is also a neutral color.
The Classy Trench Coat- My mom always tells me that a Trench coat makes you look more elegant and well put together It also wraps your waist which creates a waistline and makes you look more feminine. The trench coat is perfect for the rainy days but also for fall, spring I actually use mine all year around I just add more layers. It is great for your everyday life.
Your Everyday Blazer- Lets just say that I live in a blazer. I do ! My blazer is my best friend. It is great if you want to look professional, and also great for day and night. you can wear it with anything. from dresses, skirts, jeans, trousers, leggings, you name it. I think this is the one thing a woman should invest in getting a good blazer that will last long and you know that where ever you go you can take it with you.
The Perfect pair of jeans- Now, I included a pair of denims, they are not a light or dark wash but medium. I always have a pair of Medium denims, why? because again it goes with anything also I buy them regular length and skinny or straight. That way I know that If I am planning a weekend getaway or just go grocery shopping or even to the movies I have many options. I am not only stuck with one idea. I can style it many different ways.
Nude pumps- Elongate your legs, go with every outfit, great for day and night, also very classy shoes. Enough said couldn't summarize it better.
Casual Comfy Flats- Great for everyday routine, good for work, school or tired feet. I always carry a pair in my handbag you know just in case.
Perfect day to night bag- This bag is perfect because you can use it different ways, you can carry it as a messenger bag but also as a normal hand bag is good for everyday and is a bag that you can transition from day to night because it's a medium size bag.
Emergency, Yet classy Blouse- Yes I call it the emergency blouse not because i am going to the hospital. but because It is white, again a neutral color, it goes with everything and when I need it she is always their to rescue me.
I think if we all have these items in our closet we would always be happy with what we have and not feel the urge to buy a new item every time we have an event. Each piece is versatile and can be worn different way's, you just have to play with it and see what looks better on you. Although I have included mostly high end products you can take this as a guide to what you want to find. Their are many affordable nude pumps, trench coats and little black dresses under 100 dollars.
Enjoy and thanks for visiting !!!
XOXO Andrea
