With trends being so ever-changing, it can be easy to spend a ton of money on your wardrobe from month to month. From tye-dye to band tees, it can be overwhelming when your on a budget to decide what items are worth spending your hard earned money on. I have put together a list of wardrobe basics that I cannot live without, have been truly wearing nonstop, and are great transitional pieces for Fall! These basics can be used to create so many looks- every woman should have them!
High Waisted Denim
I CANNOT live without a good pair of high waisted denim. I can truly put my Boyish (size up) high waisted jeans with anything in my closet and let’s be real, I usually do! They are so flattering because the accentuate the smallest part of your waist and all of my pairs are very comfortable. I prefer the “mom jean” look, so my Boyish pair are my fav’s, but I also love my high waisted skinnies! You do you girl, but get yourself a pair of high waisted jeans!
Solid Body Suit
I cannot emphasize enough how versatile a great body suit is. A body suit can be worn with shorts, jeans, or joggers and can be dressed up and dressed own. It is true wardrobe basic and is a great transition piece for Fall, just toss a cute jacket or a cardi over it and you’re good to go. My favorite body suit (TTS) is from Nordstrom. Love how simple, comfortable, and affordable it is!
Neutral Colored Sandals
I have a few different colored neutral pairs of shoes, but if you are on a budget, I would suggest picking one pair that will go with most things you own. I featured my black sandals (1/2 size up) because they go with the majority of the items in my closet. This pair is super affordable and great quality!
Denim Jacket
I have had my Levi’s denim jacket (similar) for almost six years now and I still love wearing it. It is a classic piece that can be paired with a dress, skirt, leggings, denim, black jeans and white jeans. I mean it is seriously the OG of closet staples. They can be somewhat pricey, but definitely worth it when they can be paired with so many items. If you don’t have a denim jacket, you need to get you one ASAP!
Lightweight Cardigan
A lightweight cardigan (TTS) is the perfect basic for anyone’s closet. They will truly never go out of style, are neither to feminine or “tomboy” and can be worn on a cool summer night, a fall afternoon, and under a heavy winter coat. I would recommend a neutral color like black, gray, or oatmeal depending on the items in your closet.
Happy Shopping!
Lookin good!
