Fashion Essentials

Fashion can be challenging for some. The best way to create your true fashionista self is to start with the basics. The basics are what your wardrobe is built around. The basics are constants in the fashion world; something that never goes out of style. These basics were worn by your grandmothers and mother and will be worn by you and future generations.

An essential for any classic woman is a; crisp, white, shirt. Audrey had one, Marilyn wore one, and you should have one. Go for a fitted fit to keep it stylish, but not bulky.
Another essential is a great pair of fitting jeans. The jeans that no matter what will fit you and you will look good in. The best jeans are transitional. They can be dressed up with a pair of heals and hot top, or paired with a crisp shirt, blazer, and flats and worn casually at work.
The Little Black Dress; enough said.

A large handbag is another essential. The large bag for the day that carries all your lives essentials than some. There are so many totes, shoulder bags, and hobos out there that an ugly bag is no excuse. Another essential is an evening bag is both black and brown. Its a drag to carry a large bag to dinner or out to the club. A cute little shoulder bag is perfect for the club and a gorgeous clutch is great for dinners or drinks out.
A dress coat is a dark color is a must. Like the little black dress it’s another go to piece. This coat can be worn for holidays, events, and to work.
Knee high boots in both brown and black are another must. These boots can be worn out on the town, or worn with a skirt or dress to add that chic touch. Especially in the winter they provide more coverage compared to a pair heels.
A light cardigan is another fashion staple. Whether this sweater is button down or has a hood and a zipper it is a must all the same. It can be worn over a dress or paired with a t shirt.
Flats are another fashion must. They are dressier than flip flops and flats and add spice to your daily jeans.
A long sleeved tee both with a graphic print and plain tee is another fashion must. It is the winter alternative to the t shirt.
Finally my last fashion essential is jewelry. A pair of diamond studs and a silver bracelet is two classics.
So whether you are just forming your fashion wardrobe, adding to your already expansive collection, or are starting over from scratch this list should get you started onto the right path.
