10 pieces every girl should own
11:29 AMIf you're anything like me, getting dressed in the morning can be a struggle. I used to fill my closet with trendy pieces, that made it difficult to create outfits; that is until I realized the power of creating a classic capsule wardrobe. To me its so much more important to invest in timeless, versatile pieces that will stay in your closet for years rather than buying that trendy top that will only last two seasons at most. Here are 10 staple pieces that can be mixed and matched, making getting ready in the morning a breeze.
1. The Camel Coat
The camel coat is a staple in every fashion girls closet. It's timeless, it's chic, and it can be dressed up or down for any occasion.
Ralph Lauren-$315- As a proud owner of this coat, I can justify the price. No one does classic like Ralph Lauren. The lapels are just the right size, the 3 buttons perfectly align so you can easily wear it open or closed without looking sloppy, and the fabric is durable. This will be a item to keep in your wardrobe for years to come.
2.The Little Black Dress.
No item is more of a blank slate for accessioning and styling, yet still completely chic on its own. Bravo LBD! You're always there for me whether its for a date, a job interview, or a casual night out. I don't know what I would do without you.
3. The Moto Jacket
A black moto jacket is an essential layering piece that instantly makes everything look cooler. It can add an edge to the girliest of prints, it transitions summer dresses into fall, and it looks great with a tee and jeans. I don't care what you say, I honestly believe this is a staple piece that no wardrobe should go without.
Andrew Marc-$150- If faux leather is more your thing, this jacket is perfect. The faux fur collar is detachable to keep things fresh.
4.The Perfect Jean
When it comes to finding the perfect jean the options are endless pair them with a camel coat, a moto jacket, or go for a denim on denim look! I recommend sticking to slim/skinny fit because they will always be in style.
5.The Cashmere Sweater
Sweaters are a winter necessity. Cashmere is perfect because its not bulky so it can be easily layered under a winter coat, yet it's surprisingly warm so it can be worn alone on those less chilly days. Cashmere doesn't easily pill or stretch, so if you take care of it will last a lifetime.
6. The Ankle Boot
The ankle boot is the perfect shoe. It transitions beautifully from summer, to fall, to winter. Personally I love pairing my Chelsea boots with a girly dress for a unexpected twist. It adds the perfect amount of edge without being too overbearing.
7.The Forever Bag
Bags always seem to be the perfect finishing touch to every outfit. It makes you look polished, stylish, and put together without even trying. Instead of buying 20 different purses from the clearance rack at target, why don't you invest that money in a forever bag? Invest in something that will never go out of style, so keep the colors neutral and practical.
8.The Statement Necklace
Whether you like something that packs a punch or something that is more subtle, the statement necklace adds interest and texture to your outfit. You can add it to a t-shirt and jeans it instantly makes you look put together and polished. The statement necklace can be worn with literally anything, so it's the perfect wardrobe essential.
9.The Cardigan
The cardigan is a versatile layering piece that can be dressed up over a dress for work, or dressed down with jeans on a night out. Its easy and comfortable to wear especially in those chilly fall months.
10.The Basic Tee
Feeling casual? Pair it with distressed denim and a moto jacket. Want to dress to impress? Wear it with a skirt, or layer it over a dress. The possibilities are endless.
