Essentials in your wardrobe
The foundation wardrobe should contain
|
|
SUITS - 2 pantsuits & a formal evening suit. Make sure the pieces can be worn separately.
|
 |
 |
SWEATERS - a black and a white turtleneck, a cardigan, a pullover | |
|
TOPS - a buttondown, 2 camisoles, 3 fun/evening tops, 2 T-shirts (short or longsleeve), 2 "work" tops (wrap or silk), 2 tanks. Always have a black & a white color from every item. |
 |
 |
JACKETS - a denim jacket, a blazer, a little Chanel style jacket that looks good with jeans or for evening. Don't forget that black, white and blue goes with everything.
| |
|
PANTS - black pants is a must. they go with everything and matches with all colors. White pants can add to your cloth a fresh and young look. |
 |
 |
JEANS - for many of us, these are a wardrobe staple. Have at least 2 pairs, or go for it & have a wardrobe - longer for wearing with higher heels, shorter to pair with flat shoes, and cropped for showing off the fabulous summer pedicures. | |
|
DRESSES - the minimum is a little black dress. This is an essential rule. With all the fun color options out there this season, opt for a colorful summer dress you can throw on & look great in seconds |
 |
 |
SHOES - a pair of shoes or any close-toed option that you can use to dress up your jeans or pants; a pair of casual every-day kicks, an "everything" casual shoe (like a flip flop or Uggs), a pair of casual boots & a pair of dressy boots, and a pair of workout shoes. | |
|
OUTERWEAR - An overcoat, a windbreaker, and a raincoat. This season is great for chic trenches, so keep your body type in mind & take advantage of the windfall. |
 |
 |
HANDBAGS - one for everyday, one casual tote for running errands or going to the market, a briefcase or work tote, and an evening bag. This is the bare minimum - feel free to expand on your collection | |
|
LINGERIE - 3 good bras are the minimum: a smooth one to wear under t-shirts, a racerback and an "everyday" bra. A good bras should contain all your boobs in leaving nothing popping out of them. As for panties, thongs, and frou-frou sleepwear, the sky's the limit. |
 |
|
 |
|
|
ACCESSORIES - wraps, scarves, jewelry, hats, belts, hair accessories. Make sure you know what you own, and that you wear everything matching together. Don't overload yourself with too much accessories. A great tip: Hang up a corkboard in your room: you can stick brooches right into it, and hang necklaces and earrings from pushpins. |
