Let’s talk wardrobe must-haves!
I’m not sure about your closet, but mine is full. And for my small place, it’s not a bad-sized walk-in closet. I love clothes and shoes and I have a definite weakness for shopping for clothes and shoes. That is why my closet is full because when I see something I love I say to myself “Will I regret not getting this and will I leave thinking about it?” The answer is usually yes and so my closet is stuffed to the brim.
Now, despite all that my closet has, there are three items that are in mine that every wardrobe must have!
So, what are those three must-haves?
I’m going to share with you those three items and different ways to style them. I love items to dress up and dress down. That is what you can do with these items. Shall I keep you waiting or shall I share these wardrobe must-haves?
You must have- a black dress, a denim shirt, and sneakers. These items can all be dressed up or down, but your wardrobe must have them, and you’ll have so many other outfit options!
Your wardrobe must have a Denim Shirt!
Denim is a trend that is back! Now, more importantly, you need a denim shirt for options!
Now, a denim shirt is always handy to bring along and you can slip in on in case you get cool. Throw your denim shirt over a dress. Style it with some colored pants or colored denim.
You can also go casual with shorts and a tee and tie your denim shirt around your waist. I like bringing it along to a country concert or a bonfire because it is something I can put on on a cool night. It is handy to have and you will be in style!
You must have White Sneakers in your wardrobe!
I LOVE sneakers! You can wear them with anything! Yes, ANYTHING! Shorts, skirts, jeans, dresses. They are versatile. There are so many brands but the look is the same no matter the brand!
Dress them casual with any shorts, jeans, and casual tops.
Don’t be afraid to wear your sneakers with a skirt or dress because it really is trendy and you can pull it off!
White sneakers are a must! Your wardrobe must-have sneakers to pair with anything!
You must have a black dress …or two!
A black dress in your closet is an absolute must. Whether it’s long or short, you need a black dress! Black is chic. It can be worn anywhere, anytime! You can dress it up or dress it down. And you don’t need just one black dress!
Add some heels, a blazer, or your favorite flats and you’ve got a nice, styled black dress outfit.
You can definitely add statement pieces of jewelry as well to dress up your black dress outfits!
Now, my favorite thing to do is take something you wouldn’t expect and change it up. So let’s take these nice black dresses from our wardrobe and dress them down. All it takes is a casual top, whether that be a tee, a sweater, a plaid shirt, or a denim shirt. Throw on some sneakers, tennis shoes, or Sperrys, and….voila! You’ve taken your black dress from fancy to casual.
So, do not be afraid to style that black dress up or down! It will look fabulous either way!
Here is the thing I want you all to know about fashion, be confident! Do you! Try different combinations of clothes you have in your closet. You don’t always have to go out and buy new to refresh what is in your wardrobe already! I already had every single one of the pieces of clothing that I shared in these pictures. I just tried styling them in different ways! Don’t be afraid to do that! Be CONFIDENT in YOU!!
So…how do you style these three wardrobe must-haves? Share your ideas!
Have a good one!
