Closet Essentials

A Few of My Favorite Things...

Have you ever opened up your closet doors and just stared into the array of chaos, wondering why choosing an outfit becomes the hardest part of your day? I think we've all been there, and most of the time we just end up wearing something we are not even satisfied with! Whether it's dressing for a girls night out or even just another day of school; we can all agree that getting dressed can be quite a time consuming task. At times, I am overwhelmed by the amount of clothes that sit in my closet and gradually collect dust, just because I can't find the right pair of shoes or accessories to go with it. I've learned (the hard way) that it's not necessarily what you have in your closet, but more so the quality of it. For me, my quality items are the ones I put to most use. When it comes down to creating an ideal closet, there a few items that are absolutely essential. It is very easy to build outfits when you already have the basics, so today I'm going to share with you my favorite "closet must-haves."

1. The Perfect Pair of Jeans

Is there such thing as going wrong with a pair of skinny jeans? The answer is no. The good thing about jeans is that they will never go out of style, and they can be as versatile as you would like them to be. Dress them up with a pair of pumps and a sheer button-down for a night out, or slip on your favorite pair of flats with a casual tank for a family brunch.

                  

2. A Little Black Dress

All women should own at least one LBD at all times. Not only does black accentuate the body, it is also easy to build upon. Shoes and accessories become ultimately up to you at this point. I can always count on my little black dress to make me feel beautiful and confident, even on my worst days. 

    

3. A Pair of Classic Converses

As a college student, I can tell you first-hand that comfort comes before anything else. Most college students spend their weekdays going to class, running errands, and cramming study sessions. A classic pair of white converses are affordable, comfortable, and goes with just about anything. The cute and casual street-style is a favorite of mine, and I find myself wearing my converses almost everyday.
