You might think okay I have most of these, but I know a lot of people that don't and a lot of people that do and don't realize the value that these items can bring. So here are my top ten must have items that women should have in their wardrobe at all times and tips on when to wear them, how to wear them and the secret ways you can that you probably never thought of before
The Black Blazer
Don't just look at this item and think boring work attire. Think of it as a classy and sophisticated item that can be the perfect completer piece to your ensemble. It looks amazing with anything skirts, shorts, jeans and pants. Roll up the sleeves for a more casual look like this one from Net-A-Porter
The Lace Shirt
It's been around forever but it is a classic. It can give any ensemble the va va voom it needs. It's sexy borderline risque, but with the right accesories it can make you look ravishing and rich. Think Lisa from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She has one in every shade of pink and purple and always gets it right. Also, try lighter fabrics to give it a softer more chic feminine edge like this one from ASOS
The Statement Shoe
Every girl probably has one but if you don't you really should..and more then one. The perfect shoe to take a boring mundane outfit to the next level. A hint of color, a mix of texture is sometimes just what a girl needs to get notice. There is nothing wrong with having a shoe in every color. Just please do me a favor and don't go all color by numbers and start matching shoes to bags to shirts to makeup. Tack Central. Choose things that "go" not "match" Try these on for size at Endless
The White Tee
The white tee is your best friend believe it or not. It is always there for you whether you want to believe it or not. With a cardigan to the store with a vest, blazer, jewels it can be totally transformed. Tuck it into a high waisted short or pant for something simple and chic. The next time you are standing in front of your closet not knowing what to wear. Grab items #3, #8 and #10 and head out the door. Find this one at ASOS
The Wide Leg Pant
The trend might be skinny but tides are turning. The wide leg pant always comes in and out of the trends but I believe it to be a classic. The trick is getting the width right for your body. If you get it right it will elongate your leg and make you look thinner. Perfect with a sandal and a tank for a night out or blouse it up at the office. These are perfect and are from Net-A-Porter
Sequins!!
Every girl should have a lil pop in her closet and in life for that matter. When your feeling down or a lil randy pull out that sparkly top to brighten you up. Sequins are everywhere. Not just on reruns of The Golden Girls. In the last year, there has been a huge resurgence and you can find it pretty much on everything. If you are a lil shy try it in just a bag. For those of you who have no problem being bold try it in different, patterns, colors and cuts to stand out from the rest. Like these from Forever21
The Little Black Dress
Every girl has one and if you don't shame on you! That slinky little dress that hits your body in all the right places which is why you pull it out when you have that really hot date. Here is a little tip though ladies. That LBD (this one is from ASOS)can be working overtime and you don't even know it. Throw on a sweater or button down over it with a leather bomber and you get the look of a skirt in your favorite dress. Don't forget layering can be a girls best friend to get the most out of your wardrobe. Next time you're bored go home, throw on some Madonna and play!
The Best Butt Jeans
Ah denim!! Curse ye!! It can be daunting when it comes to jean shopping. Too big, too small, too expensive, stretch, no stretch..before you know it you are being asked to leave the store because you have spent an hour in the dressing room crying. Here is a tip. When it comes to denim DO NOT conform to trends. If boot cut is what works for you roll with it, if you can pull of skinny by all means, wide leg sure! Whatever your cut is, when you find that pair buy it in every color they have. Write down where you got it, when you got it so you know where to find more. About 71% of Americans bought jeans last year and I can bet that these Seven jeans from Net-A-Porter where a huge part of that. Perfect color, fade and cut
The Clutch
So what if it doesn't fit all your stuff, I don't want to hear it! It's dainty, cute, chic and you need to have one. Hell one you need to have twenty! There are so many options out there that your best bet is to actually spend a little more on your bag. It will last longer of course but what many people don't realize is how cheap their bags can actually look. If you are buying from a store without doors expect it to look like thats where you got it. These bags from Endless are reasonably priced and have a little oomph to them. Classic black texture, they will never go out of style so why not spend just a little more, especially for something that goes with everything. So cut down on the janitor keys, leave the makeup briefcase at home and make room for a chic clutch.
The Crown Jewels
Everyone has their everyday jewlery and their "fancy jewlery" but what most women need is that statement piece. That piece that makes them feel one of a kind. The piece or pieces that you break out when you are in a pinch. Feeling low, dont know what to wear. You break out you big bangles or, bling ring and suddenly it all comes together. It's like a secret weapon. I use it all the time. Don't o.d on them though. They are like a pinch hitter for when you have nothing new or nothing looks good. I love these here from TopShop
