Basics

Lately I've been thinking that it's time to invest in some quality basic pieces instead of buying them on the cheap. These pieces are so versatile and I think they are worth spending a little more money on because they are timeless. After putting this list together though I've realized everything pictured below is black, but I think that's because you can take these pieces and build off of them to make the outfit more interesting.


4. LBD

Other items I've thought of are trouser pants, boots, a pencil skirt, a button up top, a cardigan, etc. There are a lot more basic items than I had originally thought, but all of these items are the starting point to most outfits.

What would you add to this list? I know I must be forgetting some items.

Linking up with Molly.

  1. I think having a wardrobe staple in black in each category is a must! I know that my black blazer, pants and heels are always my go-tos!

  10. I agree on splurging when it comes to basics... it's definitely worth the investment! Those DVF pumps are gorgeous and such a great price... wish they had them in my size!
