Basics That Everyone Should Have in Their Wardrobe
Well since I can’t seem to upload any pics, I thought I would revisit any old post of mine.
Every year there are new trends that people follow. However there is no law that you have to follow them. I almost never do. That is probably because I have so many other things to buy other than clothes. So what is in my closet you might ask. Well the basics. And with the basics u can add fun pieces that make your closet seem endless. Have fun and splurge on the important things.
My basics: (and remember I live in Barbados so I have no need for some things other might need):
. A pair of jeans that fit well
. A little black dress
. A great handbag
. A pencil skirt (black will be slimming)
. Plain white t-shirts
. Well-fitting underwear and bra
. A white button-down shirt
. Wrap dress in a variety of colours
. A nice watch
. A gold chain
. A casual dress
. A pair of stud earrings
. Sunglasses
. Black heels (comfortable)
. Cute flip flops
. Ballet flats
. A great pair of sneakers
. A pair of wide leg trousers
. Skinny Jeans (thanks Kiki, I can’t believe I forgot those)
Well I hope my list inspired you in some way. If you have any basics that you keep in your closet, feel free to share.


I really do need to rethink my closet! Good list!

I need the perfect pencil skirt too, and I need some sandals that aren’t bent out of shape, nice list.

I have everything on this list with the exception of the black heels… sad I know

Ooh don’t forget a black cardigan! Or if black ain’t your thing, any colour really. As far as I’m concerned, a wardrobe doesn’t exist unless a cardigan is present.
Lol. Jeans are pretty awesome too.
Great list, very thorough.

I like your list:D I have almost all of those except the important black heels (still searching for the perfect ones) and the flip-flops (just cause I can’t stand wearing them
)
Although I would also add the trench, cardigan and leather jacket but that’s cause the weather here can get really chilly in winter.

i will have to keep that in mind next time i feel the need to spurlge on an item [since i only like to splurge on classic stuff]
wanna link up?

I would have to say something floral or a flowy skirt. Even in the winter it’ll remind you of spring and perk up your day.

That’s the ultimate summer basics list! Great job!!
I love when people do this sort of thing because it takes me ages to brainstorm ideas when it comes to basics or must-haves. It was most helpful!

Sure, I’ll link you! My wardrobe doesn’t have many classics. I’m just not a classic person, to be honest! My basics are very different to what you’d expect, hehe.

I like your list. But of course we can link. I’m adding you right now.

Yes yes yes! Ballet flats is classic.

I agree with you on this list. I think it looks really stylish when a girl is wearing a cool mens watch… I’m thinking of buying one

Hello There,
I totally agree with you about the “well-fitting Underwear and Bra.”
Allow me to quickly introduce myself. My names Tia and I’m the Community Manager for an online lingerie store called Herroom.
Anyway, I truly believe that not only do undergarments need to fit well, but they play a huge role in fashion. Undergarments definitely help to boost your body. Wouldn’t you agree?
Did you know that there’s an Undie Awards that happens every year? Yep! The Undie Awards! It’s held by Herroom. It’s a revealing look at America’s favorite underwear. It honors the best (and worst) in men’s and women’s intimate apparel. This year was extremely special because we were able to raise money for Cancer Research.
Well, unfortunately, the awards are over but I do have a list of the ”Best Summer Bras” as voted on by American Women in the Undie Awards for average and full figured women. I would love if you blogged about it. May I send you the list and pics?
Best,
Tia
