not-so-basic basics

black denim

leather jacket and white v-neck

navy blazer and a splash of sequins

silk camp shirt

statement necklace

go-to basics are must have pieces in your closet, that can be  incorporated into almost every outfit. these seven not-so-basic basics are staple pieces in my closet. black denim is a must have because it can be dressed up or down. i usually pair my black denim with a blouse and some leather booties. a white v-neck is my go-to piece when i'm having a "i have nothing to wear and i need a whole new wardrobe" moment. a v-neck can be worn casual or tucked into a sequin skirt or lace shorts. a leather jacket can turn any boring outfit into an edgy look. a navy blazer is something that i wear almost everyday to work, but also something that i love wearing with my boyfriend jeans or a pair of dark denim. i own at least six silk camp shirts, which seems ridiculous, but they work with almost all of the pants and skirts i own, and my silk shirts always end up being my staple piece. a statement necklace is a must have piece, that can transform any dull outfit. some necklaces can be layered to get the same affect as one statement piece, although i recommend owning a couple glam statement pieces.
