Have you ever walked into your closet and realize you have a lot of clothes but really nothing to wear? Or you have some cardigans and no layering pieces? That was me!! So, I have come up with some basic pieces to take your wardrobe to next level or at least give you a starting point. From the classic white button up and a versatile black cardigan to dark denim jeans, here are a few the basic items start with!
Tops
The first and most important basic top you need in your wardrobe is a crisp white button up. A white button up is key for layering with a cardigan and those dark denim jeans I mentioned earlier.
Next, is the basic white t-shirt, this is a piece that you can never go wrong with purchasing. It is a perfect layering piece. I probably have about 10 different styles of the white t-shirt. I would highly suggest purchasing a long sleeve version and a black one as well.
A cardigan is also a perfect piece to add to your wardrobe. I would

Lastly, I would get a nice coat. You can go with fur-trimmed, down, or wool, but a winter coat should offer enough room to accommodate a sweater or jacket.
Bottoms
One of my favs of this post is the dark denim
Black Dress Pants. It literally took me 2 years to find the perfect black trouser. So don’t give up.
A simple black pencil skirt is a staple piece. Its essential for work, but also can be worn with a simple t-shirt for a casual vibe or dressed up with a button up or sweater.
I hope everyone has a good start to the new year. I am looking forward to embracing change and getting out of my comfort zone in 2019. What do you guys want to accomplish in 2019? Let me know, I would love to hear.
Part 2 of the Basic Wardrobe series will include dresses and shoes.
