Do you ever have those days where you’re standing in front of your closet, and you have too many clothes and you cannot decide what to wear? That’s like everyday of my life, but I’ve come to realize that there are certain clothes I reach for more than others because they are staple items. And because every woman deserves to look good, here are some must have clothes.
1. A kick ass pair of jeans. The pair must flatter your figure, go with every shirt you own, and allow you to wear any kind of shoe with it; your jeans should be versatile. Shop for your figure, though. I prefer skinny jeans because they show off my legs which is one of my better assets. And also make sure that the color compliments your skin tone, I go dark wash, but check out the jeans spectrum to find the color that suits you.

2. A solid white V-neck or a white scoop neck shirt. White goes with anything, so you can pair this with your kick ass jeans and other pants. A white top can also easily go with a crazy colored skirt, and you can also wear your white tee with lounge clothes or to bed. Again, this white top is versatile and indispensable. Hell, I own three white V-necks and I have to wash them each week because I am always wearing them.

3. Of course a little black dress for when you are going out. This is a classic and every woman must own one, so ’nuff said!

4. A cardigan, in any color you want. Cardigans can be worn with jeans or leggings and can be for day or night. They’re perfect for winter for a little extra layering and also wearable during a spring or summer night or if it’s cool outside. I’m attached to my hot pink one.

5. A solid pair of black leggings because they allow for a quick outfit. I sometimes just throw an oversized T-shirt on paired with my leggings, or I can pair it with my white V-neck and cardigan. And sometimes if you’re sick of the restriction in jeans, it’s nice to be able to move in leggings. I prefer capris leggings, but whatever works.

6. A cute dress for when you are going to a BBQ, maybe someone’s soccer game, or just a night out with friends. Preferably in a bright color or a wild pattern. Sometimes you want to get a little dressed up, but not go all out in your ball gown.

7. A pair of TOMS because I swear these are the next generation of ballet flats and they go with anything. You can pair your TOMS with shorts, or a skirt or your jeans or your leggings. I am in love with my black classic canvas pair, but if you’re a little more bold try a fun color or print. And, not only do TOMS go with anything, they are so incredibly comfortable. I wear them instead of flip flops because they allow your feet to breath, but I can also substitute them for sneakers because they offer full coverage (unless I’m going for a jog, then I need my sneakers…).

8. A gorgeous heel, preferably in black, but whatever you think you will wear will do. You can dress your jeans up, your cute summer dress, or wear them with that little black dress. But, be warned there are numerous options so know what you like: strappy, or the classic look, a thick heel, or a thin heel, a 5 inch heel, or a 2 inch heel, straps, or no straps, shiny, or not. Decision, decisions, decisions.

9. The best pair of flip flops, trust me on this one. Flip flops are for the beach, a quick drive to your friend’s house, relaxing at a sporting event. etc. Plus flip flops can be paired with your dress, a skirt, jeans, or your bikini. Make sure they are comfortable. You don’t want one of those cheap pairs you can get for five bucks pretty much anywhere. You want a pair that you actually love and will be excited to slip on your feet. My suggestion is do not go with a plastic pair, they can cause blisters, and be uncomfortable if you do too much walking. Be on the lookout, I found a great pair in a random store in Disney and another key pair at a hat store.

10. Lastly, but no least, I’m going to give you an option (or just go for both!): a necklace you can wear all the time or a scarf to accessorize. I’m not big into jewelry but I always wear a necklace and I have a select few necklaces that I wear all the time and if I can’t find a necklace to go with my outfit, I go with old faithful. Also, if you’re not into necklaces, or you want to mix it up every now and again, a nice scarf will do your outfit wonders by adding another texture, maybe that pop of color you want, or the finishing touch.
