The Basic Items a Woman's Closet Must Have

Have you ever experienced buying the "it" garment of the season then two months later you find that piece of garment tucked on the deepest and the darkest (oohh creepy) part of your closet? And you can't wear it again because it's so outdated and unfashyon already? Oh I did. A lot of times. I remember when I bought those super colorful denim jeans last year and now I'm like, oh no no, I won't wear those pants evar! Those rainbow-colored pants used to be the in thing last year. It's everywhere! Literally. From the people walking in malls, to the artistas dancing on TV, even to the slums! I realized that it's not really wise to splurge on trendy pieces, instead, invest on QUALITY pieces that would definitely give you long mileage. These items won't make you feel guilty months after you buy it. So for those of you supercalifragistylish chicas out there who's in a mission of revamping their entire wardrobe (like me!), here are some basic pieces that we just HAVE to HAVE.

UNDERGARMENTS

1. Brassieres in beige, white, and black. Go for the tweakable bras which you could transform into strapless, razorbacks, etc. Seamless brassieres are also a must.

2. Seamless panties in beige, white, and black. We supercalifragistylish chicas, should avoid unsightly panty lines at all cost. Also invest on white cotton panties that are of good quality. No granny panties please. Granny panties are for grannies.

TOPS

1. Comfortable and nice fitting shirts in black, white, and gray.

2. Button down tops in white and black.

3. Black, white, and gray tank tops/spaghetti tops.

4. Black and white tube tops.

5. Cashmere cardigans in white, black, gray, and *enter favorite color here*.

BOTTOMS

1. A good pair of denim pants that fits you like a glove. Make sure you have one in black, white, gray, and of course the classic blue.

2. Nice fitting pencil skirt. Go for white and black.

3. White and black shorts.

4. Denim skirt. As usual go for white and black.

DRESSES

1. LBD

FOOTWEAR

1. Ballet flats. Have one in black, white, and red. Yes, red.

2. The classic black high-heel pumps.

3. Flip flops in black, white, red, and brown. It's a lazy day necessity.

BAGS

1. A classic shoulder bag. It's nice to have one in black, red, and white.

2. A medium sized bag. For your overnight trips and weekend retreats to the beach.

3. A clutch or a purse.

4. An "IT" bag. It could be an LV Speedy or the classic Chanel quilted bag.

ACCESSORIES

1. An oversize black cocktail ring.

2. A pair of pearl earrings.

3. A pair of diamond studs. If you can't afford one at the moment, Zircon is a good alternative. No one would know the diff. It's all in the way you carry it.

There you go. Basically, these items are the basics. I repeat, the basics. These items would make up the skeleton of your closet. Remember, a good wardrobe starts with a good foundation. Splurge on quality pieces not on trendy ones. Now, what would I do with my rainbow-colored pants.... Hmmm.....
