Basic Basics

Simple basic tops and bottoms are essential to fully form a wardrobe. Here are some simple suggestions that can really bring together a wardrobe of hodge podge accessories or random clothing pieces.

Boyfriend T: Wear alone, under a jacket or with a cardigan. Tuck it into skirts and pair with necklace for a more sophisticated look.

Black/Dark blue Jean leggings: We can't get enough of these. They are comfortable and chic, what more could a girl want? Wear with boots, flats or flip flops and a flowy top.

Patterned scarf: Scarves are great and can be worn in all seasons. Put them under blazers to add contrast or just wear alone with a boyfriend T.

These are great basics! I would also suggest a nice pair of bootcut jeans, those are a great staple for any closet. Those earrings are amazing, but a bit pricey, I guess I'll just have to save up!
