Creating YOUR perfect wardrobe

I have done a closet basics post, which i hope you found helpful, but those are just basics, theres wayyy more to fashion than just the basics, creating the perfect wardrobe is not about just amazing designer pieces, but collecting pieces that you find all over the place, from thrift stores, to the department stores. the basics are great for the foundation of a closet, but personalizing it so YOU get the maximum satisfaction out of YOUR wardrobe is important too.
 
I find that i'm never satisfied. maybe that's the fashionista in me, but i've had to learn to find pieces that really call out to me and that i know im going to get a lot of wear out of, if it means spending a little more than i will, because i know in the long run it means i'll get a lot of wear out of it.


so with that being said, here are a few non-basic basics that my wardrobe has accumulated that i absolutely love!



1. quirky prints





a basic silhouette with a quirky print can still go far in your closet, im not afraid to mix prints so because this silhouette is pretty simple i can pair it with alot in my closet.


2. Bold Pants






a pair of colored skinnies is always good, i get so bored of plain denim, so a pretty color helps mix it up. the trick is to find a color that you know will complement the majority of your wardrobe so it's easily paired with alot more.



3. Comfortable Maxi Dress





find that perfect maxi dress for days when you want an easy but chic look. a stylish color such as this citrus color will keep you looking ahead of the fashion crowd all while being comfy.



4. Studded Collar



its a great "layering" piece, when wearing a sweater, or adding a little bit more to an already collared shirt. its fun and quirky, and great piece to spice up the basics.

5. Printed Sweater




the tribal printed oversized sweater is trendy, but in a neutral color its a fun basic. you can pair it with a chambray shirt, or a simple tank. its a great layering piece with so many options.


6. Lace Skirt




a lace skirt is a feminine, girly piece that go in any kind of wardrobe, and can be worn with any kind of style. you can dress it down with a button down shirt for day, or with a dressier top for night.


7. Fun T-shirt

Clothing - Wisdom by Winston Tee


this cute pug t-shirt would look great layered with almost everything else i have posted. its a basic silhouette, but the cute graphic is a touch of humor and will bring out your fun side.


8. Graphic Sweaters

Clothing - How About that View? Cardigan


a graphic sweater is kind of like your graphic t-shirt. it brings out your fun side, but its great when pairing with a simple tank or a button down. its not something you can get away with for every outfit, but its fun and quirky.


9. Vintage Inspired Necklace

Necklaces - Sweet as Cotton Candy Necklace

a vintage inspired necklace is great because you can take it from day to night, pair it with your work attire for day, and with a cute flirty dress for night.


10. Adorable Crossbody
Handbags - Vestige of the Pastel Bag


a small crossbody in a fun color brings out your personality, and makes it super fun to go out. an art deco color is fun and the pale shade will go with alot more than you might think.





so there are the fun pieces I added to my basic wardrobe to add interest and a little more versatility.

Much Love <3
