Exactly two months after I introduced the idea of '5 Pieces' here on the blog, a really elaborate list of basics remains unpublished in my drafts folder. Writing about basics has truly lost its appeal and I've been turning to Twitter for help on deliberating what counts as basic and what counts towards my five. (Shoutout to Fashion Westie for always always replying and talking sense into me). We have concluded that the Rodarte sweatshirt (no matter how much I need it) should count based on price alone. I still think about this pink Isabel Marant Etoile sweatshirt from time to time. Sigh.
So let's recap, shall we?
- My first '5 Pieces' purchase was a Mango faux leather jacket.
- My second purchase are the above Isabel Marant Poppy heels in black. I've currently got them on online laybuy.
- I went shopping for basics at Glassons, starting out with merino turtlenecks in black and gray. These are perfect for layering.
Now all I need is the perfect collarless coat.
