I just purged a ton of clothes. I made so much room, but I am trying so hard to not refill it with things I'll never wear. But I have a clothes obsession. I buy wayyy to much.
So I devised a plan, and made a list of 10 wardrobe essentials. My list ranges from casual to dressy, and will help me through every season. And it will hopefully get me through the days where "I can't find anything to wear" while I stare at a pile of clothes.
To make my list, I considered what I wear for work, school, and when I'm out with friends. I kept in mind the constantly changing Chicago weather too, so that I have all bases covered.
My first five essentials are...
1 nice jeans and shorts
2 blazer
3 t shirts
4 dresses/skirts
5 heels/flats
I wear shorts and jeans out and to school on a regular basis, and I love that they can be dressed up or down. I love blazers because they can be worn with almost any type of bottoms, and can also be casual or dressy. I also have so many t shirts to wear under hoodies, my work polo, and to bed. I even saved some old shirts from 2005! But I only wear those to bed and to work out in, haha don't worry.
I only own a few skirts and dresses, but with family parties, holidays, and events, I like to have some in fun patterns and muted ones, so I can dress for any occasion and season. Along with dresses comes heels and pretty flats. I still have to get comfortable wearing heels with jeans, but I always wear them during holidays with dresses. I am only 5'3, so I love putting on a great pair that makes me so much taller. Plus they do wonders for my backside and legs. Thank God.
What would your top wardrobe essentials be? I'd love to hear!
Thanks for reading!
