a really close girlfriend made an eye opening statement; "i'm only going to purchase staple pieces for now." my mind immediately ran to my closet and started flipping through all of the clothes, dresses, tops, skirts and everything else. and i too realized that i need (not want) but NEED to purchase some staple pieces too.
staples are a necessity to any wardrobe, go to items that can easily blend with almost anything...similar to a chameleon. view them as the foundation, a wardrobe can be built on these items. i asked 3 fashionable friends what there staple pieces were and collaborated a list for all of you eclechicks to follow. throughout the week you'll see what made the list and why they will really hold your wardrobe together. enjoy!!
first up...
the basic blazer (elizabeth and james: blade runner)!! dress it up or dress it down...it can even be glunged out (glam + grunged)!! the diverseness of this piece allows you to wear it with jeans, leggings, skirts of any length, jeggings (jeans + leggings) or trousers. plus camis, blouses, tees or even a bra (wink) can be worn underneath. blazers are a quick fix to a fitted tee and skinny jeans, just add a great shoe and jewelry...voila!! black is always in, however, white, gray, cream or vibrant hues of fuschia, cobalt, turquoise and red are a sassy pick me up from the norm.
next of kin...
