Looking for an all new wardrobe? START WITH THE BASICS! All you need to start your brand new wardrobe is a couple fashion pieces, equipt to be the foundation of every outfit. Basics are timeless pieces that will never go out of style. They are also the building blocks of every well put together outfit and can be paired with almost everything else in your closet. These pieces are what you should spend the most money on. I justify the investment with the amount of variety and durability they each give me.

There are two key aspects to knowing what to start out with.

Neutrals. I’m talking blacks, whites, greys, khakis and all their variations.
Tailored or well fitted. Meaning... flattering, things that are made to hit you at the right places, are tailored to be fitted where your body naturally curves and lays to enhance your shape.

So where do you start? Use this checklist as a guide for a strong wardrobe foundation.

Black Leggings-

Yoga pants aren't just for working out anymore. Invest in a good pair of thick black leggings and in return you'll get pants that will go with everything. I suggest spending a little extra on leggings because they will last longer and look nicer. Simple long black leggings can be tucked into tall or short booties and paired with a loose top. Plus maybe they'll be your inspiration to get out and excersise. I know buying new workout gear is all I need to get inspired.
