Good Afternoon Pupils... Class is in session, phones on silent, notebooks out, pencils up.... It's a style post!
While doing some light shopping for the upcoming photo shoot today, I thought about how I would have to say my one favorite thing about fashion, is the versatility and how you make anything your own style. But things that come second nature to me, I realize aren’t always the case for other people, and WALA! A blog post! So let’s start with a list of 10 items every woman should have in her closet, you maybe surprised:
1. The quintessential LBD, that’s Little Black Dress for you newbies- A LBD is a go-to item, perfect for parties, nightlife, coffee with the girls and yes, funerals… as long as the “little” doesn’t equal “slutty”, there is a difference, we will discuss later
2. A blazer- Any color will do, but this jacket can be dressed down, dressed up, dressed sideways, any outfit, any occasion, a blazer is appropriate and sophisticated, go for fitted non-suit blazers and made this decade preferably (no your moms shoulder pads are NOT hot) If you want shoulder pads, GUESS what! There are ones with shoulder pads
3. Red pumps- peep toe, round toe, pointy toe, pick any one, but you better have a red pump! Red pumps not only go with EVERYTHING but any man will tell you they are one of THE sexiest shoes of all time, something about that pop of color at the end of a long heeled leg makes their skin tingle... among other things
4. A waist belt- Your first one better be black! Then brown! A waist belt is now essential because it’s so GOOD at its job, what’s it’s job? To make your waist look as tiny as possible, in even the biggest of t-shirts/dresses, you can go from potato sack to hourglass, I PROMISE no matter what size you are, you will say “Va Voom” when you look in the mirror!
5. T-shirt Bra- Do I really need to explain why you shouldn’t wear your lace/ bows/ rhinestone bras underneath anything that is unlined or thin? Pick a skin tone color to avoid showing through, keep in mind you may not be able to see it, but a camera might pick up on the red and white stripes
6. Jeans- Whatever your favorite style is, may or may not be the most flattering, it’s always safe to stick with dark washes, avoid over the top embellishments for your staples you don’t want to be in a business casual meeting and look like a disco ball thanks to the projector! Boot-cut works for everyone, if you think you have wide hips go for wide leg, GASP WHAAA? Wide hips? Wide legs? Yes, because the straight line coming off your hips balances out the “wideness” makes you look longer and longer equals thinner! No hips? Try Flares, the extra curving tricks the eye into giving you an hourglass shape
7. Tennis shoes- because there will come a day when you can’t wear 5 inch heels and you will want a cute pair, if you only get one, go with classic white, I like more feminine styles like Keds or Converse because they don’t make your feet look HUGE, the canvas material comes in numerous designs and once they get dirty, I like to draw or dye them!
8. Umbrella- You may not count this as part of your wardrobe… but I certainly DO! One, it’s obvious why you need one, but two, why not put your signature on it? Umbrellas come in some many adorable patterns, stand out from the crowd! You go through all the trouble of perfect make-up, hair, and clothes and step outside with a blah umbrella, where’s your umph? Where’s your swag? Certainly NOT in that black umbrella
9. Jacket/Coat- Again, should be oblivious why you need it, but do you really know what it should look like? Short jackets equal short torso, long jackets/coats equal long torso, Everyone looks good in a thin lined, yet warm thigh/hip length coat, whether it’s a trench or pea coat and with a belt, you want to avoid looking puffy AT ALL COSTS, knee length and below can shorten a girl, and the belt again emphasizes your waist so that even in winter, you’re looking hot!
10. DRUMROLL PLEASE! My last staple item is…… A big ol’ bag!- whether its an impromptu trip to the beach or an overnight stay at a friend’s ;) a big bag is calling your name, and I'm sure you’d rather have it when you need than not have it at all. Pick a neutral color if your worried about getting use or be like me! And pick something BOLD! Either way, it should have a large middle pocket, a zipper pocket and a top closure at least, the last thing you want is your most personal belongings spilling out in a flood because your bag doesn’t close
AND there you have it! Adora’s essential wardrobe list… for now. Keep in mind, these are the basics, everything else is extra and up to you!!! Sound off in the comments how you love your staples or if you think there should be more!
