If you have been following my blog and/or Instagram posts for a while, you know very well that I love a good, simple staple. I think that it is super important to have some solid staples in your wardrobe, and it is important that they are neutral and unassuming so that other pieces can build off of them. With the transition from Spring to Summer, I have been thinking about the items in my closet that I consider to be staples regardless of the season. Today, I'll list them out for you so that you can build up your own personal stash of staple pieces!
A Pleated Midi Skirt
Whether you decide to go simple or throw in a print, I love the way that a pleated skirt adds a classy, chic element to your average sweater or tank top. I absolutely ADORE this gold one that I got from H&M, but I also have other pleated midi skirts in varying colors and prints for maximum variety.
White Pants
Personally, I've never subscribed to the notion that you can't wear white pants after Labor Day. I love the way that white pants look with a nice black or navy blue top because they brighten up any outfit and give off a sweet, girly vibe.
A Denim Jacket
It may be considered a little bit "basic", but you really can't argue with the fact that a good denim jacket goes with literally anything. I pack mine on every trip that I go on because it's a perfect medium-weight layer that you don't have to plan an entire outfit around!
A Pair of Crisp, White Sneakers
Whether you are going for a low-key, everyday look or you want to add a tomboy touch to a sweet, girly sundress, white sneakers are an absolute must have. I have multiple pairs to fit my mood, and I find myself reaching for them all the time!
A (Chic) Little Black Dress
Last but (certainly) not least, every twenty-something must have at least one little black dress in her repertoire. I have a couple go-to LBDs, and I specifically love finding ones that can easily transition from work, to happy hour, to a night out! The one pictured above is a vintage Loft dress that got from my mom, and it checks all of those boxes for me. I couldn't love it more!
