5 Essential Pieces That Will Add Value To Your Wardrobe

The Indigo Mid-Rise Cropped Jean

Why it’s perfect?

This jean goes from day to night, can be worn casually with sneakers and then work with heel for dinner and party times. The dark hue is the perfect cheat, cos these babies set you back less than 70 bucks, but look like they cost more. The style is totally on trend - but versatile with a variety of shirt lengths. I like this with a preppy, boxy shirt and a sweet loafer… then later with a cute heel and sassy top.

The Little Black Dress

Why it’s perfect?

This dress isn’t only perfect because its from And Other Stories #myfavestore - it’s a got a sweetheart neckline which works with or sans boobies. You can also still look sexy/cute and wear a bra with dress and granny knickers cos it’s got an a-line skirt. Much of a win! …Unless you’re located somewhere where you can’t purchase from AOS, in which case THIS and THIS have similarly positive attributes. I like an LBD that you can also wear with a good white sneaker and sassed up with a vibrant heel. Can work with trench or denim jacket.

The Utility Jacket

Why it’s perfect?

Lately I’ve wanted everything in my wardrobe to be this particular colour of military khaki/green - somehow it’s useful as a kind of neutral tone, in the same way as maybe denim or camel. A utility jacket is a wardrobe staple because not only can you pair it with your staples like white t-shirts and denim - but you can also rock it with delicate florals and even sequins! It just works! I also love the fabric these jackets tend to be made of, a kind of soft drill. They are easy to bring along on a warm day and throw on when the weather gets cooler. Can be styled with both pretty dresses or something a little more androgynous. So versatile!

The White Sneaker

Why it’s perfect?

If someone told me I was obsessed with white sneakers, I wouldn’t really have a defence. I don’t think I’ve even worn them much in my outfit posts - but I absolutely love to style them in my editorials (I’ve got a bunch coming out soon that feature white sneaks!) and believe they are the most versatile shoe you can have in your wardrobe. I’d even pair them with maxi dresses and feminine long skirts… hell, even Nicole (aka Gary Pepper Girl) is a convert to the White Sneak Squad. You need a pair of white sneakers in your life! I just wish they didn’t get dirty so easily…

The Neutral Handbag

I never really understood the merits of the neutral handbag until I bought myself a Chloe Drew in this light tan/khaki/latte tone. It seems to go with almost everything in my wardrobe! ESPECIALLY if I pair it back with gold accessories. Great news about this Marc by Marc Jacobs bag - It’s 60% off! The Net-a-porter sale is off the chain! Anyway - I neutral coloured handbag will take you a long way, especially if you’re like me and don’t really wear alot of black… I find black handbags only work if you’re wearing black somewhere else on your outfit… The neutral looks great with all colours! Party!
