YOUR PERSONALIZED SHOPPING LIST
Your Personalized Shopping List
Thinking through the must-haves for a great wardrobe I came up with a list of 16 items that I think will complement and enhance any closet. This list works now and will work in spring, summer and fall. There may be a few adjustments to make certain pieces work in different seasons but this list is a great one to work off of when shopping and evaluating what may be missing from your wardrobe.
Black Blazer – Go with a style that works for your lifestyle. If you dress more conservative go for a more basic blazer option and then you can still wear it with jeans. If you are less conservative maybe go for an oversized blazer or a longer silhouette and then use it in countless ways.

Winter White Jean – I have talked about this a lot lately but white is so important for all seasons even in winter. White will mix so well with all your knits and warmer hues. Get a jean that is slightly off white or like mine that have a waxy finish. Something that separates them from your summer white. And any silhouette works….crop, unfinished hem, flare, skinny.

The Perfect Dress – I am going with a classic LBD for my perfect dress but in summer I would have a different perfect dress. This does not have to be black. It is whatever YOU love! A go-to dress for whenever you need it. To me this means a dress that can give you options. There are many ways I could style the dress I am wearing and so many things I could do with it. And most importantly it needs to be a dress you feel great in when you put it on.

“Fur” Coat – This is an item that has season limits but can be worn three of the four seasons. This is another piece that would change weight and perhaps color as the seasons change. There are SO many options for this from color to print and numerous silhouette options. And then choices from real fur to faux fur to shearing….just so many fun ways to bring this look into your wardrobe. Do not fear the trend just embrace it!
SHOP HERE
Sequins – Sequins are ALWAYS necessary! Whether it is a dress, top, skirt….pick your poison! Just have at least one sequin piece on hand at all times. As I’ve shown you before sequins aren’t just for night but there are so many ways to wear them any time of day in any season.

White button-down shirt – This may seem basic but it is such a necessary classic piece. Whether wearing it for work or just throwing it on with denim shorts or a jogger for the perfect casual look it is a chameleon. This piece can truly transform and help create countless outfits.
SHOP HERE
Textured blazer – I used the word “textured” here for lack of a better one. What I mean is some type of blazer that isn’t solid. Whether it is tweed or plaid, printed, or some special fabric like satin or sequin. Try adding a really fun blazer to your closet that will bring depth and fun to your wardrobe.
SHOP HERE
Unfinished/Crop Jean – I am sure you are seeing this denim style on Instagram feeds everywhere and there is a reason. It is a great updated style in denim. As is the case with most all denim you can wear it casually or dress them up. They are the perfect new pair of jeans the next time you go shopping for denim.
SHOP HERE
Fashion Sneaker – This item is another one that you would have to be living under a rock not to notice because they too are all around us from city streets to housewives. You don’t have to break the bank by purchasing a pair of Gucci or Golden Goose because they have filtered down to all the stores we love like Target, Asos, and Zara so stock up friends!
SHOP HERE
Layering Knit – Knits are another piece I have been talking about for quite some time. They are perfect for casual to dressy but in this case, I am talking about knits as a layering piece. Just as the textured blazer I mentioned above try having fun with this as well and look for a pop of color, print or detail in some way. They polish your look in such a fun way!
SHOP HERE
Black Leather Jacket – Confession….I have about 10 black leather jackets….before you judge me, they are all different and some of them I have had for years ☺ I just can’t get enough as I wear them all the time. In the winter I wear a coat over it and wear it as a layering piece. In warmer seasons I wear it as a jacket. This is another item that comes in so many styles and silhouettes so just find what makes you happy and live in it!
SHOP HERE
Moto jacket – I am mentioning so many layering pieces because they truly can transform an outfit and be worn countless ways. When you put on a great layering piece it totally changes your look. A moto style is edgy but also has a classic vibe to it. If you already have a black leather jacket then opt for your moto in another color or fabric.
SHOP HERE
White boots – If you don’t already have a white boot in your shoe wardrobe then GO BUY ONE! They are great from fall through spring and can transform your look. Basic boots are great and a must for your closet but I’m guessing you already have some of those. So now it is the time to go bold because just adding this piece can transform your OOTD!!
SHOP HERE
Perfect Black Pant – I know, I know this sounds so lame. BUT a great black pant really is a key piece to your wardrobe. The pair I am wearing are so comfortable and flattering. I have worn them with a blazer and dressy blouse for a cocktail event but am also rock them like you see in the photo with the printed t-shirt, knit and platform sneakers. The key is to find a pair that can be worn several ways to get the most bang for your buck. They don’t have to be the classic “Theory” suiting black pant that 20 years ago women wore with a button-down blouse and some sad pump to work. Black pants today have so much potential.
