10 Wardrope Basics – When Should You Splurge And When Can You Save

I believe there are 10 essential wardrobe basics. We all have different budgets and different ways we spend money so I am linking different price points so you can still get the look and stay in your budget.

Wardrope Basics

Crisp White Shirt – I love a crisp white shirt.  You can dress it up or dress it down.  I have several in my closet, probably too many if I tell the truth. You can get away with spending a little less on this item, however, it will probably just have to be replaced more often.

Dark Blue Jeans – I am always in search of a great pair of blue jeans.  My favorite denim is Mother by far on fit and comfort.  Gus Mayer has a great selection.  Jeans can come in a variety of different price ranges.  I have linked some of my favorites here.

Black Belt – I think a belt ties it all together and if you can only have one color I would go with black.  Check out this post. However, it would be good to have a brown one as well.  You don’t have to spend a fortune here to get the look.

Trench Coat – I love a great trench coat and this year I did invest in a special one.  Sometimes I believe there are times to invest in quality pieces.  You can read my post here.

Little Black Dress – If you are only going to pick one little black dress stick with a basic one so you can change it up with accessories.

Classic Handbag – If you can, splurge here but make sure it is a classic one.

Black Pants – Honestly, I have more than one black pant.  If you are going to have only one, I would buy a slimmer cut.

Comfortable Flat – I will only buy comfortable shoes.  At age 53, I have no reason to spend my time in uncomfortable shoes, I did that in my 20’s.  A flat is a must-have.

Comfortable Pump – A good basic pump can be worn with everything from a dress to jeans.

Cardigan and/or a Blazer– A cardigan and blazer are like a belt to me, it pulls it all together and finishes your outfit off.  Check out this post.
