My top five are:
Black trousers- Classic wardrobe staple and u never know when u need black pants.
Jeans- wear almost everday
Great jacket- love jackets
Tees, Henleys, Polos- classic tops that never go out of style
Great shoes- shoe fanatic
had to add another one great bags and jewelry.
can just list five oooops...
I picked "must haves" that I don't have yet...
1. an evening clutch
2. a brown bag that I can use when I'm wearing a suit
3. a pair of basic black heels
4. a formal wool coat
5. some brown pointy boots
Man, I need a lot of really basic stuff.... I hate being a student!
I can't possibly narrow this down to 5..but I'll try...
1. Jeans - must have at least one pair of dark wash, lighter wash, destroyed, and trouser
2. Handbags - I have an obssession
3. Converses - these are my go-to casual shoes
4. White Fruit of the Loom boy beaters - I wear them under everything
5. Hoodie/Sweater - I get cold easily so I'm always wearing or carrying a light cover-up
Ok, that's 6, woops. LOL
I certainly cannot go through a week without...
1. Blue jeans. Basic boot cut. Current favorite are my Mavi jeans.
2. Brown leather Eastlands and black leather Clarks Artisan shoes.
3. Black leather Apostrophe, borwn leather Elliot Lucca and purpley suede Coach bag.
4. Going out AE coat and sporty Columbia coat.
5. American Eagle and Hayden cotton sweaters.
dark, soft jeans -- favorites are my Seven NYD bootcuts and my Salt Works Orchards.
3/4 sleeve, light sweater(s) -- I wear these year-round (they're warm enough for the constant summer AC, and I can layer in the winter).
white button-down -- I have several versions and wear them constantly
black round-toe flats -- I have a great Nine West pair that's about to conk out from 2 years of constant wear
beaters -- I love the white Hanes ones and the colored ones from Nordstrom.
black and brown HH pumps
black and brown bag
black and brown pants
good jeans & old jeans
black & brown boots
i think if you have these things, the rest is just fun and not really a staple.
and a LV speedy 30, which i don't have. YET
