Skirt & Sweater: Zara Shoes: Converse Bag: Celine

I did a big closet clean up recently and it got me thinking about the main basics I currently have and what pieces I would like to add. Often times, we get so excited about unique and statement pieces and we forget to invest in the ones that actually build up our wardrobes. For me, those are the classic items that never go out of style and are better quality so they’ll last even after wearing and washing them time after time. Every person has a slightly different idea of what basic pieces are and what works best for them, this sweater, skirt and sneakers are all items I consider basic and can endlessly be mixed and matched. Up until a couple of seasons ago I didn’t even know how great the basic classics really are. Camel, gray or cream were at the bottom of my mind and tucked deep in my closet which is such a shame because now it’s on my steady rotation of favorites.

You’ll never regret buying a classic item and the combination are endless. You’ll be surprised how many looks you can come up with after investing in even one great piece.
