Five items I cannot live without:
1. Black Blazer: I actually have two black blazers, one from H&M and one from Club Monaco. The one from Club Monaco was probably the best investment I’ve ever made. I got it 70% off when they were closing their sunset store. I wear that thing ALL the damn time, over anything and everything.
2. Skinny Jeans: I discovered skinny jeans in 8th grade. A little bit before they became super trendy. At the time it was all about boot cut jeans, even flares. But I liked the way skinny jeans made my legs look. I have hips and long legs. Skinnies really lengthened them. It was funny because at the time everyone thought I was crazy for spending $100 on Lucky Jeans. Now most of my friends spend $100+ on jeans all the time. All of the jeans I own are skinny. I’ve heard mixed reviews. Some say they are going out but I love them. Always have, always will.
3. Scarves: Scarves are like my security blanket. I feel 100% more dressed up the second I put a scarf on. Scarves actually became one of my staples in high school. I went to a private catholic high school and therefore I had to wear a uniform. The only way I could express my fashion sense was through accessories. So I wore A LOT of scarves.
4. Hats: My mom taught me the wonder of hats at a very young age. If you wear a hat, you don’t have to do your hair. BOOM! love them.
5. Converse: I love chuck taylors, high tops, low tops, yes please! I have a pair in red, purple, teal, black and more. I’ve gone through so many over the years.
Mine:
1. Thin button-down shirt, a size to big. cuffed and maybe tucked in
2. Skinny jeans
3. More loose jeans, pegged always
4. Classic shoes: A blucher shoe or chukka boot
5. Hair: High and tight. And often, higher and tighter. (this counts)
I take it back… hair doesn’t count because shorts are definitely a staple.
I love your staples. My fave is pegged jeans. Fuck, I love pegged jeans!
Love your staples! I live in my chucks and pile on the scarves =)
Thanks! Yeah chucks are so easy and then scarves are almost a necessity, like your cell phone or sunglasses, needed at all times!
