5 Things in my Closet that I NEED

You know what I love? I mean really, REALLY love?! Being a girl. I love hair and makeup and clothes and ahhh just everything like that! But you know what? It’s HARD being a girl sometimes! Have you ever stared at your closet super frustrated because you feel like you have nothing to wear, yet you have an entire closet full of clothes?! I know I have. 

Although I can’t promise you will be completely frustration free, (because I mean let’s be honest, who is??) I CAN promise to let you in on a few secrets that I’ve come up with to help you get the most out of your closet!!! Just know, this is what works for ME.

Closet Must-Haves

1. A GOOD pair of denim skinnies!!!

I probably wear skinnies 5 out of 7 days a week. I love them. THey are comfortable, yet you can dress them up or down depending on where you’re going. Pair them with boots, heels, flats, basically anything! They are so versatile! Wanna know another secret?? My favorite pair of skinnies cost me $10.80 at Forever 21...very budget friendly!

2. A fun cardigan!

I can’t even begin to count how many times I have been rushed for time with nothing to wear. I throw on a fun cardigan over a tank and voila! My outfit is instantly cute and a lot more fun than just throwing on a screen tee and calling it a day! To dress up your outfit even more, add a different colored belt!

3. Animal print skirt!

The great thing about animal print is that it can totally be used as a neutral in your outfit! I think a lot of people are scared to wear animal print because it can be a bold move, but honestly, think of it as the neutral part of your outfit instead of the flashy accessory! For instance, a leopard print skirt can be paired with pretty much any color! Some of my favorite colors to pair it with are teal, red, and light pink. Of course, black is always great too! DO be careful with zebra print because it can look tacky if used too much. I definitely prefer leopard/cheetah! 

4. FITTED blazer!

I can’t stress this enough- make sure your blazer fits properly! Too big or too small, and you look like you pillaged through your long lost cousins closet! Blazers are great because they can be worn during the day, or at night for a date. During the day, throw it over a graphic tee for a fun, casual look. At night, throw it over a neutral tank and add some pizzazz by wearing a thin belt or long necklace. A word of advice, however, DON’T button up your blazer unless you’re going to work. It can look so stuffy!

5. LEGGINGS, LEGGINGS, LEGGINGS!

Seriously how great are leggings?! Although basic black leggings are fantastic and should be a staple in every girl’s closet, try experimenting with other types of leggings! My newest obsession- “leather” leggings! They look super cute paired with a LOOSE shirt! Another great type of legging is the “tuxedo” legging! Check em out! Leggings are my “go to” outfit when I need to be able to move like when I’m running errands! Jeans can be so restricting!!!!

These are just 5 of my closet “staples.” Basically, these are just 5 pieces I have been completely obsessed with as of late! Don’t forget that belts and scarves should also be “regulars” in your closet!
