 Following on from my previous post on

 I couldnt leave you just at the edge but thought it will be great to lead you on to some few essential basic pieces to begin that rebuild or upgrade with.

Wardrobe basics are  pieces that you can make entire outfits around, they are pieces you can style radomly without thinking twice and still look great, these are pieces when teamed up well can quickly switch from a work outfit to a play outfit. Whether you have a solid built wardrobe or you are just rebuilding your wardrobe certain pieces are just a must have. I am usually dressed around these pieces literally, maybe i should stop being too basic but they are also the most comfortable. A closet is not complete without basics.

A noteable fact is that basic wardrobe pieces may differ from one individual to the other due to differences in personal styles so the list i have compelled is my personal style obviously, so this may not be for everyone .

So for you who is just rebuilding your wardrobe these are the  most pieces i personally recommend on step 4 of

 If they are not already on the step 4 list then they should be on step 5. So lets get started.

1.CLASSIC WHITE SHIRT

White classic shirts are so versatile,they can be dressed up or down.The ideal classic shirt is a loose-fit that flatters your figure but not bulging on the buttons.Team it up with smart pants / flattering jeans and a pair of heels, bammm!!! you are good to go.

2. A BLAZER

I have been a blazer girl for as far as i can remember, though i have a friend who would wear blazers for 365 days non-stop, girl bye! cant handle it she is too much or maybe she just understands better that a blazer is a true workhorse in anywardrobe. Its a great outerwear when its not quite cold, teams up well with jeans. Great worn with  dresses in day time and on evening cocktail dresses too, and can be thrown over for work. A blazer will just see you through every season.

3. FLATTERING DENIM JEAN

Again fitting is the most important factor.Find you a perfect comfortable  flattering skinny jean or straight jeans, and you are sorted for years to come in the denim jean department, If you are planning to shop for one then go for a dark wash or better still black, trust me, it will work for a wide range of scenarios, work included.

4. WHITE TEE-SHIRT

A closet is incomplete without a white tshirt. Whether you style that perfect t-shirt  with jeans, fancy skirt or shirt dress. A perfect white T is just a piece you will want to invest in over and over again!

5. A PAIR OF HEELS

A confidence boosting pair of heels is a closet must-have. Own a pair that you can always rely on that can easily go on anything, a black or nude in colour is a good bet. This is a saviour to all work / evening outfits and other important events in between, whether it just stays under your desk in the office, or is thrown off immediately after church service.

6. COMFORTABLE ANKLE BOOTS

Whether they have heels or are flat, leather or suede, ankle boots are classy and look as good with jeans, maxi dress, short skirts, mid skirts, you name it. Instead of wearing an ordinary flat shoe try replacing it with an ankle boot and just see how your look will transform to an effortless stylish look.

7. BLACK HAND BAG

A good quality handbag is like a cherry on top of a stunning outfit. It doesnt necessarily have to be a designer bag. Invest in a good black hand bag (leather one is more ideal) and all your outfits are sorted on arm accesory.

8. SNEAKERS

My ten(10) basic essential list could not be complete without a pair of some sneakers, whether its the timeless canvas, womens sneakers are just a must have. They can be worn all year round, and boy talk about comfortability and variety.

9. A LITTLE BLACK DRESSDRESS

You guessed right! A little black dress is a wardrobe ruler. A little black dress will save you through tough times. Accessorizing and styling it is the best part as you can do so much with it, yet it still remains gorgeous even on its own.

10. BLACK TROUSERSTROUSERS

This is an all week wardrobe staple. It will get you through work, talking of work, for those not yet working, you will still need one incase that interview call hits you. Not only work but a great black trousers will get you through all formal events like a boss! So instead of the usual skirts / dress try replacing that with a great pair of black trousers and see how you will own that look!

The number of reads on my last blog post were more than expected so as a way of saying thank you i will add a bonus wardrobe essential. Lol

11. SUNGLASSES

Sometimes you just need to hide behind a good pair of sunglasses. Sunglasses are a must-have in everyones wardrobe (man/woman). Not only do they protect your eyes from harmful rays but  they are a staple wardrobe accessory that add a stunning touch to any outfit.
