ten essentials


garance recently posted about her top 10 wardrobe essentials and it's been a truly inspiring read including following up through the comments. as i'm working on editing my closet, i'm thinking about my own top 10 staple pieces i should collect the most perfect "me" version of and use forever.

i am drawn to architectural and interesting cuts, pieces with edge, dark and ethnic touches. however, it has to be comfortable. i love sustainable and luxurious fabrics (the softer the better) and layers. ok, here goes:

1.black dress that i can wear a million ways
2.black leather jacket
3.white and gray tshirts
4.black tailored pants
5. black jeans (more destroyed and worn the better)
6.perfectly tailored blazer
7.sweaters for layering
8.sequins
9.black skirt
10.leggings, leather is nice


i'm adding my top 10 accessories as well
1.scarves
2.short nails with neutral color (i'm in love with chanel particuliere right now)
3.statement jewelry
4.glasses
5. simple big black bag
6. coconut skin lotion
7. pretty underwears
8. drama filled heels
9. comfortable flats i put on after the drama
10. killer black boots

that was fun! now i want to go shopping...
