WhatIWore: Let鈥檚 say you鈥檙e given a winning lottery ticket and can construct your wardrobe from scratch. Or perhaps you鈥檙e transitioning for university to the working world and need to purchase 鈥渞eal clothes.鈥?So.. what to buy? Where to spend where to save?聽 Here are my ideas on what every woman should have love essential structure blocks in her wardrobe.

RULES:

Its best to stick to one color story or palette if you鈥檙e on a budget. A lot of women find themselves with 鈥渘othing to wear鈥?since their garment are only being worn one or two ways. When everything matches with everything you have a lot more outfit combinations. Once you feel love that set is complete (and when you鈥檙e buying classic garment that last more than a season) expand into a new palette.

I鈥檇 recommend starting out with black (although navy gray or dark brown are great structure blocks like well!) including the following items:

If you can afford to spend more do it. Especially for sturdy boots your winter coat and a day to night dress. You can get away with spending less on tights sweaters and tees.

Next start injecting some secondary colors into your wardrobe. Same rule as above - pick 4 or 5 colors at most that job with each other and seem for:

I frequently spend less on items that are multicolored of patterned. Dresses and skirts are great pieces to thrift as well! As with the essential blacks you can spend less on tights and tanks.

Accessories!! They will truly up the ante and are a good place to get a lot for your cash if you鈥檙e on a budget. Accessories are also something that don鈥檛 necessarily need to job with everything you鈥檝e got especially if they鈥檙e cheap. In fact I get a lot of compliments on things I鈥檝e bought in thrift stores and at target (even jewelry!) Consider:

Finally purchase yourself some decent underwear!! Get RID OF ANYTHING that doesn鈥檛 make you feel good about your body (and you understand what pairs I鈥檓 talking about!!!). A modern woman might discuss that slips are for grannies except they鈥檒l make your clothes flow when you鈥檙e wearing tights! Its your starting point! I recommend:
