The past few years I’ve noticed how fast trends and fads have gone and even come back again. Trying to keep up with what was in style in the end left me with clothes I no longer wanted or just couldn’t see myself wearing again. I wanted to build a wardrobe that could last me through the ever changing cycle of fashion. Although it’s easy to get swept up in buying cute trendy pieces, I knew I had to hone in on the BASICS. Here I’ve compiled the list of some of my basics, focusing on quality and the ability for it to be dressed up or down.
