“I have nothing to wear!”
We have all said those words at one time or another and some of us have said them a lot more than others.
How do we avoid uttering these words of desperation? The solution is actually quite simple, you need to invest in some wardrobe staples. These are the items that will take you anywhere and they are the items that you can and will always rely on.
So what are they?
LBD: Designer Karl Lagerfeld famously said “One is never over or under dressed with a Little Black Dress”.
The term LBD is credited to Coco Chanel who intended the LBD to be long-lasting, versatile and affordable. The LBD is considered essential as it can be worn day or night and have many different looks including with a blazer and flats for daytime and teamed with killer heels and a little bling for night time wear.
White Shirt: A crisp white shirt preferably in a luxury fabric such as silk is a sure way for the easy transition from day to night to take place.
Worn with a simple jumper or cardigan by day it will allow you the confidence required for those busy days and for night a few open buttons teamed with a nice camisole gives you that instant sexy look.
Blazer: Ok so you don’t have to break the bank as there are many high street options but a good cut is imperative. A well cut blazer has the power to slim your body down and worn with skinny jeans and a plain white T-shirt you can literally go anywhere.
Statement Necklace: These are my downfall as I own way too many than I should ever admit to. Thankfully I do get lots of occasions to wear them. Zara has an incredible range and if I am truthful I think that I have the entire collection for this Spring/Summer.
It is no coincidence that when friends are heading to a wedding or a night out that I get a call to borrow a neckpiece.
Black Heels: There is nothing to make you feel a million dollars than a pair of killer black patent heels. The obvious choice would be a pair of Christian Louboutin Irizia Patents but if you don’t have a spare €500 hanging around your wardrobe, Sole Addiction in Tralee has lots of alternatives.
Black heels will literally take you anywhere and if you get over the possible blisters or corns, then you are sure to feel as good as you look.
So folks there you have it, the wardrobe staples that you need to ensure stress free days. All we need now is for a little sunshine and you’re good to go!
Until next time,
Stay stylish
