gathering the basics

I've decided to start gathering for basic essentials because..it's essential. could be pricey but well-worth it in the long run :)
what are the basics? quick run-down. (or maybe a big list)
but everybody's basics are different to one another, well here's a peak to mine.
hopefully this will help with my packing endeavour!

basic 101; for work &play

needless to say?

everybody's LBD will be different it HAS to fit perfectly
i go for a more baby-doll figure,
or something fitting around the waistline

it isn't a 'bad act' look anymore.
the perfect leather jacket is hard to find.
hint: you would need more than one.

people may think this was just a phase,
but i have believed the parka has always been an essential
in the wardrobe!

the blazer isn't just for work anymore,
made for lunch dates and shopping days.
my essential blazer is a nude colour.

&again, not just for work.
trousers are way cool now!
i have a collection now, lurve it.

owning a few skirts! plain. the right shape. colours.
go for colours for easy matchy-matchy.

i absolutely lurrve these; navy, red, black.
they make any outfit look chic &effortless.
must gain the red &black stripes now.

two floral dresses? why?
one mini and one maxi!
both being able to be dressed for night and day time!!

who says denim is lame?
go for a darker denim for shirts and lighter for jacket,
that's just my pick anyway.

when you're lazy to dress.
throw these on and a pair of leggings.
set for a lazy day - anywhere!

a few pairs of different colours is essential.
once you got the black, grey, khaki, white,
go for electric patterns!!

the hardest item to scout!
bootcuts. skinnys. flares. boyfriends. high waist. low rise..
the list is endless. find that pair!! &don't forget one shade each!

you never know when you're about to swim?!
of course you need one of each; onesie &two-piece.

the dreaded collection.
a wedge. chloe sandals. tory burch flats.
louboutins pumps. hunter boots. lacoste sneakers.
