The essential 30!




I am currently reading "The One Hundred" by Nina Garcia. It is a book filled with the one hundred pieces she believes everyone should have and is quite inspiring. With this new found inspiration I sat pondering, wondering what my 100 would be. Does a girl really need 100 essentials? No. I don't believe so. To prove that this is not the case I even came up with my own list of the 30 things a girl should/probably does already have in their wardrobe.

1. Denim - jeans, jackets, shorts, etc.
2. A pair of classic heels
3. Oversized handbag to fit EVERYTHING
4. Neutral Singlets such as white and grey
5. Longline cardigan in a neutral hue
6. Black Alice headband
7. Pearls - a string or two, earrings, etc.
8. Bold sunglasses - think Mary-Kate Olsen
9. Aline Skirt - above the knee
10. Printed dress - floral or geometric
11. Sheer - dresses, blouses, etc.
12. Tailored shorts - whichever length you like
13. Waistcoat - think kate moss in pinstripe
14. Classic Blazer - in black or white
15. Bolero - to wear with everything
16. Man-style shirt - subtle white or joyous green
17. Ballet Flats - every girl needs black ones
18. Ankle Boots - I wear mine with jeans or dresses
19. Grey Shirt - for those days when you just don't know
20. Little Black Dress - for any occasion
21. Printed Scarf - in cotton or sheer always fabulous
22. Body hugging Jumper - get one in a small size.
23. Quilted Bag - the more luxurious style bag ever.
24. Printed Tank - Cartoons make for a laidback essential
25. Brown Belt - to wear with anything, and I mean ANYTHING
26. Red Heels - Stiletto, mary-jane, chunky heel, anything red.
27. Black Opaque Stockings - What would a girl do without them
28. Clutch Bag - for when you don't have that much to carry
29. Summer Dress - Beach, parties, cocktails, need I say more?
30. Hoop Earrings - to finish off that perfect outfit
