hi guys welcome back to my channel I'm
so excited this is officially the first
fashion video since I gave birth I'm
really excited to start going back to
fashion content and I would love to hear
what you guys want to see from me but
today I wanted to make this first video
talking about the essentials we're going
back to basics first of all thank you
guys so much for following and watching
my videos if you are new here
welcome subscribe and press the bell
today I want to talk about basic
essentials in a wardrobe that all of us
should have I know that all of us love
the newest latest things but there is
this staple pieces that I feel like
every woman should own and have an
invest in actually most of the things
that I'm going to show you our very
budget-friendly and I'm gonna link a lot
of options and other budget-friendly
things for you in the description box I
learned about building a good staple
wardrobe when I was modeling and had 10
dollars to spend per week I really need
a kept creative and to make sure that I
have the right pieces to create as many
outlets as I can especially for a model
that every day goes to castings and
often you do see the same people let's
get to it first item that I think that
every girl should have in her closet for
a basic is a white t-shirt
I know super exciting you can't go wrong
this will take you from morning to
evening tonight for daytime you put it
with a pair of your favorite jeans a
blazer you got to go for nighttime I
love to even take pieces they're a
little more like fancy-schmancy and put
it with a white t-shirt to create that
cool balance that is not too stuffy and
not too dress that I personally love a
crewneck I feel like that's the best and
most versatile
neckline for a white t-shirt but I guess
it's a it's a personal preference you
want to make sure that you get a good
quality that you take care of them next
staple is a button-down white shirt I
have a confession to make the
is not mine this is Gary's I personally
love the look and the feel of an
oversized like men's button-down and I
find that button downs for men are
designed a little more crisp but there's
something about them you obviously don't
have to go such large size but you can
even go to any men's section and get
yourself a smaller size men's shirt this
again can be dressed up and down even
wearing this with a pair of jeans in the
evening with some pumps and you're ready
to take over the city so I truly believe
that every girl should have a
button-down in her closet and you want
something that is very clean very sleek
no like colorful buttons and nothing too
crazy just get a good breathable
button-down and make sure it's not too
tight because you know the next item
that has been a staple of mine for years
and years and years is the good old
black blazer this is actually thrifted
and to be honest with you I love finding
thrifted jackets and blazers the fit is
much better than what we find now and
this was like $20 but this has become my
personal favorite blazer in my closet so
this is just a black one it has a little
gold little nuances you want to make
sure that there's no crazy patterns
there's nothing too distracting that is
as plain canvas as possible you can put
it over a dress to make it a little more
it depends what you want to do every
body type has their own blazer kind of
fits that work for them for me I
personally love the look of an oversized
a little structure shoulder pads here
just to create a better shape and that's
it okay the next staple is something
super basic super simple and it's just a
good old turtleneck a turtleneck is such
a basic to have in your closet I
actually in the winter even put it under
a button-down it has kind of a Annie
Hall type of look to it it's really cool
I love it this is a piece that you kind
of want to invest in
I bought this kind of cashmere blend
turtleneck from Club Monaco a lot of
people buy kind of bigger oversize
and I do love those but this is
definitely a staple that I feel like
every woman should have in her closet
this will work with anything even with
the miniskirts and some boots like Oh
such a good piece the next item that I
think you guys need to have in your
closet as a little black dress now I
know you've heard it so many times I'm
sure you've seen a slip dress everywhere
in the summer people were wearing it
with t-shirts you can wear it with
sweaters on top you've seen me with slip
dresses and sweaters on top that was
like my go-to during the pregnancy I
actually went to an event a couple of
months ago and I just paired it with a
black blazer and some boots and it
looked awesome
now let's move to the pants for me I am
a sucker for trousers and like more kind
of opposite pants but if I had to be
honest with myself office events
what is office events I am a big sucker
for trousers and I have quite a bit of
them I love the look and I do recommend
for you guys to have at least one there
if it's with a neutral color like grey
or black or camel that will work with
the other colors in your closet if I had
to be honest with myself and I had a
very limited amount of budget and had to
buy staple staple it would obviously be
a pair of jeans that is flattering on my
body I personally love straight and I
like them a little cropped at the bottom
I stay away from any rips when I do buy
investment jeans and if you really want
to invest in a pair of jeans and you
want to make sure that you'll be able to
wear it from day to night I would even
go for a darker wash just because
especially in the winter times sometimes
when it's too light it's a little tricky
to pair it with other like darker colors
definitely find your fit know what is
comfortable for you find something that
makes you look good that makes your butt
look good very important for me it's
usually mom jeans with a straight leg
and a crop ankle tada and then the
second parent is a pair of slick black
jeans just because these are so
versatile
personally a big big fan of the Topshop
model Jamie I think this fit complements
most body types to be honest with you
because it's very high it sucks
everything in here and then you have the
long leg so these are always kind of a
go-to for myself especially during
winter and fall time because all the
dark colors are coming out then and then
we're gonna move to the last part of
wardrobe essentials and I am focusing on
things that is appropriate for the
season that we're in right now so the
next thing that I want to focus on is
leather jacket I spoke to you before
about an investment piece and a leather
jacket is definitely something that you
want to invest in I personally had this
jacket where it was pleather but it was
kind of plastic from H&M and I wore it
for years and I thought it looked so
cute and now I look at pictures and it
looks like I'm wearing a garbage bag
so I truly recommend you guys to try to
get the best quality that you can when
it comes to leather jackets this is
actually a leather jacket that I bought
I think seven years ago and it just gets
better with time it actually wears
really well my little tip for someone
that is on a budget if you are looking
for a leather jacket go to thrift store
secondhand stores you'll be surprised
how many amazing pieces you can find
there every time I go into a thrift
store I'll go right away to the leather
jacket section because the fashion right
now is trying to mimic the way they used
to make leather jacket and last but not
least is a coat this is something that's
definitely not a very much of a neutral
color but I actually would recommend you
guys if you're looking for a coat to
find a code that is kind of natural but
has a little pop of color just to bring
a little more interest into your outfit
I find that in the colder months we kind
of go into this dark palette and it can
get a little boring so what I like to do
is to get a really nice overcoat with a
color that will go well with all the
other colors in my closet and all my
other staples for most people I would
probably recommend too
for either camel or gray I went for pink
it's a very soft pink so I know that it
would work really well with a lot of
colors that I usually wear and present
in my closet just make sure that you
have the right fabric make sure that you
don't bind those codes that everything
sticks to it that's so annoying
and remember to get something that can
elevate your look to the next level this
isn't you guys these are my absolutely
basic wardrobe essentials that I think
every woman should have if you're
starting in investing in pieces and
building kind of your staple closet this
will be a good start for you and that's
it go get your wardrobe on thank you so
much for watching and I will see you
guys next time
