Mix-n-Match these items will make your fashion options limitless.

  1. Dress – A basic dress for attending events is a must. I absolutely adore this V Neck Smock Dress from Boohoo that is affordable and chic. You can dress it up with some accessories and heels or dress down with a pair of sunnies and sneakers.
  2. Basic Tank Top – A basic tank top or tank top dress in your wardrobe is simply smart. Smart clothing can be worn in layers or stand-alone all year around.
  1. Graphic Tee – Add a little personality to your wardrobe with an image, slogan, or designer name.
  1. Basic Blouse/Shirt – A basic blouse/shirt spells classic, classy and well put together.
  2. Denim – One of the best inventions ever! Denim is one of the most comfortable, affordable and smart item of clothing that last for years. Mix and match my favorites below to create an endless list of comfortable, affordable Spring/Summer outfits.

5 Basic Denim items to mix-and-match this Spring/Summer

  • Denim Skirt
  • Denim Shirt
  • Distress Jeans
  • White Jeans
  • Boyfriend Jeans
  1. Shorts – Bermuda shorts are the perfect combination of function and fashion. Not too short, not too long and too hot but just right to dress up or dress down. Throw on a pair of heels and you made a simple outfit look chic.
  1. Skirt – A basic midi skirt is so classy and versatile. I prefer a satin slip skirt or pleated. Switch up your shoes or accessories to go from day to night.
  2. Summer Hat/Visor – Sprint Forward! Daylight savings is a week away. To protect our eyes and skin, while looking fabulous, opt for a straw summer hat or visor to complete your look.
  1. Sunglasses – Sunnies go without saying. What is Spring or Summer without a nice pair of sunglasses? There are affordable sunglasses that will go with any item. My two favorites are a simple black pair and brown ombre:
  2. Sandals – Leather sandals are a versatile shoe you can throw on to run errands, be stylish yet sensible around the house, or a finishing piece to complete your outfit. Avoid wearing sandals that are too small. Who wants to deal with blisters? Avoid wearing sandals that are too loose. Who wants to walking around in flappy sandals or cause you to trip and fall? Whatever Sandal type you prefer, heeled, flats, sling back or open-toe, be sure those toes and heels are well groomed and moisturized. Nothing ruins a look more than scary feet.

Fun Prints and Bold color options are tempting as the season changes to Spring. To avoid over shopping or picking pieces you’ll only wear once, build your wardrobe with basic pieces that are versatile and smart. Which of these will you add as staples to your wardrobe?
