Back to the Basics

I created a list that can help you build your basics in your closet so you can create a capsule wardrobe! You don’t have to get everything right away, and you can pick what fits your lifestyle best. I also like to get basics little by little to see what I really need and don’t need. It’s also important to do a closet clean out so you can really optimize space. Especially if you are wanting a fresh start, decluttering is a great way to start <3

Tops:

I typically like to have a variety of styles so I can create multiple outfits with a few different pieces. I find that neutral colors for layering pieces work the best!

• Denim jacket of choice

Skirts:
