5 Must Have Basics (I Don't Own)

As a girl who loves fashion a lot, I'm very well aware of the so called 'must have basics'. Basic clothing pieces every girl should have in her closet. It seems that you always look fashionable with those pieces and can build your entire style around them. But like a lot of other girls, I don't own every single basic out there. And before I start to tell you what all of these basics are, why you should have them and how to style them.  I thought it would be fairer to tell you what I don't own myself.

#1: A Little Black Dress.


This appears to be a very important basic. You can dress it up or dress it down. You could wear it to work with a cute blazer and then add some high heels and a clutch to go clubbing with your friends in the evening. The possibilities are endless and that's why I'm wondering why I don't own at least one of these LBDs. It actually also makes me wonder why I don't own a lot of dresses in general. I've recently bought a blue one, but that's about it. WishListItem!

#2: Plain Black Heels.
This is quite awkward because I think every girl should own a pair of simple and plain black heels. Do I even wear heels in general? Yes I do, quite a lot actually. That's why I can't even come up with a good reason for not owning a pair of PBHs.

#3: A Neutral Blazer.
I own a red blazer, a green blazer and even a yellow blazer, but a neutral toned blazer hasn't found his way into my closet yet. I love wearing bright colours (obviously!) but I think I also need a neutral blazer because it goes with anything. Plain shirt with jeans? Neutral blazer makes it more fabulous! Cute dress? (LBD anyone?) Neutral blazer to go! Cold? Neutral blazer and you're warm and stylish!  I could go on like this forever...

#4: A Plain White T.
I'm a little ashamed to tell you that I own plain shirts in every colour except white. If I needed one I'd just snatch one from my mothers closet. I think I need one myself, because you can do so much with it. *makes entire list in head with ways to style it*  I promise I will buy a PWT and make a "ways to style it" post :)

#5: A Skirt.
There are no skirts in my closet. My mother sort of banned them when I was 9 because I never wore them. Skirts weren't practical when you wanted to play soccer, basketball or roll around in the grass, so why wear them? Skirts never made their way back into my closet, but I think I'm finally ready for them. Another reason I always skipped them in stores was me being afraid of showing my legs. I'm so done with that, I don't want to care about peoples thoughts on my legs anymore. You don't like my legs? Well that's your problem then :) Girls, don't be afraid to show your legs, even if you don't have those beautiful legs you see on Pinterest.

Well, I hope I didn't shock you with all of these facts about my basic lacking closet :P I will make some work out of this and try to find some cute basics.

Are there any basics you don't own?
