My wardrobe is becoming more refined as I mature. There has been a significant shift in my style from my early 20s to my late 20s. I’m more interested in top quality pieces that will last; disregarding cheap clothing that has a life span of a year. I have inherited clothing from my grandmother that are made of quality materials. These pieces are from the 80s and 90s, but are still relevant and trending today! This has inspired me to share 5 “baddie basics” that every millennial woman needs in her fashion arsenal. These 5 pieces work together; creating a classically refined look that is fresh, sleek, and cool.

BLAZERS
Blazers add instant appeal to any outfit! They give off the illusion of professionalism; causing the wearer to be taken seriously wherever they go.
You can be laidback matching the staple with a pair of jeans and basic tee or tank. If the occasion is more refined you can pair this piece with a blouse and dress pants or a fitted dress (preferably #bodycon that will match with the design of the blazer).
T-SHIRTS/TANKS
Cotton white tees or black tank tops; these basics come in handy when you want to keep your look clean and classic.
You can mix it up by purchasing shirts and tanks in a variety of colors to pair under a blazer or wear alone with jeans; adding heels for a night out or sneakers to keep it down-to-earth.
JEANS
The right pair of jeans goes a long way! When you find a brand that fits your body perfectly; it’s necessary that you stick with it. It can be difficult to go from brand to brand and realize that your this size over here or a larger size somewhere else. It can really mess with your self-esteem. I recommend investing in a quality pair of jeans that are a comfortable fit. Jeans literally go with just about anything and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. I like to purchase my jeans from Forever 21 because their jeans fit my frame spot on. I’m never disappointed when I buy a new pair from the retailer (they also last with quality care)!
LBD
Every woman must have a “little black dress” in her closet! This basic staple is versatile; working for just about any event. It can be worn for a funeral or to a business meeting. You can also wear it on a formal date or a job interview. Your choice of accessories will give the basic dress new life; making it feel like a new outfit over and over again.
suit PANTS/dress PANTS
My favorite aspect of a suit is that you can wear it as one piece or you can wear the pieces separately; making for two dynamic outfits! You can pair your suit pants with a matching blouse or a blouse of a different print; creating an eclectic ensemble (the same goes for dress pants). Suit pants/dress pants can be worn casually as well by wearing them with the right top and shoes; making for a high-fashion street-style look. I recommend wearing your pants with flat mules and a cropped top or tank with denim jacket.
PLACES TO SHOP:
These are a few recommendations of places that provide quality pieces. Your wardrobe is worth the investment; yet all of these retailers provide great sales on their merchandise making it #worthit!
