*tv commercial prelude sounding*
Hortatory voice:
Can't seem to find ANYTHING to wear? Spending hours infront of your wardrobe perusing through your clothes for something to match the perfect occasion? "No, that's soooo yesterday", "no, this one makes me look fat", "Urgh. Did i even get this?" Sounds uncannily familiar?
Yeah, sounds exactly like me truly.
Not.
Okay, yes.
But not just me!
Almost everybody has such days. (well, the ones who bother to dress up, at least)

Everyone needs the wardrobe essentials. The bare necessities of life, of haute couture.
Basically, if you don't want to look like a major fashion faux pas, you should make a check list of
your essentials. This is a list of what I think makes the list up:

1) the cardigan
2) a denim skirt
3) an adidas jacket (casual yet not too overdressed)
4) a pair of Levi's jeans ( i'm more of a skirt person, but believe me, there are times you'll be thankful you have a pair)
5) tank tops ( to balance your cut when you wear bohemian or dressy skirts)
6) a blazer
7) shorts/ capris ( and they need not be denim)
8) the LBD ( for those of you who still haven't figured what the initials mean- its Little Black Dress)

And i haven't even started on accessories, bags and shoes yet!
Accessories:
1) Bling bling diamante earrings (glams you up in a jiffy!)
2) hoop earrings (goes well for the casual or glitzy touch)
3) a choker
4) long chained loopy necklaces
5) a watch (never underestimate this little essential)
6) bangles
7) oversized shades ( takes you anywhere, covers up dark circles...need i say more?)
8) scarf (with psychedelic prints!)
9) a hat

Bags:
1) the clutch (perfect for evening functions)
2) evening bag
3) the tote bag (spacious enough for everything from magazines to your cosmetic pouches)
4) the essential trendy bag of all time ( Gucci for me!)
5) gym bag (never hit the gym without one)

Shoes:
1) wedges (the season's must-have!)
2) kitten heels (go for 3 inch ones if you're game)
3) boots ( hot hot HOT)
4) atheletic: sneakers
5) flip-flops ( for the beach bum or out-doorsy minx)

Okay. Now to head down town for more shopping!
