{ Closet } Staples

Hello readers and happy Monday! I hope your Monday went well and that you enjoyed the holiday if you had the day off.

While packing for our move back in September, I realized that my closet was lacking quite a few classic pieces that I knew I needed. I've known for a little while now that I needed these items, but every time I came across a sale, I would tend to purchase clothes that were not a necessity.

I will try not to shop in the next few months, except to purchase one of these key items to make my wardrobe complete. Wish me luck!

1. Wedge Sandal: My closet is full of sandals (both flat and heeled), but not this foot-saving, versatile piece. The color would go with just about everything I have in my closet. {Buy it here, in black, similar in brown}

2. Leather Jacket: This is another item I've wanted for many years now. I have a very hard time shelling out hundreds of dollars on one item. Since this is a staple I may bite the bullet or try to find a steal on eBay. {buy it here, faux version, similar in brown}

3. Black Ankle Boots: This item can be worn with anything: skinny jeans, dresses, skirts, shorts. Now to find a similar pair on sale... {similar here, similar on sale!}

4. White Button-down Shirt: Believe it or not, I really don't have a plain white shirt. I have every variation on the plain white shirt, though. {Buy it here, similar here}

5. Trench Coat: A classic Burberry Trench is on my wishlist which I hope to get this year. It's a perfect topper to create a polished look. {buy it here, similar here on sale!}

6. Classic Shoulder Bag: With it's simple styling and timeless color, this satchel is large enough to hold the essentials, but small enough not to overpower any outfit. {buy it here}

7. Winter White Coat: Not necessarily a closet staple for some, but a brighter version for anyone sick of wearing black. {buy it here, similar here}

8. Boyfriend Jeans: I have every cut under the sun, but not this more laid-back version. I would wear them with a vintage-y rocker tee and chucks or a blouse with ankle boots or pumps. {similar here on sale!}

9. Black Skirt: I used to have a black pencil skirt but it had a fan pleat detail at the hem on the left side. I really loved that skirt, but realized it was too trendy to stand the test of time. {similar here}

10. Brown Ankle Boots: See #3. A bit more "dressed down" from the black version. {buy it here on sale!}

I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday!
