Lets talk about what is a wardrobe essential. Consider the following your foundation to you future dream house. Building a wardrobe in comparison to a house may seem drastic, until you understand the correlation between dressing well and the mood booster it gives you. Put on a lab coat and instantly feel like a genius. Its a real thing and its called “enclothed cognition.” Read about here. Getting dressed in the morning doesn’t have to be a try-athon of clothes flailing-in-every-direction-Clueless scenario.

Clueless wardrobe

I’m going to let you in on the building blocks that will help expedite effortless dressing. Here are 10 wardrobe staples that will always make you look timeless, chic and most importantly save you a grip of time getting dressed in the morning.

THE WHITE TEE

You can sport this wardrobe staple anyway you want. Under a blazer or dress, or by itself with jeans. A white t-shirt is a must-have. Here are my comfy cozy favorites.

THE BLACK CAMISOLE

This little number can be worn with practically anything. Slip it under blazers, pair it alone with jeans, or wear layered over a tee. Here are my selects:

    Thank you so much for this post! It’s such a comprehensive and informative yet simple approach to building a wardrobe, esp. on a budget. I’ve seen countless capsule / clothing essentials videos and this is by far my favorite! All of your pieces make sense on the day to day and leave room for individualization. I’m already eyeing up a few pieces. It’s really given me a good template to work with as I’m trying to reorganize and build my closet. Do you think you could do an essentials for shoes? I’m such a big fan of your YouTube channel and your blog…I can’t wait to see your upcoming style videos! xoxo Pearl
