You know I wasn’t done after jackets and dresses, right? (Although, arguably, you could get through life with just those categories, as I often do). Today, however, I’m covering tops and bottoms, because the right assortment of these pieces guarantees a modern, versatile and stylish wardrobe, whereas missing some of these key pieces could lead to wardrobe boredom and frustration.
Especially the striped pieces. (You know I had to slip that in).
Don’t let this happen to you. Whether you opt for the exact pieces shown here, or something completely different that still somehow checks those boxes, what you want is VARIETY so that you can have VERSATILITY so that you have lots of outfit possibilities.
In today’s video, I share the tops and the bottoms that I think will become go-to’s in your wardrobe (if they are not already!).
