style

i recently purchased and read Style by Lauren Conrad, and completely fell in love with it.
it's all about using basic staples to build your own wardrobe that's customized to your own personal style. in her book, she lists key basics that should exist in every wardrobe.

from now until i own every single one of those pieces, i won't purchase clothing that isn't on the following list:

LITTLE BLACK DRESS
in my search for the perfect LBD, i'll be focused on finding one that can be extremely dressed up as well as totally dressed down.

JEANS
obviously, i already own jeans. but i will buy one more great pair that i absolutely love.

COLLARED BUTTON-DOWN
my goal is to find a great, tailored, white one.

SKIRT
one that can be dressed up or down and is neutral enough to go with tons of different colors and shoe styles.

BOOTS
i'm listing these because it's part of the list, however i just bought a FANTASTIC pair for my birthday, so i can cross these off the list. i'll post a picture later.

WHITE AND BLACK TOPS

i'll be looking for one of each.

BLACK HEELS
hopefully i can find a comfy pair!

BLAZER
i do own one blazer already, but it's bold and doesn't go with a lot. i'm dying to get a plain black boyfriend blazer that has sleeves rolled up between the elbow and wrist. i believe Lauren Conrad designed one for Kohl's, so i'll definitely be looking into that.

COAT
i won't purchase another one until next fall/winter (so yes, i'll buy other stuff before this list is totally finished) but when i do, i'll be looking for either a solid peacoat or a faux leather bomber jacket.
