Let's Talk Basics: 7 Piece Fall Wardrobe Breakdown

What is a basic?

Basic does not mean boring. You should look at your basics and be able to think of a variety of ways to style the piece. A basic is something that is timeless to YOU and something you will keep in your closet forever. Something that embodies your personal style & makes you feel confident every time you put it on.
