5 Must Haves

Every woman should have 5 essential items in their wardrobe. These five essential items can be interchangable from work, to an evening out on the town, to a weekend shopping trip with friends. Many of us women like to complain that we don't have anything to wear...don't act like you don't. I am guilty of this complaint but really much of what is in my closet can put together several different outfits for different events and occassions. As a college student on a tight budget, I can't just go out and have an unlimited shopping spree so I have to analyze my wardobe more closely.

An essential that everyone should have is a suit, particularly a black suit! A suit is important whether it is required for your career or not. You should always wear a suit to an interview. It doesn't matter if your applying for a restaurant position or for a high-end company. You want to look the part and that requires you to look sharp and polished. People will take you more seriously if you come to an interview in a suit rather than a t-shirt, jeans, and flip-flops. For women a suit consists of 3 items: pants, skirt, and blazer. All of these items should match as well. Same material and exact same color. You may think its black but really its navy so it's best to get a matching suit.

The next 2 essential items are a neutral cami and a colored button up blouse. A neutral cami or tank is an item that can be worn with just about everything. A colored blouse can look dressy but can also look casual. These 5 essentail items should be in every women's wardrobe and can easily be accessorized.

Work
Blazer, pants, and cami with black lace accent is a professional yet attractive outfit for an interview or a day at the office. Accessorize with a stylish briefcase but keep jewelry simplistic, it's not the weekend yet.




Evening
Same sexy cami but this time with a black pencil skirt that could also be worn as a suit with a blazer. Professional during the day and ready to go out at night.




Weekend
For a weekend out with the girls, whether it's a day at the mall or out for drinks, you can look casual yet sophisticated. Same black pants but with a red button up blouse. The small ruffles give the outfit a romanitc and flirty touch. Some animal print flats jazz it up and are comfortable for being on the go.
