9 Items of Clothing Everyone Should Own .

Getting dressed in the morning can sometimes feel like a monumental task, especially if you don't have much time or if you really, really want to #look nice today but NOTHING looks right. There are a few items that you can have in your wardrobe which will make the stress of getting dressed a little less - there will still be mornings where you're left red-faced with the contents of your wardrobe strewn around you, but it won't be quite so often. 1. A White Shirt

One of my favourite #things to wear, ever - have a smart one for work, and then I also have a slightly over-sized one for the weekends, that I wear with blue jeans or printed trousers. 2. A Little Black Dress A Little Black Dress

I know, I know - you've heard it so many times before. But there's a reason it's a classic and that's because you can find one to suit everyone. Find the one that looks great on you and you'll have it forever. 3. A White Dress

White can be more difficult to pull off - you may need to consider spending more as it can #look cheap if it's see-through - but I actually prefer it to a LBD, especially in summer. Take it on holiday, chuck it on for evening drinks outside; you'll find yourself reaching for it all the #time when the weather gets warmer. 4. Basic T-shirts ] Not particularly fun, but functional. You can't have the fun stuff - the bright colours, the crazy prints - without some plain black, white and grey t-shirts to #pair with them. 5. A Good Winter Coat A Good Winter Coat Choosing a winter coat is a big deal - you'll be wearing it everyday for months, so you need to #look good and be warm. Take your #time choosing one, try and spend a bit more if you can and find one you really love. 6. A Transitional Jacket

This is the one thing I don't have and, in spring and autumn, I end up thinking 'I wish I had a trench coat or something' on an almost daily basis. You'll get so much wear out of it, especially if you live in grey, rainy England. 7. Jeans That Fit Jeans are not an easy thing to buy, but they are now as much of a wardrobe classic as a LBD. You need to find the style that suits you - bootcut, skinny, straight etc - and the brand that fits, and stick with it. 8. Shoes for All Seasons If you're anything like me, you'll want dozens of pairs of shoes, but try and at least have a pair of boots, a pair of sandals, a pair of heels, a pair of smart flats and a pair of trainers. That way, you'll always have something to go with #everything. 9. A Clutch Bag You don't need loads of clutch bags, you don't even use them that often. Invest in a lovely one in a neutral colour that will go with #everything. If you need an unusual colour to go with a specific outfit, just buy a cheap one.
