It's time to continue on with our A to Z's of fashion. Basically, B is for... Basics!
What do you mean by "Basics?"
Good question!
Basics are your wardrobe base-line, the bottom layer that you can then build on.
From inner-wear to outer-wear, basics are the pieces that you Just Gotta Have!
Stock up on these items, and we feel pretty certain you won't get stuck in a "Gee, this outfit would be great, if only it had a ( insert basic here ) ..." moment!
Some Basics Brainstorming...
The "Poet" Tee
So named because if you add a black beret, a cup of joe, a journal, and a pensive gaze... Totally aspiring-poet material, right?
What ISN'T this tee great with? Basic black, seamless, comfy, and made from bamboo (a naturally breathable and eco-friendly material), this scoop-neck tee looks & feels great either on its own or under a high-waisted bottom.
Dark Denim
What could be more versatile than a pair of dark blue jeans? These ones come in both dark blue and black, which are two wonderfully easy-to-wear colours!
Not to mention, they pair just perfectly with a ...
Plain White Tee
That's right, we're channelling James Dean now (all that's missing is the leather motorcycle jacket..)! What could be more basic than a pair of dark denim jeans and a white tee shirt? This is one super-staple item that will serve you well (even if you're not James Dean's long lost twin).
Leggings
We're all going loco for leggings this fall! They are a fantastically versatile item for your fashion drawers; throw them on under a belted tunic top or an oversized sweater! You'll be glad for these cozy bamboo tights when the autumn chill arrives, that's for sure.
Nude Camisole or Slip
This little life-saver will help pull together your outfit when you're sporting a sheer or lighter-coloured dress or blouse. That's right, wipe your wardrobe-malfunction worries away! This stretchy slip is also bamboo, so it moves and breathes like a dream! It's the under-wear that you gotta-wear.

and, last but certainly not least...
Cardigans
Ahhh, the cardigan: our favourite layering item for fall. It's perfect to throw over a dress or sleeveless blouse; just like that, your favourite wardrobe pieces transition with the weather! We love this cardigan and use it all the time. Plus, check out the autumnally awesome colours: Navy, olive, mustard, wine-red, grey, and black.
[Footnote: For footwear basics, we love feminine flats, tall riding boots, and class black pumps!]
So, there you have it: our Can't-Go-Wrong Basics that will come through for you every time.
