B is for Basics!

Hello, fellow fashion lovers!

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.
