Wardrobe essentials are those pieces in your closet that are foundational for creating beautiful, interesting and modern outfits. Regardless of your personal style essence, you’ll need the essentials. Look for essentials that suit your personal style.
I’m quite over the appeal of fast fashion: buying all new outfits on a monthly basis and constantly changing the color scheme and vibe of my closet. Instead, I’ve begun the process of curating a closet that I can enjoy now and for years to come. It is a smaller collection of clothes, but they mix and match easily to create many outfits for multiple occasions. I’m more concerned about quality and desire less quantity.

The items I share here are among my personal favorites. These are garments, accessories and jewelry I own, use, wear and love…on repeat. Some have been in my closet for years, and many will serve me well for years to come.
One more note. Because of my job as a style blogger and YouTube creator, I have been gifted many beautiful garments. I’ve also accumulated some of these investment purchases because I’ve earned points as I’ve bought items to share on the blog and YT channel. So my curated closet is definitely more expensive than it would have been otherwise. But I try to be a good steward of these clothes and accessories. At this point in life I’m pleased to be able to be a little more discerning about what I have in my closet.
