If you know me at all you know I love fashion. I am a total nerd/prep (it's a very fine line and it's my style so I can walk the line if I want!) I love fashion blogs and wish I had the talent or time or skill or knowledge to start one. One post I love reading is a fashions blogger must haves or most worn items. Fashion Staples. I have put some thought (some= a lot) into what I wear most often. Those who see me regularly may argue about some of the items I will list but hey, this is my blog this is what I think okay? Well here they are: my top 10 most worn items!
1. Brown Boat Shoes (Sperry Top Sider)
(look at the shoes, not the people...)
I got these lovelies I think around 8th or 9th grade. I didn't wear them much at first, mostly because I thought they looked manly. I guess I can still see why I thought that, but as my style has evolved I have found I do love manly touches in my fashion. But these sperry's get a lot of wear. They are broken in so well and I just always feel comfortable wearing them. When I want comfort but to feel styled, they are most go to. Some people go to black converse (which was once me) others go to flip flops (doesn't everyone though) but I go to these wondrous shoes. They have withheld a great deal of wear and I am grateful for them. I hope to keep them for many more years!!
2. Men's White Oxford (Ralph Lauren)
When you find something that works, get two. Such a classic piece, seems simple enough that it'd make it into my most worn items. But I can guarantee that I wear my oxfords more than the average joe, bob, alex, and mike ALL put together. Whenever I am feeling less than stellar, this is my piece. It makes me look so much more put together than I am actually feeling. Notice that I wear a men's fit oxford. I feel it is not so form fitting this making it most casual. I can wear an oxford with jeans or a skirt. I can wear it to church school or just hanging out with my friends. I would say wearing an oxford to me is what wearing a Vneck is to other people. Well why white you may ask? Because white is so clean and crisp of course! White is classic and can be paired with anything! If you don't own a white oxford I highly suggest to getting one.
3. Brown Leather Belt (Abercrombie and Fitch)
(notice the belt I am wearing...)
My mom bought me this as a Christmas present one year. But it was November time and I had an outfit that would have been PERFECT if it had a brown leather belt. Luckily my mom had gotten it early and being the great mother she is she gave it to me early. I had no idea then how much wear it would get. I literally wear it almost everyday. I guess I just always feel like it completes the outfit. There isn't much to say about this piece because its so simple but it definitely gets a lot of wear.
4. Khaki Skirt (Old Navy)
I wanted a khaki skirt for almost a year before I got this one back around 9th grade. I just knew it was going to get a lot of wear. It's such a simple and classic piece and could be paired with almost everything in my wardrobe. I noticed this past year just how often I was wearing it and so I then put it into the back of my closet to try and keep myself from over wearing it. I think it worked but I am very much looking forward to this fall and wearing it. I've got outfits already planned with it (am I the only one who pre-plans outfits?)
5. Dark rinse Skinny's (American Eagle)
(notice the jeans I am wearing)
This is probably a most worn for about 90% of the female population. Skinny jeans are just so common. And the ones from American eagle? EVERYONE owns them. In all colors. I prefer dark rinse because it is fact that they are most flattering. I wear them with a button up or with sweaters or often with both layered together :) They work with sperrys or converse or flats or flipflops and boots! And I guess heels too, I'm just not a heel wearer myself so I don't care about that as much. But there isn't much to say about jeans, they are such an essential piece of clothing there was no one they wouldn't make this list.
6. Leopard Flats (Target)
(notice the flats I am wearing... sorry couldn't find a good picture!)
I got these flats for about 3 dollars. I just randomly saw them on sale one time and bought them on a whim. I mean wouldn't you buy a pair of flats if they were just 3 dollars? Heck any clothing or accessory under $5 is just an obvious buy. Anyways, these lovelies have gotten a LOT of wear. Much like the skirt I've been trying to not wear them as much. I don't want to ruin them because they are so cute and trendy and work with my style so well. They can be worn casually because they are flats but also can be worn more dressed up. Flats are amazing that way. Everyone should have a fun pair of flats, and for me mine are leopard print.
7. Navy and White Stripped Tee (New York and Company)
(I am aware this is a terrible picture but it shows the shirt!)
This was bought for a winter weekend I think? Or was it priest laurel? I can't remember exactly but some church event. I quite love this shirt and wear it a lot. (Okay I wear all these things a lot!) It's just so me! Navy, white, stripes, casual, comfy, can be dressed up a bit, not your average t-shirt. Perfect right? And I got it on sale for under $20 I believe. Score right?
8. Black Skinny's (Lauren Conrad for Kohls)
(hahahahahahha love the picture. but THESE black pants)
These are not jeans. These are not leggings. These are not jeggings. They are a pant. But a super comfy and stretchy and amazing pant. I love these more than any pair of jeans or leggings. They are nice as a pant because they have structure and stay up like jeans but they are stretchy and comfy like leggings. They are unfortunately not a very spring or summery piece but I can't wait to get back to wearing them for the fall and winter. Black bottoms are so timeless and essential.
9. Navy Cable knit Sweater (Old Navy)
(it's this but in navy... If I find the actual sweater I'll change the picture!)
Now this piece of clothing is OLD. Some time in middle school I got this sweater. I got a little bit luckily. It fits so comfy now. Its navy and back when I got I can guarantee it was not a favorite piece in my closet but it definitely is now. When I don't want to think about what to wear you can bet I am wearing this sweater. I wish it was an all year round piece but sadly it's greatness is saved for colder weather. But you can bet I break this sweater out as soon as possible.
10. Ultimate Short Chestnut Ugg Boots (Ugg Australia)
(except mine are a lot more beat up...)
Wow, it's weird that this is on the list. It's not one of my cutest pieces or one of my most favorite. But it gets a lot of wear. They are not the cutest boots (well what uggs are...) but these really aren't that attractive because of the rubber sole. They are great for the cold and for snow. They are so broken in that I find myself wearing them as slippers even! Ugg boots may not be a great fashionable piece but sometimes comfort really is most important. And even more, dressing for the weather is. The rubber sole makes these great for snow (unlike other ugg boots.) So while they are not the cutest boots on the earth they get a lot of wear because of their practicality. So thank you boots!
