Basics

One of the perks of (finally) being employed after a summer of unemployment is being able to shop again.  I was on a spending freeze almost all summer, at least in terms of things like clothing, accessories and shoes.  It was painful.  But it made me more creative with the clothing that I did have so I suppose that was a plus.

And although I will have a bit of extra income soon, I still plan to be a bit...stingy...with my money for a little longer.  Therefore I want to focus on one group of clothing in my closet to build up during this time of stinginess.  That group is basics.  Sweaters, tees and blazers.  Simple, versatile and classic.  Pieces that I could wear every week if need be and could still mix and match without getting tired of them.  Pieces that can go from the office to the weekend seamlessly.  These are a few of my favorite basics lately.

Thoughts?  Opinions?  I would love to hear them, as usual.  Happy Tuesday!
