The Basics.. Part one

I am sure this topic has been beaten to death by all the fashion blogs and magazines so one more blow from me will not do any damage :).

The following are the basics that I think every gal should have in her wardrobe. These basics are the ones that make any outfit look put together so invest the time/ money to get them right.

Ubiquitous Denim
There should be at least 5 or 6 different pieces of denim in every wardrobe. I wouldn't be stranded on an island without at least one denim piece in my possession. My favorite denim picks are

1. Regular Denim Jeans
I own 3 - light wash, medium wash and dark wash. If you are planning to have more than one go for a different style for each (straight, relaxed, boot cut, skinny etc)
2. Denim Jacket
This is another absolute must for toning down very bright prints or being able to carry those in-trend pieces.

3. Denim skirt
Short and long length if you can afford 2. Short length if you can afford only one.
4. Boyfriend jeans

5. Denim Trouser

I wouldn't call this an absolute must but if you can, why not? :)

6. Skinny jeans
Go for cropped length like the Denim Minnie from J.Crew
