As I have mentioned before, I am a neutrals girl. I’m always drawn to them. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good print or pop of color, but neutrals are something that every girl needs in her closet. It’s a great foundation for any look. So this week, I’m sharing my favorite wardrobe basics.
1. : There is no brand that does the basic tee like Everlane. I am seriously obsessed with my tee and plan on buying one in every color. It is so soft and comfortable and pairs perfectly with skinny jeans, a long necklace and some nude booties.
2. The Cotton Slip: Every girl needs a cotton slip to wear under a dress that has miraculously become see-through. I don’t know how it happens, but this embarrassing situation has happened one time too many to me. A slip will ensure that no one sees those cute undies! love magic spells
3. The Fitted Tank: Whether you use it for layering or on its own, a fitted tank is a must. I love this one from Androbel because it is soft, affordable and versatile! The perfect combination, if you ask me. P.S. Use code “LUSHTOBLUSH” for 20% off storewide until February 22!
4. r: Since it is winter, I have to mention the cable knit sweater. This cozy clothing item is worn so thin by the end of the season for me. I throw mine on top of whatever I happen to be wearing, and instantly look polished. LOVE!
5: Ok, if you don’t have a pair of these yet, then you need to get on it, stat! The trend isn’t going anywhere, so you might as well hop on board! These denim basics are great for everyday errands, lunch with the girls, or even date night (with the right styling and accessorizing, of course!).
What wardrobe basics can’t you live without?

I like neutrals too. Not one for loud prints or neon colors. I like your picks, but because I am always cold I would be adding more chunky sweaters.
February 11, 2014 @ 12:10 pm
Yeah, I have tons of sweaters. I’m always cold too!

I was just thinking yesterday that I really need a slip for a couple of my dresses. I’ll have to get on that soon!
February 11, 2014 @ 12:35 pm
I need one in every color!
February 11, 2014 @ 10:22 am
Kind of ironic that they are called basics when most of the time you neeeed them to put together an outfit, no?

These are great basics, Megan! I, too, am always drawn to neutrals – I feel like I LIVE in tans and black! I’ve needed a cotton slip for a while – thank you for the suggestion 🙂

My wardrobe basics are skinny jeans, cardigans, basic tanks, and basic scoop neck tees!!

February 11, 2014 @ 4:33 pm
So cute!! Yeah, cardigans are a must!
February 11, 2014 @ 2:26 pm
Skinny jeans and basic v-necks were my life at one point. It was basically all I wore for a while. I had the same t-shirt in all the colors, and I just switched colors every day. hahaha it was great.
February 11, 2014 @ 4:33 pm
So comfy and casual! Just add some fun with accessories – love it!
February 11, 2014 @ 4:26 pm
great list of basics, Megan! My list looks a lot like yours. I would add grey sweaters and sweatshirts and scarves!
XO, Gina

Omg my sister tells me I have waaayyyy too many grey shirts, lol! I beg to differ 😉
February 11, 2014 @ 5:41 pm

I’m all about the neutrals too! Especially black. One wardrobe basic that I can’t live without is black leggings.

Oh, that is such a good one!! LOVE leggings! <3
February 11, 2014 @ 7:11 pm
I have to have jeans, summer dresses, flips, comfortable tees.
February 11, 2014 @ 9:08 pm
Summer dresses are the best!
February 11, 2014 @ 8:18 pm
You are right, every wardrobe needs these things!

Ah the cotton slip is a great choice (and usually so hard to find!) Thanks for leaving a link! And yes, the cable sweater is definitely basic you can always throw on!
Great list, Megan! c;

I can’t live without my skinny jeans and denim skirts.
February 12, 2014 @ 2:34 pm
Isn’t denim the best? 🙂

I desperately need a cotton slip. I have several silk ones but with this incredibly dry winter air, I’m a rolling ball of static cling. I don’t know how I’ve never thought of a cotton option!
February 12, 2014 @ 2:35 pm
Yep, cotton is a great option!! The store I listed (Riffraff) has 3 colors. Plus use code LUSHTOBLUSH and get 10% off your order!
February 12, 2014 @ 3:59 pm
I’m totally with you on all of these wardrobe basics and I’d also add a black blazer to my list. It’s such an easy way to dress up any outfit.

A blazer is a great wardrobe basic! So true!!
February 12, 2014 @ 5:14 pm
These are great! I’m always looking for more basics to add to my wardrobe, I feel like you can never have enough. I’ll definitely be checking out that Ryan tee. I’ve been wanting a plain tee shirt to wear on more casual days with skinny jeans and boots and maybe a scarf, but not look like a slob. Thanks for the tip! xx, Elizabeth

Yay, so glad you like! Everlane also has a few other really great options for affordable, yet high quality tees!
February 12, 2014 @ 11:37 pm
You got me with the tees! I love a fresh v-neck white tee, especially in the summer time! Great post girly!
February 13, 2014 @ 12:48 am
They’re the best!! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
February 14, 2014 @ 12:13 am
Everlane seriously makes some great basics!
February 14, 2014 @ 12:25 am

I own all these basics and they all necessary. I wear a tank everyday under whatever I am wearing.
