Part 3: Wardrobe Staples You Must Have

Whether you are petite or not, there are some wardrobe essentials that every woman must have.  I’ve done Part 1 and Part 2 of this series and felt the need to do a part 3. Here’s a recap for new readers of my previous posts:
#1. White skirt
There are endless options when it comes to white skirts. If you are more of a casual person, then a pencil skirt may not be the right choice for you. Here are my suggestions: (click on each image)

#2. Perfect pair of jeans
There is nothing like a perfect pair of denim and it took blogging to help me find the perfect pair. And of course it includes the Gap legging jeans, a very comparable Banana Republic pair and a promising pair of skinny jeans with several different inseam choices.  Here are my picks:


#3. White blazer

A white blazer is a must have especially for Spring and Summer. It’s super versatile and goes with everything. You can dress it up or wear with jeans. Here are some great options: (Ann Taylor, Theory and Bebe)

#4. Statement Jewelry
Nothing says bold than a pop of color from a statement necklace or piece of jewelry. Here are my favorites: (Amrita Singh, F21 and Ann Taylor)


#5. Beige/Nude Sandals
If you wear pumps all day to work, it’s nice to give your feet a break on the weekends and slip into some cute wedges or nude sandals. They not only elongate your legs but matches with everything. Here are some that I think are super cute: ( Cute wedgesAnn Taylor, dressier sandals)

I did a corresponding video to this post showing you my wardrobe essentials for Part 1, 2 and 3 but that will be uploaded at another time:)
Please share with me any ideas or items you think should be added to the list:) Maybe for Part 4?

Review: Ann Taylor Summer Sandals

  1. i've been looking for a white blazer everywhere! but it's hard to find one that fits perfect since i'm so petite. also, i am 99% sure something horrible will spill on me if i wear it HAHA

    great post! thanks for the awesome suggestions =]

  2. Besides the jeans (which can be worn year round), the other 4 is a great list for the summer. I'm not sure about wearing a white blazer with a white skirt, but as separates they are so versatile.

  3. I kind of agree with Aubrey, though I might prefer a light grey or something similar to khaki, like a cream. I love the color white, but a stark white can be so harsh and unflattering against an asian skin tone.

  4. Great list. I don't have white skirt (yet). I am so paranoid with white skirt because I don't think I could pull it off.. 🙁

  5. great list and i definitely agree with them all..especially bold necklaces! got myself one from hautelook AS sale last week! 🙂

  6. i definitely agree about jeans, statement jewelry, and wedges! i still feel really self-conscious wearing white blazers though. they're so extreme! maybe you can teach me how hahaha 😀

  7. I have everything except the white skirt. Well, I have a peasant flowing one, but those pencil skirts looked great!

  8. Great staples! I've really been enjoying your series 🙂 I would also add a classic pair of stud earrings (diamonds/CZ or pearls).

  9. Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is a really neatly written article.
    I will make sure to bookmark it and come back
    to read more of your helpful info. Thanks
    for the post. I’ll certainly comeback.

  10. I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog.
    It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and
    visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
    Fantastic work!

  11. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.

    The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Internet
    explorer. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser
    compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
    The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Kudos
