sotoday I wantedtotalkaboutmyessentialpiecesinmywardrobeforspring.
Honestly, theseareessentialpiecesthat I wearallyearlong, someversionofthemwiththat's weatherappropriate, thethingsthatbringthemostversatilityandtomywardrobe, things I canwearseveraldifferentways.
Thingsthatjustbring a lotofvaluetomyclosetfortheirpricepoint.
Obviously, ifyouthemoreyoutakecareofthesepieces, themorethatthey'regoingtolastandjustbringyouvaluefor a longtime.
Someofthem I'vehadinmyclosetfor a coupleyears, andsomeofthemarenewbuthavereallymade a differenceinmycloset.
Thereare a fewstatementpieces, though, thatcan't reallybeversatilebutreallyarenotreplaceablewithotherlikeversatileorcasualpieces.
Sothere's a mixedbaghere, andlet's getstarted.
If I hadtopickonepairofjeans, I wouldpicksomethingthat's highwaistedwith a wideleg.
Sothere's onepairinparticular.
TheJesseCamsailorpantsinherAmericanDunhamiswhat I got.
Shehas, like a cowboy.
Dunham, right, Now, theminutethat I hadthesearrive, I lovedthemsomuch, I feltliketheywerethecrownjewelofmycloset.
Soallgoodthingsthere, mynextmusthaveformyclosetis a whitebuttondownshirt, especially a silkone, becausesilkdoesnotwrinkleasmuchastheylikeotherones, like a poplinoranyproblems.
Okay, Butlike a cottonshirt, especially, it's usuallyhangingupinmycloset.
Andthen I'm like, Oh, I havetoironitforsonoso a silkonejustdoesnotwrinkleasmuch.
Itjustdoesn't havethatcharacteristiclikeflawtoit, whichwouldwrinklequicklyorlikeLenin, wouldwrinklemorequicklythan, say, a silkshirt.
I alsolikethisone a lotbecauseit's moreofus.
Straightorrelaxed, Fitalsoeverlanes.
SilkLine.
They'vereallycleaneditupsince I firstboughtthis.
Butthiswassomethingthat I boughtoriginallywhen I kindofstartedoveronmypersonalstylejourney.
Anditwasjustsomethingthatwasveryclassic, that I couldmatchwithanythingatall.
Sothat's why I wentforthisone.
I endedupbuyingoneinblacklaterontoandjustbroughtjustevenmoreversatilitytomyclosetwiththat.
Anotherawesomesilkitemis a skirtfromElizabethSuzanne.
Theonlytimethat I'veeverhadanysortofpainisif I decidedtowalkmilesandmilesinthemandbecauseit's a leather.
If I'm goingbarefoot, thenit's gonnablisterjustnaturally.
Butif I knewaheadoftimethatwasgoingtodothat, I wouldrecommendwearinglike a sockwiththemortights.
Andthatwouldbe a reallyprettylook, too.
I'vebeenknowntoweartheseinallsortsofweatherandnotjustinspringtime, butifyouliveinmoreof a mildclimate, youcanweartheseindifferentseasons.
Ifit's notlikerainingoranythingoutside, I haveactuallyhadthesein a coupleofdifferentcolors, but I reallylikethisbeautiful a Swedesandcolor, whichjustkindofmatchesmyskintonebetter.
There's sometimeswhere I don't wantthatcolorchangebetweenmylegsandmyshoesif I wanttolooktaller.
Ifmyoutfitmightotherwiselook a littlebitfrumpy, I canchangethatjustbyhaving a newchew.
Andit's also a pointedtoe, sothathelps, too.
Next, I havetohaveatleastonepairofshoesthathave a heelsofthem, especially a nudepair.
When I wastryingondifferentoutfits, I almostreturnedtheseshoes.
I wasn't sureoffthepricepoint, andthat's why I waslike, Well, maybe I willreturnthem.
Maybethey're a littlebittootrendy.
But I havetosaytherewasnothingelselikethisinmyclosetthat I couldwearwithsomanydifferentoutfitsthatwouldgivemyoutfitsjusttherightedgetothem.
I don't know.
Itgaveit a wholenotherlevelofsophisticationandjustbeauty.
Sothesearefrombyfar, and I justlovethatthey'restrappy.
Sometimesonjustatnight, I feeljustnaturallycolderjustinmyhouse, too.
Thisis a reallylovelysweaterbyeverlane.
It's a cashmere, justverybasicsweaterthat I'vewornwithskirts.
I'vewornitwithjeans.
I'veactuallyevenwornittobedandsleptinit a fewtimes.
It's justreallysoft.
But I alsolikethefactthateventhoughitis a bitthicker, it's notthicklikebulkyatall.
Sothisis a reallygreatoption, andagainit's inthisbeautifullikecreamcolor.
It's notsomethingthatisoutofmyneutralcomfortzone.
I havenotopposedtoanysortofsweaterrightnow, like I'veevenkeptaroundsomeofmyturtlenecksinmyclosetjustbecause I willfind a waytowearthem.
There's probablystilloneortwomorecolddaysthat I wanttoprepareforfourdaysthat I reallywarm, Ontheotherhand, becausespringisreallyunpredictable, I havetohave a goodtank, especiallyifyouguysaregoingonvacationatall.
Theonethingthat I wouldpackawayisjust a reallynicetankthat I canjustthrowinmyexsuitcaseanditdoesn't takeup a lotofroom, sothisoneisfrommydearestand I haveitintwodifferentcolors.
It's thesameexactone.
So I haveitinblackandtheyalsohaveitinwhite.
I have, like a varietyoftankswherethere's, like V necksandyouknow, justallsorts.
Buthavingthemlikethisisstill a statementpiece.
Itdoesn't feellikejust a normaltank, kindofeventhetrendyninetiesvibetoit.
I justliketobeabletopairthiswith a goodpairofjeansorshorts.

Theoptionsarereallyendless.
I likedthatthisonecameuphighto, andit's stillgotjust a smallstraponit.
And I alwaysendupwearingtheuse, doingstuffaroundthehouse, likecleaningandstuff, too.
Soit's justkindof a waywhere I couldwearthesameshirtalldaylongforalldifferentpurposes.
Andfinally, there's alwaysoneoccasionwhere I wanttowear a statementdress.
Thisis a seasonalitem.
I usuallyhavetohaveonefor, like, summerandspring, andthenanotheronethat's morelikemoreappropriateforcolderweatherlikefallwinter.
SotheoptionsareendlessfromDohain.
I woulddefinitelysaytogothereifyouwantsomethingthatisuniqueandverydetailedandfeminineandflowy.
I sweartherehavebeensomanycomplimentswhen I'vewarnedsomethingfromDohainbecauseit's justsounique.
There's nothingouttherelikeit.
Italmostfeelslikeit's from a differenttime, like a differentera.
Also, doughinpiecesare a splurgebecausethey'reuniqueandtheyhaveverylikeethicalwaysthattheyoperate.
