I always get asked a lot of questions like what should I have in my wardrobe and like I wanna upgrade my wardrobe, what to buy.
So I've made up a list with suggested items on what to buy if you are in need of a new wardrobe.
Side note: The basic "girl next door" look is partly preppy and partly Fashionable/trendy.
To be a girl next door it's important to be a lady of style, class, culture and offcourse brains. Nothing more attractive than a beauty with brains.
Ur wardobe is split up in 3 sections: fondamentales, déterminer et finitions. Please excuse my french. translation: the core, the defining pieces and the finishing touches section.
In a wardrobe you have to be able to mix the pieces to complete a total look, a variety of looks and outfits.
Le fondamentales. This are the pieces that you absolutely require. These items are timeless and really capture the essence of any well-dressed lady look. You litteraly can't live without your fondamental items. They should be a combo of your personality and practicality.
Le determiner pieces. This part of your wardrobe should consist of items that are 90% representing you and your style and 10% trend.
It may happen that a certain trend becomes a part of your personal style and that is ok. Basically these are the items that are kind of defining your personality and really make your look. They make you look like you. This part of your wardrobe should also have a few signature pieces.
The last section of your wardrobe should all be about le finitions and extra's. They are not really necessary but you want them to complete the look.
- Jeans:
2 pairs of skinny jeans (dark- and light wash)
- Khaki's/Pants:
a tregging or any kind of pants. (Camel/Navy/Khaki)
-A cardigan in neutral color

(The shoes you pick for your core are totally up to you. They should accentuate your personal style and you should be able to wear them with anything anyday.)
