wanna be fashion queen . . .

So, I'm not {at all} a fashion expert, but I do think I have a 'sense of style.' I love basics. Anybody can look good in basics. In fact, almost every fashion tip show that you watch will almost always focus on basics. I'm also learning that part of fashion, is just having the confidence to wear what you are wearing confidently. It's the best accessory. In no particular order . . . here are my top must haves . . .

1} black cardigan


everybody.should.have.a.black.cardigan.
Mine is about 3 years old, it's faded, but I love it. I have looked several times for a new one, but I just love the way mine fits so much- I'm not buying a new one until I find one that fits just like this one.
Seriously- they're cheap & convenient. Go get one.

2} maternity tank top.
yep, even if you're not pregnant. why?? because they are long. everyone knows someone who's shirts or sweaters always sit just a little too high, right? Don't be that person! Layer it up w/ a long, tank underneath- by 'lengthing' your look it will make you appear longer & leaner.
{I buy mine in the maternity section @ Target}

3} large round earrings.


preferable in this color. goes with everything. spices up a plain outfit.


4} scarf.
again . . . adds so much to a basic outfit. so cheap.

5} head gear.
paper boy hats. knit beanies. fabric headbands/scarfs.
{necessity for greasy hair days!}


6} mascara.
preferable this one. best mascara ever!
mascara goes a loooonnnggg way.
oh . . so do waxed eye brows!!
mascara: use it! waxed eyebrows: do it!


7} white v neck.

i'm a sucker for vintage fit tees. these are so versatile. dress them up or dress them down.
let's just watch the cleavage, 'kay?


8} goodwill.
fashion doesn't have to be expensive. shop here. see what you can find . . . you may be surprised.


9} never. ever. nope. nada.
