Basic CLOSET ESSENTIALS Every Girl Needs to Own

HELLO, my fam!! I’m back with a video that I’ve been dying to do for a long time. You know that feeling when you have a closet full of clothes, but you keep wearing the same damn tee shirt over and over again?! Well, we’re getting down to the basics today!

Basics are probably the most important items in your closet because they are the foundation of the house, girl. They are timeless, versatile pieces that are so simplistic they look amazing with literally anything you pair them with. Mix and match the basics for a clean, minimalist outfit or use them to balance out trendier pieces. Throughout my 20s, I’ve discovered and invested in higher quality basics, and it’s been one of the best things I’ve done for my wardrobe. I don’t ever have to worry about these items falling out of fashion or growing too old for them.

In this video, I share each of my “closet essentials” for you. I have linked all my favorites, plus more options for you down below. Thank you SO much for joining me today and Hope you enjoy!!! xoxo – Erica
