Finding trendy items are easy; they go with the season. But what you need to keep in your closet all year around are your CORE ITEMS.

CORE ITEMS consist of basic pieces that are easy to match and are very essential in building your BASIC WARDROBE.

I’ll be sharing with you my first set of Core Items every girl needs in her closet. I decided start writing fashion-related articles, to expound the content of my blog. Follow me on twitter.com/andreajavelosa

01. A good pair of SKINNY JEANS. They basically are for multi-use; they are flexible and can almost be worn anytime, anywhere.

02. PLAIN COLORED T-SHIRTS. I would specifically recommend WHITE, BLACK & a color of your choice.

03. PLAIN SLEEVELESS SHIRTS. They are versatile and would look great with any kind of jacket, cardigan or bottoms.

04. DENIM SHORTS. They are like skinny jeans, only SEXIER.

05. JACKETS & CARDIGANS. I would recommend blacks or whites; not too plain or too trendy. They are for multi-use; both for fashion and protection on cold weather. Who says you can’t look good and be practical at the same time?

06-09: When it comes to shoes, there would be THREE basic pairs every girl needs in her closet: plain black FLATS, BOOTS & PUMPS.
