Back to Basics: The List
My, my, my has this site seen its share of transitions. I won’t say this is it because I may have said that before. We’ll just try this on and see how it fits.
Speaking of fits, I’ve been more than a little unhappy with my current wardrobe. I guess you can say I find myself in some sort of transition. I used to be able to pull things together without too much thought. Lately, my closet is so cluttered that I find myself re-using the same things over and over again. Not that its a bad thing, but I decided that if I was gonna re-use some pieces they might as well be basics that I’m in love with. I find myself wanting a more mature wardrobe as well. So armed with Nina Garcia’s The One Hundred and an extensive catalog of sartorial shots of my favorites (Miroslava Duma, Emanuelle Alt and Giovanna Battaglia) I’ve been trying to put together a list of basics.
Here’s my list:
-Brown Leather Belt for wrapping/cinching (Extra Long) – Gifted
-Skinny Brown Leather Belt (Extra Long)
-Thick Sweatpants in Heather Gray
