There are some things that I find essential to keep in my wardrobe, and I will spend a little more on them if I HAVE to. These are things I will get a couple of years out of at least.
So that brings me to today's business at hand. What things should be essential pieces of your wardrobe? Here are the "Top 10 Pieces I Can't Live Without".
1. Good Butt Jeans
Jeans can be a shopping nightmare. If you find a pair that make your butt look great, buy them and buy them in bulk. If they get discontinued, you'll be sad. Especially if it's a universal style. What I mean by that is a pair that you can dress up or down. These babies are my favorite. The butt pockets are positioned just right to give you a nice tush because they are a little closer together. Plus the wider waistband is more flattering. I have them in a couple of shades. Normally, I am not a fan of junior's jeans because they ride so low but these are great!

| Angel Jeans - Kohl's $40 |
I am a HUGE fan of Victoria's Secret for clothing, dresses in particular. They just fit me really well. This is my newest purchase. I can dress it up with heels or wear it with boots for work. It's simple but sexy. Fitted, but the ruching is flattering so that you don't feel like you have to suck it in all day.

| Victoria's Secret - Ruched Cotton Sweaterdress $49.50 |
You can wear it with jeans and look bad ass or throw it over a dress for a sexy look for a night out. I say go tailored and not trendy. Biker but not Hell's Angels.

| RD Style Pleather Jacket - $59 at www.bluefly.com |
Nothing looks more classic or pulled together than a white blouse with dress pants or even jeans. It's simple, classic and easy to do. Just make sure it fits well. Busting out of it is not classy.
5. Good Bra
Nothing makes your clothes fit or look better than a good bra. Go and get fitted. Most women are not wearing the right size. Hoist the girls up a little too. It will instantly make you look slimmer.
6. Black Dress Pants
Go for a wide waistband, it's more flattering. Especially if you have any mommy pooch. No pleats. Repeat after me, "pleats are BAD". Choose a little bit of a wider leg. Something that drops straight down off the bum.
7. Brown Western Style Leather Boots
Wear them with jeans, leggings, dresses and skirts. I like them to look a little beat up too.

| Nickels Raven Cognac Boots - $69.99 Famous Footwear |
You can wear nude high heels with almost anything. Notice I said "almost". Wearing a nude heel makes your legs look longer because you are not cutting your leg off with a drastic change in color. Pick a tone close to your skin color and go for a simple pump that works with more clothing choices. I am a big fan of Jessica Simpson's shoe line. Many times you can find them at TJ Maxx a lot cheaper.

9. Red High Heels
Sexy, sexy, sexy. A pop of red with a black dress or black pants is perfect. It's unexpected and timeless.
10. Pashmina/Scarf
I love pashminas. I must have them in at least 20 colors. You can wear them in the winter with a coat or everyday as an accessory to your outfit. They can be tied a ton of different ways too. I always choose colors that compliment my skin tone. That way if I want to wear an outfit that might not be my best color, I can add a coordinating pashmina that flatters my skin tone more.
For me, all of these items complete my wardrobe from season to season. They are classic pieces that I can mix with the trendier styles that come and go. I'd love to hear what you can't live without. Feel free to comment here or on my Facebook page!
Have a beautiful weekend!
