Written By Regan Mading

It has almost been a full year since I have started this blog (we are about two moths away!) So, I’m bringing back my first post when I talked about a list of items that everyone needs in their closets. If you have been following my fashion related posts then YOU KNOW that those must-have items are actually pieces that I wear all the time, and are featured in almost every outfit I wear. In this post I’m breaking it down, plain and simple, how to style the items everyone needs in their closet. These outfits are versatile, taylor-able and totally chic. I hope you enjoy and as always, get some style inspo <3
