I just can’t get away from basic black. It’s all I would ever wear if I didn’t actually put effort into my wardrobe. I wore this black wrap blouse during fashion week, and I’ve worn it at least 10 more times since. However, when you find a great black top my rule of thumb is always get it because it will be that “go-to” top whenever you can’t figure out what to wear. Oh, and how often do you think you wear black jeans in the fall and winter? Well, if it’s me I wear these black distressed skinny jeans almost every day. Let’s not forget a basic black pair of heels. These black suede ankle strap heels should be essential to your wardrobe, and they are a little more chic than a basic black pair of pumps.
