“If you own something this special, you need to wear it all the time – Yasmin Sewell”
I totally agree with Yasmin or maybe that’s just my excuse to be a repeat offender. Take it as you want, but I’m pretty sure we all have items in our closet that we somehow always end up reaching for every time. I like to think of mine as “my style/ wardrobe essentials”

I feel like most of my recent posts have been pretty serious stuff and I decided that a fun quick post wouldn’t be a bad idea. So I’m sharing five of my wardrobe essentials – that I just can’t stop reaching out for and of course ways I’ve styled them here on the blog for you all to go check out if you’d like to see.
Let’s dig in.
1. Blue Denim Jacket.
A funny back story here – One time I was going to the cinema with my roommate and pulled out my denim jacket and she commented on how I wear this so much that I should probably blog about how I wear it so much! Of course, I called her a hater but at that time, this post idea was already written down in my blog planner with “my denim jacket as first on the list! haha. That should probably give you a picture of how much I wear this jacket.
The denim jacket is one of my absolute favorite things and definitely a wardrobe essential for me. Draping it over my shoulder is one of my quick style hacks to elevate an outfit.

2. Mom Jeans.
Who would have thought that the mom jeans would be replacing the skinny jeans in the scale of preference for me (And lots of fashion people)?. I actually haven’t worn skinny jeans in what seems like ages to me now! I apologized for constantly styling it on the blog in my last style post and truth is, I really can’t help it. The mom jeans is super stylish, comfortable, and in vogue right now. Definitely, a must have in any wardrobe. Yours doesn’t have to be really over size though if you’re not into the baggy fit.

3. White Shirt.
The white shirt is a wardrobe essential – you can dress it up for work, dress down and it comes it handy as a template for layering! It’s a no-brainer that it just had to make the list.
I got this particular one at the bloggers yard sale last year from Mide Coker. As soon as I saw it on that rack, I knew it had to be mine and was going to be one of my faves. I think the shirt knew it too because I was lucky enough to still purchase it a few days after the yard sale.

- Denim Layers + Print Pleated Midi Skirt.
4. Nude Flat Shoes.
Heels are wonderful and do a great job of making an outfit look fab but flat shoes will alway be Bae for me. I tire too easily when I wear heels and because of my work, I have to constantly be in flat shoes.
I got this nude flats a while back and I’ve been wearing it non-stop. It’s nothing too fancy but I love how it goes with just about anything I wear while being super practical and comfortable too. After the black shoe, everyone definitely needs a nude shoe.

5. Red Lipstick.
Ah, the good ol classic red lip. I’m now quite sure if you “apply or wear lipstick” but the red lipstick is almost always my first pick. Although now I’m trying to use other colors like purple and brown, the red lipstick still remains an essential for me. Plus, honestly, I just feel it brightens up my face and makes me look prettier. :). I still use the house of Tara Jemila lipstick which I’ve reviewed previously here

I can’t stop wearing mom jeans & the Kylie True Brown lipstick I got recently. Also there’s this flat caged sandals I got, patent leather, so comfortable! Need to do an outfit post just because of the sandals. Abeg denim jackets are too lit not to be rerocked, I get a lot of orders on them from my store.

I love when you wear your mom jeans, they always look so good so I don’t blame you for rocking them all the time haha. Nowadays, I always reach for my black high waist jeans as they go with everything. I find it really hilarious because I used to hate wearing jeans before. xx

I just knew the denim jacket would be first on the list.
Confession: Cassie Daves made me buy denim jacket. And I’m wearing mine a bit too often and with almost every clothing.
Yay to mom jeans and white shirt on the list.

I love denim jackets and shirts so much! but the heat ehn… killer. I think mom jeans were made just for you, seeing as you always rock them so well, currently I have been wearing my tank vest alot, as I am always lazying around or sewing at home haha
Mine would have to be a black skirt, my black flat shoe, my vaseline which serves as my lipgloss and other stuff, my bum short and any random top.

My friends just kidnapped my denim jacket because I wear it too much, 😢😢😢
