Hey everyone!! So I am going to start out with a wishlist of basic items that I want or have from 2011 that every girl should invest in. I will be putting together items from this year that are a must have in your closet ! Of course everything on my list will be for girls who are trying to keep it hijab friendly or even if you are not hijab-y, but want to keep it nice and covered :) so enjoy! :)
1)So the first thing on my list, is a white blazer. I have been running around everywhere to find one, but I was out of luck this year because, by the time I realized how much I needed a white blazer, the summer inventory was wiped out. Its okay because that will be one of the first things I purchase next summer! This is Kim Kardashian wearing a white blazer/jacket that I am in love with. I love that she paired it with a pair of leather leggings and black pumps. I absolutely love this look. You can pair a white blazer with anything you want, whether its jeans, khaki leggings, black leggings, genie pants etc.!
2) The second on my list are a pair of white pants. This is a basic item that every girl should have, especially for the summer. You can pair them with absolutely anything. This is a picture of me and my bestie, Meera. I wore my white pants the other night out with a tan shirt and nude belt and nude hijab =)
3) Third on my list are pair of camel and black braided belts. This item on my list is not specific but a bare necessity to rock with almost every outfit. I wear my belts with either my shirt tucked in or over a long loose shirt or dress. I recently got myself a nude patent leather belt to wear with my tans and nudes. If you wanna dress up an outfit go for the patent leather or plain leather thin belts!
4) A gold watch, whether it be a Michael Kors, Invicta, or Guess, is a must have! I got this watch recently as a gift from a special someone and I wear mine EVERYDAY with EVERYTHING. I absolutely love it. Gold is my new favorite color for accessories !
5) This summer bright color basics like pants or button downs or tanks were all over the place and I say a MUST GET. At first, I was a little hesitant about how I would be able to pull of the bright colored pants, but I took a risk and went with the coral orange and I fell in love! How do you think i did? I wore my orange pants with a satin white collared shirt from H&M and gold accessories!
6)My next item on the list are a pair of nude heels. They can either be peep toe or pumps or strappy sandals, but one of my favorites are the Steve Madden Caryssa !
7) A bulky necklace was one of the most popular necklace trends this year. Bulky necklaces are so cute with a casual day or a night out! Get them girls!! They are a Must!!...Forever 21 has an amazing selection for affordable prices!
8) The perfect flats are a must have and this year leopard and camel flats were everywhere. I love leopard prints, especially in a pair of flats.
9) Shoulder Bags are one of my most favorite accessories from this year. If you girls havent gone out and bought yourself one of them, you definitely should!!! I currently have myself 5 of them but still want more!! they are so comfortable and go with almost anything you wear!
