Every good wardrobe is built on a foundation of basics. Some take years to find (like the perfect tee) and others are like old friends who continue to hold a special place in your closet for years (like my black skinny jeans). As I begin my 5 Piece French Wardrobe challenge, I thought it best to assess the best of basics to see what I am missing. This will ultimately guide me towards the 5 pieces to buy for the season. But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Back to the basics. While I firmly believe it is important to invest in quality basics to build the foundation of your wardrobe, it isn’t always necessary to spend a lot of money.
