The Ultimate Wardrobe Essentials

If you were to look through my wardrobe you’d notice a few things: I love bright colors, stripes, sandals and dresses.  You would also notice that when I find something I like, I end up buying it in pretty much every color.  I love to get all dolled up and wear fancy clothes, but more often than not I’m wearing comfy clothes that I can bum around in, while still looking respectable.  Below are the items that have become absolute essentials in my wardrobe.  And by essentials I mean I have more multiples than I should admit.  Regardless, these staples are comfortable, cute and classy, and I don’t think I could live without them, and neither should you!

    Gah, I was hoping to find some gorgeous striped tees here after reading the first few lines..! You wouldn't BELIEVE how hard it is to find a blue and white striped shirt over here that
    a) doesn't have that weird short in front, long in the back style
    b) isn't too white; I look like my own ghost in that color
    and c) fits my 6'1'' frame.
    It's definitely a #firstworldproblem, but a problem nevertheless!

    Rant over, I definitely love your style, though! Cute but relaxed, perfect combo 🙂

    These are definitely some of my essentials too! I love the J.Crew shorts for summer, the Tory Burch flops are perfect for the beach or pool, and I'm pretty sure I live in my Kate Spade studs. Loving all of these! Looking forward to following along with you.

    Love this post! Would you ever do a post on work out/running essentials. Like what you always keep in your gym bag and what bag you use for a gym bag! Looking for a cuter alternative to an old nike bag.

    Love your blog 🙂

    I absolutely love striped shirts too Johanna! Here in the US I often rely on J.Crew or Old Navy for them, not sure about where to find good ones in Germany though!
