There are a couple of items in my wardrobe that I always repeatedly go to. Most I stumbled upon and some I’ve even replaced. In the heart of Thanksgiving and in consideration of my clothing obsessions, I thought I’d share my five most coveted items. More importantly, let it be known that I am very fortunate to be able to write about favorite clothing items. I am indeed a lucky gal–and not only for the clothes on my back but for my family, friends, opportunities, and my pathway of life.
1. I’ve written about my sailor tee before. This is my 3rd shirt, and I’ve given it to both my sisters. (I am not sure if they’ve gotten repeats yet.) I turn to the shirt if I’m in a rut, if I want to feel cozy, or if I want to look casual yet chic. I kind of think every woman needs this shirt in her closet.
2. I picked up these boyfriend jeans in Paris. I made the poor family walk all over town to get them. What happened was I tried them on, and then didn’t get them. Hence, I fixated on them and every H&M we passed, I had to go in and try them on–only to not find my size. I finally went back to the original store, ran in, and bought them. Enough was enough! This was back in 2009. I’m so glad I was persistent; they are still my favorite pair of jeans–as last seen here.
3. If you hit the Gap at the end of a season, you can seriously score. I happened upon these black pants days before returning over seas during one summer home. They were not even $10! They are so perfect though: the waist is tailored, there are pockets, and the legs are a bit pegged. They are my go-to travel pants as they are both comfy and look a little sophisticated. Well, at least they make me feel that way.
4. These leopard boots were a score last winter here in Hong Kong. I think I may even strut when I wear them. There is a heel, but it is manageable. Even the sound they make is divine. I love wearing these boots–with just about anything. To me, they are neutral!
5. I seem to wear this faux chain a ton. It’s a great layering piece that adds just enough bling. If you look closely, you can see there are some rhinestones attached. One day Gigi and I were exploring Mon Kok for jewellery craft making. Well, I was happy when I found this ready made piece
Do you have any favorite pieces that just bring you comfort? Items that you can always rely on? What are they? I really do want to know.
