We all have that issue where despite having a closet and dressers absolutely packed with clothes, we feel like we have nothing to wear. I play that game all the time, standing in my closet staring at the abundance of clothing surrounding me and feeling completely perplexed as to how I am going to put an outfit together that day.
That’s why wardrobe staples are everything. Timeless, classic go-to items that you can mix and match or wear together makes life so much easier.
This outfit is something I pieced together with stuff I’ve had for ages. And yet it looks polished and perfect and makes me feel like I just bought it yesterday.
Since it’s the holiday season, all of these are on sale right now, but even if you come across this post after the sale I highly recommend all of them. Even at full price, they’re all a great deal for timeless pieces!
Get the look:
1. Plaid blazer
I’ve had this Forever 21 plaid blazer for ages. In fact, I think I bought it not too long after high school. They are definitely one of my go-to retailers when I’m looking for wardrobe staples, and they still have great plaid blazers for under $30!

2. The Perfect Cami
This is another item that I’ve had literally for forever, and thankfully it’s a bestseller at Express and they never get rid of it. If they ever did, I might cry. This really is the best cami ever, thus the name “Best Loved Bra Cami.” I have about 8 of these so I can wear them all week even when I’m in between loads of laundry. The bra support is great and they look great under blazers and blouses or even to act sort of as shapewear to smooth things out under sweaters and other tops.

3. Classic Black Satchel
I say this all the time, but I am OBSESSED with handbags. They effortlessly complete an outfit. You can be wearing jeans and a t-shirt and grab a great handbag and look like a million bucks. And I’m so happy that you no longer have to pay designer prices to get a great looking handbag. I get complimented on mine ALL the time, and besides a few splurges in my life, most of mine are all under $40 and people constantly stop me to ask me where I got them. This is another version of the bag I’m wearing in the photo – both are from Target.

4. Black Pumps
These shoes are SO comfy! And they look good with everything. Similar to an amazing handbag, pumps instantly make any outfit look awesome with such little effort. And look at all the amazing colors these come in! If you’re only going to get one, classic black is definitely the must-have for a wardrobe staple. But if you plan to splurge and get a few the nude and wine colors are amazing, and the hot pink is to die for.
