A classic blue DENIM, a crisp white BLOUSE/SHIRT, a structured BLAZER and a pair of comfortable HEELS are all wardrobe essentials. Everyone should have at least one of each in their closet. When building your wardrobe from the scratch, buy basics and pieces that you can mix and match. When buying your first blazer, I highly recommend a black one; don’t start with a pink blazer like the one I have on. Black is classic and can be worn to all occasions including work. To know the essential pieces you need in your closet/wardrobe, click here.
For this look, I was wearing a skinny denim and a crisp white shirt, it is a classic look and to add a dash of fun and a pop of colour to the look, I threw on a fuschia pink blazer. Also wearing a pop of colour is the best way to brighten up every look especially this Fall/Autumn. You can wear your own pop of colour anywhere you fancy; do colour on your bag or even on your lips, whatever you do, just have fun and be happy with it.
The denim is so easy to dress up and also easy to dress down. I will show you how to dress a denim down in a future post. As always, I finished the look with a pair of cut out pumps. A pair of flats will also do for this look, I just happen to love heels better.
This shirt is one of the oldest pieces in my closet. I have had it for more than 5 years, I wear it loads and it is still as good as new. For me, when I buy shirts, I look for details like frills/gathers: they make a simple white shirt/blouse look dressier. I will do a post on how to choose the best white shirt and how to care for them soon.
What classic pieces do you have in your closet? Leave me a comment, let me know. As always, thank you so much for stopping by. I am always happy to see you here. Wishing you a lovely day and blessings from heaven.
Don’t forget, you are beautiful.
Much Love, Mojisola

Amazing look my dear Mojisola. You are so stunning. Have you ever been model or you are like this natural? As for my classic pieces, I have small obsession with blazers, different colors and styles, also pencil skirts. I think these are timeless pieces that will always be IN

Hi Melisa,
Thank you my love. Yes, I was once a model. I haven’t done modeling in a while but you know what they say, once you are a model, you are always a model. I do get calls from time to time but maybe in the future. And pencil skirts and blazers are my best classics too. Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers, Mojisola

Looking great as always! That blazer is excellent. I could use a couple fun ones for my closet – right now, mine are all drab and suit-like.
