You can never go wrong with pairing basics. On a day when you don’t know what to wear and no matter what the season is, turn to basics, they never let you down.
What is Basics ?
Basics are wardrobe staples or essential pieces in a functional wardrobe.
Some of the things I consider basics and I highly recommend that every one should have at least one of each in their closets include a denim, a classic white button down shirt, a black pair of pumps;low or high, a structured blazer and many more basics which you can see in my wardrobe essentials or wardrobe staple here.
By the way, on the Moj in touch blog this week, I started the basic colour theory featuring complimentary colours look book and analogous colours look book. Please read, you will find it very helpful. I will continue the colour theory next week.
Now, back to basics!
For my look today, I paired a classic blue denim with a clean, crisp white shirt and black heels tie the look together. To add a little fun factor to the look and also to be trendy, I carried a fringe handbag.
Fashion TIP today ::: How to buy trends
When buying trends, I highly recommend you select pieces you can wear even when the trend is no more trending. One of such trendy items is the “trendy bag” I have on in this post.
And for the ladies who are not so tall. To create the illusion of a longer and leaner frame, skinny denim is the way to go for you. Flared denims are also perfect for making you taller.
Your basics also does not have to be from the high end stores. They can be from some of the high street stores I love and would highly recommend to you as well. Some of them include, HM.com, Zara.com, Asos.com, River Island.com etc. There are a lot of high street stores whose quality are not just affordable but super durable.
I want to thank you so much for stopping by today. I am always very happy to see you here.
Wishing you a fantastic day today and welcome to the weekend.
Much Love, Mojisola.

Re:bum looking great. Don’t know about that but girl you got it…ha ha. Thank you for dropping by. And did you see the epistle I left on your blogging is no cake? Need a feedback please. Want to know your thoughts.
Cheers.
Loving this casual chic look on you Mojisola! And those jeans are fabulous, they fit you like a glove.
So thanks for sharing that!
By the way, I checked out that Pendeza tights site and doesn’t look like I can get some shipped out easily to Canada. Plus the Canadian dollar is terrible right now. Either way, it’s just nice to know there is an alternative

Thank you dear Jackie. I appreciate your feedback.
I sent you a mail already to take care of that.
Cheers to a great weekend.
Much Love, Mojisola.
These pieces are basic at the core but only basic looking if one doesn’t know how to style them. You look chic even on a casual Friday woman.
Also I agree with you on price point. Basics don’t need to be high-end but I’ll say, sometimes especially with a button down shirt, you have to spend a tiny bit more. Well, at least that’s the case with a girl my size. I have broad shoulders, long arms, long torso. I spend a little more because of design and craftsmanship. Have a nice weekend.

I totally understand your need to spend more on design and craftsmanship. I do have long arms too and nothing is long enough. You may notice that my sleeves were rolled up so the shirt doesn’t look like it is not long enough. Well, not complaining!
Take care of you lady and have a great weekend. Did you see the nude pantyhose details I shared for darker skin tone?
Mojisola.
No, I didn’t see that post. I missed another one? I’m a horrible follower. I never wear flesh color hoisery because I can never find the right shade. Winter is here, the temps have finally dropped and doing photo shoots outside is going to get tough. Not that it’s much cover but putting on panty hoise (other than opaque tights) is a helpful option.
No, you are not a horrible follower. I appreciate you stopping by always. The struggle is actually real to shoot outside here. Thank God for back ups. Will send you a link to view the post or see it here…..http://bit.ly/1Z54CR7
The brand is called VENDEZA. Check them on Amazon or on their website.
Nice!
Thanks Dana. Have a fab weekend.
Mojisola.
