You should always have basic key pieces in your closet for when you find yourself with nothing to wear. I always preach planning ahead for an event. In this case, I did not take my own advice. I waited too late to order some dresses, and they came in just a couple of hours before the party. And of course, none of them worked. So I had to make do with what I had. I came up with a black skirt, ivory bodysuit (I’m in XS), a pair of heels and a straw clutch. These are pieces that you can throw together last minute and still look put together. This is why we need great basics in our closet! LTKVideo LTKover40 LTKstyletip
