Things to buy for the new me...

Lately, I've been hearing how cute I look or how gorgeous. That's because I've been finally dressing myself the way I have always wanted to dress. Before I was ashamed of my feet, my legs, my height and weight. I would dress in clothes to camouflage and hide myself. Now, I 'm dressing in clothes I love, dresses, tights, shoes and purses and I'm putting them on and feeling good about myself. I also have hair that works, wearing make up and smiling more... it works.

But my wardrobe is a bit sparse. I'm slowly shopping adding things in, below are a few things I need and every girl should have.

1. A Little Black Dress. It can be any shape, any sleeve length, but you need to have at least one of these, preferably one made with a jersey fabric that you can throw in the washing machine for easy, affordable care.

2. A White Button-down. An American classic—this is one of my favorite summer looks. A button down and jeans shorts.

3. Dark Trouser Jeans. Fits and washes go in and out of style but trouser cuts are always classic and classy! They’re also the most universally flattering.

4. A Bright, Lightweight Scarf. This is not just a winter item—gauzy summer scarves dress up t-shirts and help battle frigid office air-conditioning!

5. A Grey Merino Sweater. Grey is the new black AND the new white. It’s a neutral that looks good with virtually every complexion.
