Women’s Wardrobe Staples for Covet Fridays

We’ve been in a bit of a fashion funk recently.

You know. Those times you hate everything in your closet. You feel slightly uninspired. It’s like a fashion cold—you have to ride out the symptoms before you are cured.

Well on our road to recovery, we’ve been really thinking about what we want to add to our wardrobes. We’re not talking pieces that will fleetingly make us feel better. We’re talking pieces that will actually fill the void—fill the holes in our closets.

Everyone has holes in their closets, it just sometimes takes a while to figure it out. Well, we are slowly being enlightened, so we’ve decided to great a style guide of all the pieces we feel are missing from or wardrobe.

Hopefully it will inspire you and help you realize what you are missing in your closet.

      We love it, too! However, J.Crew maxi dresses tend to be a bit long on Adria’s 5’5″ frame, so it definitely needs to be altered. How tall are you? Have you found any brands that have an appropriate length maxi dress? We have yet to find one!
