You don't have to brainstorm much about what to wear! Here are basic pieces of clothing that you can mix and match pretty much with anything. You can go casual, classy, sexy. It's up to you. They work well with the rest of your wardrobe, and they will go well with any new additions you might have.

A white shirt is a piece that can save your day. You can go casual with jeans, sexy with black pants or ready for a night on the town with a mini-skirt.

V-neck sweaters in any color will always be a good thing to have in your closet.

Straight cut jeans pants: you can't live without them!

Black pants can go anywhere with you: to the office, to a happy hour, to the movies, and even to that hockey game.

A black jacket is as important as the air you breathe...and I'm not kidding. I'm sure you have one already...

A zippered jacket is a nice complement to any outfit...especially in a neutral tone like gray.

The black skirt...that's a classic. You should have at least three: one mini-skirt, one knee-length, and a long one.

A black dress is absolutely essential. You can wear a jacket on top and make it very classy, or you can wrap one of those twin-set sweaters around your neck and make it more casual. Either way, it is a must-have.

And the winner is: the white t-shirt. This is the single most essential piece in any wardrobe. I don't need to list the ways in which you can use it, right? You probably figured them out by yourself anyways...
