7 Must Have Wardrobe Essentials

There are certain items that every woman must have in her closet. If the man of your dreams calls for a date, are you prepared? If you get a call for an interview for your dream job, are you prepared?

These are the 7 must have essentials for every woman's wardrobe.

1. The Perfect Black Dress. Every woman needs that black dress that fits her like a glove. However, though the dress is a perfect fit, it should also be very classy. The dress would be perfect for a last minute Christmas party or even a banquet for co worker's retirement. Black is a flattering color on any figure, a win - win situation for any occasion!

2. The Tailored Business Suit. Nothing says "I mean business" louder than a woman in a business suit tailored to fit her curves. Whether you are in the boardroom or interviewing for the position, the tailored business suit is always the way to go.

3. Blazer/Short Jacket. Blazers can save allot of time on those morning that your have either overslept or your laundry basket is overflowing. A maxi dress or sundress may not fit your company's dress code if worn alone, but pair it with a blazer and you are in business! Blazers are also great when you have to make one outfit work for you all day long. Perhaps you are having drinks after work but will not have time to change, pair your blazer with a cut cami and some slacks. When quitting time hits, shed your cami and say hello to the night life!

4. Tailored White Shirt. One classic piece is the tailored white shirts. This shirt can be worn casually or dressed up for church or work. You can pair the shirt with a skirt or pair of slacks for the office. You can slip into it on the weekend to meet a friend for a movie and pair it with your favorite jeans.

5. Jeans that compliment your body. The days of stiff Lee and Jordache jeans are long over. There are several brands and cuts of denim out there to choose from. Every woman needs at least three pair of jeans. A pair for going out (usually skinny jeans), a pair for casual wear (think boyfriend jeans) and a pair to wear for business casual (think trouser jeans).

6. Strapless Bra. No one wants to have on the perfect dress and have to tuck straps all night long. We have all seen ladies wearing beautiful dresses only to frown when we see their bra peeking thru. Every woman needs a GOOD supportive strapless bra. Just because your bust is small, don't think you don't need support. Small puppies can hang low also. J

7. Thong or nude underwear. We all wear white pants, shorts, skirts and dresses. Why embarrass yourself with visible panty lines? Invest a few pairs of thong or invisible nude underwear. You will thank us later. J
