Y'all I am SO excited about this post!!! This is TCC's first EVER guest post and I couldn't be happier! (I hope to continue featuring bloggers that I like from time-to-time.) I came across the South of Yankee blog spot a few months ago and fell in love with Amanda's posts. Here is one of my favorite outfit posts by her (love!). I reached out to her, and boy am I thrilled she was kind enough to write a guest post!
Not only was she pleasant and easy to work with, her post was downright perfect! Simple, classic essentials are a must that every woman should invest in her wardrobe. Amanda pretty much hit the nail on the head for closet staples that should already be hung in your closet!! Never underestimate the power of fundamental outfit basics.

Six Closet Staples
Guest post by Amanda Jayne
Top six closet staples every girl needs! Building out a wardrobe can be a daunting task, it is easy to get swept up in the trendy one-time buys and forget to create a foundation for your looks. Here are my top 6 must-buys for wardrobe success.
Structured Coat: Unless you live in an area with perfect weather 24/7 a coat is typically a must have. Purchase something that compliments your shape and has a timeless look. A well structured trench is always a great buy.
Neutral Bag: We carry our lives in our bags so make sure you buy something of quality. Look for a medium size, self-standing purse, this will keep all your belongings in order. Shoot for a neutral color for your everyday bag - indulge in fun colors/prints for your clutches or crossbodys that can be used for special occasions.
LBD: This is a given, every magazine from the beginning of time has instructed us to purchase a good little black dress. My suggestion, find one that can go from desk to drinks. This will keep your look sleek and put together day or night.
Jeans: I have to say a good pair of jeans it the best investment you can make in your wardrobe. Like most, jeans are the #1 item when getting dressed. Find a brand you love and stick to it. I love J.Brand Jeans, perfect fit for me! This is also an item I would suggest getting altered to fit like a glove, it is worth it trust me!
Heels: A nude pump could be your best friend. Not only does this shoe go with just about everything, the nude tone elongates your legs making you look taller! Its a win-win.
White Oxford Shirt: This crisp clean look is perfect as a layer or even on its own. Timeless to say the least, the white oxford shirt is a must. Pair with a blazer, jeans and heels - perfect for a night out.
