Dear Basics,
I don’t wear you enough. I should but I don’t.
You feel too simple, even dull at times and I often forget you exist whenever a new fashion season rolls in. I get too seduced by the bright and shiny shop windows and endless e-newsletters proclaiming that these are the new must-have items to wear instead of you.
I call you basic but you have other names too.
Far more flattering names like
- ‘staple’,
- ‘classic’
- ‘timeless’
I prefer the last, because when the twinkling excited feeling of having fresh in season design fades, you’re always there to soothe my wardrobe dilemmas like a warm blanket time and time again.
You’re part of that ‘capsule wardrobe’ that I crave to live by but never seem to have. You’re the solid foundation to build on.
The lazy girl’s answer to a quick fashion fix.
So, I’m sorry I don’t appreciate you more basics. Take this as my tribute to you.
