Invest In The 5 Basics That Will Never Leave Your Wardrobe

It's no secret that investing in quality basics are the key to building a stylish wardrobe. Without versatile clothes, working your favorite statement pieces into an outfit would be nearly impossible! Before trying to seek out the latest trends in retail, do some spring cleaning and assess your resources. Do you own enough clothing that can transition you through the seasons? If not, it may be time to go shopping for these five essential items. Don't underestimate the power of a good basic – these timeless pieces will always look effortlessly chic.

1. Black or White Fitted Sweater

Neutral sweaters are a blank canvas for fabulous coats, bags with a pop of color, or statement necklaces. Opting for a fitted cut pairs excellently with high waisted pants, and will add a level of sophistication to any look. When in doubt, throwing on a basic sweater is guaranteed to pull any outfit together – especially when you're pressed for time.

2. Dark Wash Skinny Jeans

Dark wash skinny jeans are the crown jewel of jeans across all fits and washes. Dressed up or dressed down, this pair of jeans will become your go-to for more occasions than you think. If slipping into well-fitting jeans is practically ingrained in your morning routine, why not make sure you have the best pair to take on the day with confidence?

3. Neutral Coat

Basic colored coats are super convenient because you don't have to worry about whether or not they match the rest of your outfit. They can easily be thrown on to keep you cozy while ensuring that you still look fab.

4. Black Pumps

If you don't have a pair of black pumps, I'm not sure how you made it this far in life... All joking aside, investing in a chic pair of basic black high heels will serve you well for so many events that you're bound to attend. From a long day of work to a party at night, black heels are one of the most versatile pairs of shoes in your closet.

5. White Sneakers

White sneakers are the street style equivalent of black pumps. The right pair of sneakers will actually make a difference in the overall appearance of an outfit, and they will successfully help your wardrobe transition from Winter to Spring.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
