Mischka’s 10 things every girl should have in their closet

Here are what I think is a must have in every girl’s closet =) And if you don’t already own one of these, you have committed a serious fashion crime! Time to update your closet..

1. The perfect pair of fitted jeans. Jeans go with almost anything and everything. Get a pair of jeans that fit your figure best, try various types of jeans in color (dark, light, faded) and cuts (boot leg, straight, low waist, etc..) before purchasing.

2. The classic black dress. A fashion must! If you don’t have one, get one! Look for a black dress that is simple, stylish and elegant at the same time, nothing too flashy. Whether it’s for a formal or semi-formal event, it’s perfect and you don’t have to over accessorize. keep it simple. I usually find some really cute black dresses at Zara, Forever 21 (see the dress in ‘Coco’s valentine’s guide’ post) and www.mydressroom.com.my


3. Black heels or pumps. They can not only be worn with professional/work or formal outfits, but with dressy outfits as well. They even look great with casual outfits, wear them with straight cut jeans or jeans with a lil flare (I’m not talking Elvis Presley flare here ppl, lol), jeans that are a little bit longer, that covers a little bit of the heel, so when you wear it, it makes your legs look longer.
Willing to spend on shoes? Aldo, Zara, and www.shoesshoesshoes.com.my
Girl on a budget? Élo (bangsar), Vincci and Nose


4. Plain black or white fitted t-shirt or tank top, nothing can go wrong. They work well with jeans or mini skirts. They are simple and it’s ok to go a little bit heavy when accessorizing. But, I don’t mean putting on too many accessories! More of big or chunky looking accessories. haha.
Places to get? Topshop, and Zara. I wouldn’t really suggest 21, I bought one from there and after a few washes it got really lose. Get something that would last you a few years at least.


5. Bathing suit or bikinis you feel great and comfortable in. If you are the body conscious type, better to buy a bathing suit than a bikini. It’s better to wear what you feel comfortable in, if you feel confident, you’ll look great. Although bikini’s are great, try to stay away from the overly skimpy bikini’s. No.. I do not wanna see your boobs that are about to fall out or your ass, or even half of it (you might as well go naked).
Willing to spend? Roxy
Girl on a budget? Beach (1 utama and bangasar village II)

6. Bra/ Lingerie. Yes, of course every girl owns one. It’s a necessity for every girl/ woman out there. I have seen some woman with bras that don’t fill their boobs and are practically spillin out of their bras, which can be seen over their tops, a sight I hope I never see again. Spend and buy a good quality bra that fits you well. As Coco said, don’t over spend on lingerie that makes no sense, like those really expensive transparent lingerie. I mean, that much for that little cloth? Haha.. It’s ok if you’re working and earning a lot.

7. Big handbags. Love em =) Again as in my previous post, we all love big bags but do stay away from bags that are 5 times your size (see picture in my previous post). 

I love skin bags. If you love em too, a shop sells really nice ones, Élo in bangsar.



8. White button down shirt can be worn casually with jeans or formally. It’s simple, great for semi casual events, or work . For college students, it will be useful for presentations. Best to get the cotton ones, nicely cut and fitted well ones.


9. Hoodies. Everyone loves a good hoodie. They keep you warm from the chill. Do get those with zipper’s in the front though, the ones that make your body look flattering. Not the oversized ones without zipper’s.
They could be useful for those in college. I’ve seen some cute hoodies in ‘Pull and Bear’.

Do
Don't


10. A hot after hours top for those nights you feel like partying with your girlfriends. Or looking to grab a guy’s attention? Every girl needs one of this top once in awhile =P Something eye catching but not too flaunty.. Here are a few ideas.

When it comes to the items above, I say spend a little more money than you usually would on clothes, by buying in stores that sell good quality and fabulous clothes of course =P cause these are things that you may use very often.

Think about it.. Would you rather buy a lower quality item for a cheaper price that would only last you for awhile and would probably keep buying over again, or spend a little more on a quality item that would last you longer?




Keep it simple,

Mischka

to westwood,
that's my opinion! lol.. to me, they look kinda try hard hip hop, haha.. i'm just not a fan =P

to coco,
no, we have the same one, i think my material is a lil bit thinner, so dun get those thin ones! but i do have a thicker one as well in another colour, didn't really stretch, but still dun quite like the material.. i think that maybe the topshop ones are better. hmm.. time to get one, haha..

to readers,
if your buying from forever 21 get the thicker cotton ones, hopefully they'll last longer than mine did =) otherwise, i think the topshop T's have a better material..

luv,
Mischka
