15.

You may be wondering... what is the significance of the number 15? 15 is the number of pieces that every woman should have in their closet, in order for it to be considered "well-rounded."

It is incredibly hard to control impulse purchases. I am one hundred percent guilty of buying something that I want, without thinking of how it will pair with items I already own. This is the #1 mistake we make when shopping and is the #1 contributing factor as to why we as women feel as though we have nothing to wear when planning outfits!

I like to make a list in my phone of items that I know I need to make my clothing collection more well rounded, as well as the staple items I know I do not own but need. This not only keeps me from impulse shopping, but also keeps me on a budget, so that I know what I can in fact afford to buy. At this very moment, my list includes some Tory Burch flats, both a wrap dress and midi dress, nicer skinny jeans, a leather jacket, and a few other items! My goal is to check off some of these items with Christmas coming up. Wink, wink Mom and Grandma.

Below you will find The CWS's list of wardrobe staples that every woman should have in her closet. Remember: These pieces are considered staples because they will go with almost anything you have in your closet, and work for multiple settings and occasions. If you find yourself thinking, "Woah, I actually don't own that," maybe now is time for you to invest!

But, my recommendation to you... is to only spend money on the wardrobe staples that you know you will get the most use out of, that fit your lifestyle the best, and that are high quality products. After all, these are items are not going out of style any time soon, so if they aren't going to last you a long time, what's the point in spending your hard earned money on them?
