Hello friends! Today you are all in for a real treat as I somehow suckered Natalie from Designer Bags and Dirty Diapers to share her 7 wardrobe essentials!
Natalie is the full on I-kind-of-hate-you package. She’s beautiful, her home is beautiful, she looks good in everything – probably even work out clothes, and she can cook! Yeah- like I said, I kind of hate her. 😉 But seriously I can’t remember when I fell down the rabbit hole at her blog, but oh what an adventure it has been ever since! She’s always dishing up the goods – passing along great deals- and quite often making me wanna bust out my credit card. Without further adieu……….

Hello Fifth House Readers! I‘m Natalie from Designer Bags and Dirty Diapers and I am so excited to be helping Carmel out with this amazing series! In no specific order here are what I consider the 7 things all women need in their closet!
ONE:
A GREAT FITTING PAIR OF SKINNY JEANS
My all time favorite skinny jeans are Rag and Bone Skinny Jeans in Kensington wash. I can’t live without them! They suck you in all the right places!
Even my style icon Gwyneth Paltrow has them!
TWO:
NUDE PUMPS
Nude pumps go with anything and everything. They look great with jeans and dresses, so versatile. I love this Micheal Kors version.
THREE:
A BIG FABULOUS TOTE
As a mommy to a little one I always need a huge purse to stash all my stuff in. Your purse can be hot mess but you still look chic if you are carrying a great purse.
This is my personal collection of big fabulous totes:)
FOUR:
A FEMININE BLOUSE
I am a blouse hoarder. They are my favorite item to buy so of course I feel like all women should own a super feminine blouse! They can really dress up jeans and make a pulled together outfit. Rebecca Taylor, Joie, and Diane Von Furstenberg make the best blouses!
I am lusting after this Joie Blouse for Spring.
FIVE:
A GREAT SLIP
I love to wear dresses but there is nothing I hate more than seeing bulges and underwear lines. All women should own a great slip. I wear my Spanx one all the time.
SIX:
STATEMENT NECKLACE
A statement necklace is the best piece of jewelry you can own. It can dress up even the dullest outfit. I love to wear a casual tee shirt and a fun necklace.
I adore this Adia Kibur one, it would go with everything!
SEVEN:
A MAXI DRESS
Last but not least I think everyone needs a Maxi Dress. They are chic in the winter with a cool blazer or leather jacket and perfect in the Summer. Effortlessly chic!
