I know there are some basic guidelines for building the perfect wardrobe, but I've never focused on curating a balanced closet, but instead added pieces that I could mix and remix repeatedly. From a slouchy white tee that goes with everything, to the flats I’ve worn both to the farmers’ market and date nights, here are the clothes, jewelry, bags and shoes that I consider my closet mainstays and where you can find them (or similar alternatives).
