Glamazons,
As we embark on a new year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your life and, erm, CLOSET. Yes, your closet needs a revamp for the new year to rid yourself of trendy pieces you never wear and replenish closet staples.
Is your wardrobe ready for the new year? Here are a few staples that every Glamazon should have going into 2014.
1. Black Dress
Every woman should have a little black dress (more than one actually). A black dress can work for every occasion A black wrap dress is perfect for the office. A strapless black dress would work for a date, or a night out with your girls.
2. White Button Down Blouse
Solange once said she had a closet full of white button down blouses. She swears by them. Can you blame her? A blouse adds a touch of class to your look. I suggest stocking up on a few (I’m accident prone so stains are inevitable).
3. Pencil Skirt
Pencil skirts aren’t considered work wear anymore. The form-fitting number can work for almost any occasion and transcends from season to season.
4. Colorful Cardigan
Take a cue from First Lady Michelle Obama and add a bright-colored cardigan to your look. They’re surprisingly versatile and can cover up every look from a fancy dress to a tank and boyfriend jeans.
5. A Black Blazer
A tailored black blazer is classic and chic. The key with blazers is finding the right fit. It literally can be paired with anything whether jeans or a dress.
6. Red Pumps
Red pumps are the perfect punch of color to brighten up an otherwise drab look. Since they can be paired with so many different combinations from black and white to navy and even yellow, they’re the most versatile colored pumps you can have in your shoe collection.
7. A Statement Shoe

Once you have your traditional black pump and your red pump for a pop of color, it’s time to have a bit of fun. Every Glamazon needs a bold pair of heels to strut in. Pick up a pair that demands attention.
8. Leopard

Leopard this, leopard that! Whether it’s a blouse, pumps, or a purse, leopard just has to be a part of your wardrobe. It’s fun and a bit daring. Don’t worry about how to style it; this print works with anything. Haven’t you heard leopard is the new neutral?!
9. Leather
Leather dresses and skirts are a must-have in every Glamazon’s closet. The pieces will work for every season. Plus every girl needs something edgy.
10. A Pair of Flats
I know it’s hard to believe but heels won’t work for every event. When traveling to and fro, or just for a casual outing or day running errands, a pair of flats are the perfect style choice. And let’s face it ladies, sometimes our feet just need a break.

Glamazons, I don’t know about you but I need to buy several items on this list. I plan to start with a pair of flats. What staples are you replenishing in your closet for 2014?
Fashionably yours,
Glamazon Jamiese
I’ve got to replace my flats – I’m good on everything else on your list.
BTW – Look #5 (Black Blazer) I totally own a pink leather skirt. Don’t know why I haven’t thought to style it like that yet. Letting u know in advance I’m copying that look!!!
OMG feel free to rock it and I want to see a pic! Wow at only needing new flats, I’m so bad about basics I need most of the staples on this list. Waiting until more sales to stock up though. Thx for stopping by love! x
