Do you have favorites in your closet? Items that you simply cannot stop defaulting to for some strange, unknown reason other than the fact that something about them draws you in like a black hole. I do…and a whole lot of them! Here are just a few of my favorites or go-to pieces:
- Tights. There, I said it. I have an entire drawer full of tights. Living in South Florida, some may say that sounds ridiculous, right? I feel like I can conquer the world, feminine, & sexy when I wear a pair of tights. It’s kind of awesome, and a great self esteem booster. There is nothing I want more than tights. Except shoes…to wear with the tights, haha.
- Shoes. Oh, you didn’t know that little ol’ me has a shoe addiction? Well, let me tell you..and let the Mister, who has dwindling closet space thanks to my shoes taking over, tell you…it’s true. A friend of mine said something to me recently that I couldn’t have said better. “Shoes are amazing. They will always fit, always look pretty, and always make you feel good when you put them on.” There you go. Such an enabler, she is.
- Skirts & Dresses. One of my staple looks is a pretty dress with tights, awesome shoes, and a cardigan. You’d think I would have a closet full of dresses, but I don’t. I wish I did! I have quite a few, don’t get me wrong (thanks to sales, thrifting, ebay and more), but I do have plenty of pants & shirts in there too. Sad I can’t go to work in a dress all the time, but doing theatrical work in a pretty outfit might not be so fun…
- Cardigans. I need more of these in my closet. In fact, I just scored this adorable white British Vogue scalloped cardigan yesterday at the thrift shop. My problem is, I wear them too often, so they get worn out really quick. I think I just need a whole separate area for cardigans.
I am constantly purging from my closet to make room for more fun & exciting items. This is the first time I have over 10 hangers free and waiting to be used!
What are you favorites or go-to items in your closet?
gorgeous shoes!
Right now one of my favorite items is my big ol cozy coat because it’s freezing lately!

I agree with you about everything on this list! Except cardigans, I mean, I love them but I just don’t own a whole lot. I’ve been going on weekly closet purges (#weightlossprobs) and am so sad to see my closet shrinking. But I know that means that new treasures will fill their spaces. My go-to’s at the moment are dark wash jeggings, chambray button down, and a black shirt dress. Can’t get enough out of them!
I agree with all of this. I also have a whole drawer full of socks/tights and this also seems crazy to some being that I live in Australia, but they’re so good… And yes shoes are definitely something I can not get enough of.
I totally have a shoe addiction too. I’m trying to be good this year and NOT add like 20 pairs of shoes in the spring to the collection. haha! It’s bad to the point where guests come over, see all the shoes lined by the door and ask, “So where’s your roommate?” and I have to confess to owning all these shoes. eep!

Those are all my favorite things!!! I love tights especially in the winter. It just automatically makes an outfit look so sophisticated. And of course, I cannot pass up a good pair of shoes. We’re girls! Skirts & dresses makes me feel all girly and pretty. And cardigans are my go-to piece of clothing!!!

At the beginning of high school, I went out and brought 2 cardigans from Old Navy. Then throughout high school, I added 1 or 2 to my collection. When I started college, I was like “Whoa! I have so many cardigans!”
But now that I’m a few years out of college… I think I brought 2 last month. And there’s no signs of stopping.
My leather pants are my favorites right now.
