All Black Everything + Back to School Must Haves!

My wardrobe is more bi-polar than the recent weather we've all been experiencing ( Hello, Global Warming! ) Anyways, I go through phases. I'm sure you all can relate. No matter what though, I always end up going back to black. R.I.P Amy Winehouse, you saint. Most of the time I look as though I have just robbed a bank. Beanies and everything. Side note: I'm so excited for fall so I can wear beanies without getting made fun of :( Not that that stops me. Moving on...I feel as though, if you are just starting off trying to completely rebuild your wardrobe, black is always a go to. You can build anything with black.  Now for the unfortunate ( or fortunate ) ones, this time is back to school time! I always looked most forward to this time because it meant new clothes! ( Unless you had to wear the ugly uniforms like I did ) 

SO...I have a few recommendations for you. 

1) The Disco Pants from AA. These babies are pricey but if you take good care of them they will last you forever! Be careful how you wash them. I made the mistake of being lazy with them and now the butt is falling apart. It can be avoided though!

2) Doc Martens. Love/Hate relationship with these guys. I love them because they are beautiful and wonderful and all things lovely. I hate them because they hurt like a bitch to try to break in. Someone recommended jumping in to a hot shower with them on. I may have to try this. 

3) Converse. I don't need to explain these ones. They speak for themselves. Any kind, high top or low top. Black, red, white..go crazy! They are wonderful.

4) Cardigans. Oversized anything and everything! Jumpers, Hoodies, Pullovers, Bunny Hugs..depends where you are from. Either way, oversized sweaters will save your life.

5) Beanies! I could be a true Canadian and call them toques but that is just falling victim to the stereotype. Anywho, get a black beanie and you are set for life. I have more beanies than shorts for when it's summer. That says something about a person. I'm weird.

There you go! Now, I realize everyone has different choices in what they think are must have staples for a wardrobe. These just happen to be mine. They are comfy, and remind me of being cuddled by unicorns.
