Am I being a fashion addict? Lately I’ve been browsing for fashionable clothes more often than usual. I figured I need a good set of wardrobe by the time I fly back to the US. And clothes here are way cheaper than in the States. I’ve been drooling over dresses although I couldn’t think of any event where I would wear it. My sister told me that it’s better to have them handy than cram looking for one when something comes up. So in a way these are good investments. Though it can get addicting to find those perfect pieces!
So here are the basic things I should buy or must have in my closet:
1. Little black dress – a girl can never have too many of this dress. I’m going to have one tailored for me.You can never go wrong with a black dress. I’m looking for something stylish but can still be appropriate for me even when I get older like in the early thirties. 
2. Black satin pump – to go with my dresses. And it should have very high but comfortable heels. This shoes will go with any dress and can instantly make the dress look formal and glitzy.
3. Little red dress – being Chinese, we are often requested to wear red dresses in parties. I just have one made and it’s really nice. Can’t wait to wear it!
4. One-shoulder dress – I super heart this dress style. It’s so edgy and sexy. The design never gets old and boring.
5. High waist skirt - this is a fun clothing piece that can go from day to night. It can be matched with any blouse and can instantly make one very fashion-forward.
6. Clutch bag – black and silver. These colors can go with any clothes and it completes an outfit perfectly. A chanel 2.55 bag is a classic winner too. 
7. Gladiator sandals – summer’s must have. It is so stylish and very laid-back fashion sandals that can go with any casual clothes. I’m torn between white and black.
According to Tim Gunn the 10 essential elements you need to have in the wardrobe are:
1. Basic Black Dress
2. Trench Coat
3. Dress Pants
4. Classic Shirt
5. Jeans
6. Any Occasion Top
7. Skirt
8. Day Dress
9. Jacket
10. Sweatsuit Alternative – I’ll cross this one out because I believe it’s really not flattering to wear sweatsuits.
