top 5 clothing loves by jessica chronicled

Hi guys! I've got a special surprise here for you! The beautiful Jessica behind jessica chronicled is going to show you her go-to style pieces (and boy, are they lovely!). I'm crazy excited about this guest post (think jumping out of my seat and spinning around excited). Jessica's blog is one of my favorites. She has killer style and the cutest since of humor. And she just got a puppy! So, my lovely randomness readers, let me introduce you to Jessica!

Hi Randomness readers! I'm so thrilled to be guest posting here for Addie today! My name is Jessica and I blog over at jessica chronicled. I write a lot about style, photography, faith, and the two loves of my life...my hubby and our new pup. Here, I'm going to share with you a few of the "go-to" pieces in my closet, that is, the pieces that I always turn to when I need to complete an outfit, when I'm not sure what to wear, or that just go with everything.

1. The black lace vest.

The thing I love most about this vest is that it goes with anything, but I guess that's kind of true about all things lace. I can put this over a tshirt, a button up, a dress, or pretty much anything other than sweatshirts and blazers. It can be dressed up for work with a skirt or dressed down for the weekend with some jeans.

2. Tall boots.

In all honesty, those mornings when have class and I don't pick clothes out the night before, I usually end up putting on jeans + these boots and THEN deciding what to pair with them. Basically because I know I can pair them with so much, I just go ahead and put them on. I've worn these so many times the heels are wearing down. I usually wear them to class or for weekends, but I did dress them up with a lace skirt and wear it to church.

3. A pair of pink tights.

I think every lady needs to add at least one pair of colored tights to her wardrobe. I have several colors, but the pink pair is what I wear most often, probably because it's a little less bright. And also, because I love pink. Colored tights are great because 1)They let you wear tights in cooler weather without freezing 2)They add a pop of color to an outfit and 3)Sometimes they save you from having to shave your legs (it's true). I really love pairing them with black and white, but recently I've been a little more daring and paired them with more color. Either way, you can't go wrong.

4. Red peep toes wedges.

If my blog readers had to pick one item that I've worn way too much, I'd bet it would be these red shoes. I'm pretty sure the cost per wear is down to about 10 cents and I'm not done with them yet! The easy thing about these shoes is that they tend to go with so many colors and outfits. Sometimes, I may be not so crazy about my outfit, but after adding these red shoes, it has the pop or personality that it needed. And I definitely don't limit myself to wearing these with black and white, and usually, I don't even have anything else red in my entire outfit. I let these wedges take the stage.

5. A striped sweater in neutral colors.

Having a striped sweater in neutral colors (like black and white) is a wonderful thing. I have a plethora of scarves, and basically I can wear any of them with this sweater and my outfit looks at least a little different than before. And it's completely effortless to throw on this sweater and a scarf, there's no thought process to it. Another thing I love is that this is the easiest wardrobe piece I have to work with pattern mixing. Stripes tend to go with anything. You can pair stripes with polka dots, or plaid, but you can't always pair polka dots and plaid. The basic line pattern goes better with most patterns, and the neutral color scheme allows you to pair it with any color. And as warm weather approaches, you can also change this out for a striped tee or tank.

Well there you have it! My five, most worn pieces in my wardrobe! I hope some of this was helpful to you. Maybe you now have new ideas for how to wear pieces you already own, or maybe you have a better idea of some basic pieces you can add to your wardrobe. And most of these pieces can be found for pretty inexpensive prices. And thanks so much to Addie for having me guest post!

Happy Styling!
