We’ve all done it. We’ve all gone to a store saw that ‘amazing’
piece that we just couldn’t live without, we saw that they had our size and then
bought it without hesitation. We go home, eager to wear the new shirt, pants,
scarf, whatever, only to find that we have nothing that matches with it.
Like,
nothing.
So we make a promise to ourselves. We say, ‘Self, next pay-check you’re
going to buy something to go with this so you can wear it because this piece is
amazing.’ Then we put it to the back of our closet and, essentially, forget
about it or come up with excuse after excuse as to why we can’t buy something
to go with it, or why it wouldn’t be appropriate for whatever event. Then
months later as we’re ripping through the closet for something, anything,
wearable we come across it and curse ourselves for spending the money on a
shirt that is never worn when we could’ve just bought a white tee-shirt instead.
What’s even more annoying about this is when you’re in
college with limited space in your dorm sized closet and it happens. You chose
to take the shirt you need to wear a strapless bra with to wear to class instead of
bringing something trusted and comfortable. This is your own fault, and now you
have nothing to wear and on top of it all you’re now going to be late to class.
So this is where I’m going to save you. This is my list of
essential college, or just in general, pieces that I promise you will wear and you won’t
regret bringing or buying. Here we go.
