Some girls like to go all the way in when choosing an outfit. They check the latest trends online to figure out what to buy and wear for the next couple of months. Me on the other hand? I like to buy staple pieces. Things I can mix and match, not only today, but in 20 years too.

I like the fact that I can open my closet and pick anything and everything looks nice when mixed together.

Oh, the magic of basics!

A couple of staple pieces and one or two cool items to give a little extra touch to the outfit, and I'm good to go.

Here is my must-have list of basic items:

1. Plain white/black tees

You should have plain tees in as many colors as possible, but black and white are a must!

2. Striped tee

They add a little twist to plain tees, and they look extremely cute when you personalize them with pins. Have fun with it!

3. Jean jacket

I LOVE jean jackets. They make a dress look more casual, a plain tee look cooler and they look amazing when you tie them around you waist.

Ripped, with pins, cropped, dark or light. Jean jackets are the way to go.

4. Black blazer

If you're looking for a piece to make your day-outfit seem more like a night-out-outfit, you need a black blazer. They make any outfit look fancier and it's always good to have one in your closet in case you have a last-minute presentation or interview.

5. Black leggings

Leggings ARE pants. Don't try to argue with me because I won't change my mind. They are more comfortable, look better on your body and match any type of shoe.

I recommend getting a couple of black ones just because you can mix them with any shirt or jacket easier.

6. Go-to jeans

No explanation needed here. Name someone you know who doesn't own at least one pair of jeans, I'll wait...

7. White sneakers

White sneakers have the capacity of pulling a whole outfit together. They make you look cute in a I-didn't-even-try type of way.

8. Ballet flats

Ballet flats are the type of shoe that makes you look so girly and cute, but simple at the same time. Plus, they are super comfortable and look good with jeans, skirts, dresses, fancy pants, shorts...

9. Belt

A good belt is a must have. But a cute one? It can be the perfect twist for the perfect outfit.

Get at least one and thank me later.

10. Black dress

Need to go out but don't have time to figure out your outfit? Little black dress!

Mix these and add a cool jacket or purse and you got yourself a cool outfit.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
