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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
