I try to build my wardrobe around high-quality staple pieces that I can mix and match to create a wide variety of outfits. I previously wrote about how much I love the endless possibilities of the basic white blouse. Another of my favorite staples—which I just happen to be wearing today—is the classic black skirt. If you’re building a frugal wardrobe piece by piece, I highly recommend investing in this versatile item.The basic black skirt is perfectly suited to almost any occasion, regardless of season. It can be beautifully “dressed up” with a sleek satin blouse, elegant scarf, and heels. Pair it with a simple cotton tee, jean jacket, and flats to create a casual, sophisticated everyday outfit. Worn with a wool sweater, textured tights, and structured black heels, the classic black skirt will keep you cozy all winter long. Greet the warmer weather by pairing your basic black skirt with a chic striped tee and sandals. To create the perfect business casual ensemble, partner your skirt with a classic white blouse, jewel-toned blazer, and black leather loafers. Dress it down with a cable-knit hoodie, patterned leggings, and ballet slippers. The possibilities are endless, because black looks great with almost every color!
Like the classic white blouse, a beautiful black skirt will never go out of fashion. Invest in one that’s been well made from high quality materials, and you can wear it for years to come.

I agree so much with your posts about basic clothing. My own personal expierence has been with a black long sleeve tee. I tend to wear long sleeve's all year long (I'm not very stylish, but I am extremely comfortable!). It took me quite a few shopping trips to find the perfect shirt but I only paid $12 for it and have worn it more times than I can count. My favorite look for it is with a blue jean skirt and a link pink shawl! The bonus: my long sleeve tee is light weight so it works even in the heat! The snare: make sure it's a womans i.e. no sleeve cuffs.
