Four Timeless Closet Staples
My Sizing: I’m 4’10” and my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 32″, 24″ and 36″. My typical inseam is 24-25″. The clothes shown are unaltered and show how they fit me right from the store. I list my sizing beside each item to help you compare when shopping online.
Black Wrap Dress
A wrap dress in any neutral color is a great closet staple, but you can’t beat the versatility of a little black dress. This dress from Lilysilk is 100% Crepe De Chine Silk, so it’s breathable and lightweight. You can wear this dress to work with a pair of flats and throw a sweater over your shoulders, or dress it up with a pair of heels. I’m wearing it in a size 2 and find the fit to be petite-friendly overall. My typical size is a size 0 so I would say this dress runs small. The wrap style makes it easy to adjust to your size and I love the length and full skirt. This dress is unlined and is a true wrap style so I added a black slip underneath. I also added a temporary tack to keep the top closed with this tool.

Tailored Black Pants
Black pants in a classic straight fit are always a great staple to have in your wardrobe. If you happen to have a pair that has been tailored to your size – even better! Lilysilk offers size customization on some of their items so I had these pants customized to my size. The guide was easy to follow as far as getting the right measurements and the pants have a spot-on fit. Customization is an extra $30 per piece, but you can’t beat the custom fit! The pants have functional buttons on each side and are well-made with light comfortable stretch.

White Blouse
A white button-down top is a versatile choice that can be worn so many ways. I love a classic cotton top, but this silk top elevates any outfit. I went for a simple combination with the black pants in this post, but you can wear a silk top with jeans, skirts, and shorts as well. The top in this post is soft, beautiful, and not sheer. It has an oversized fit, so you may want to size down, I’m wearing it in XXS here.

Crewneck Sweater
A crewneck sweater in a neutral color is a closet staple that will take you through every season. I love the warmth of a camel crewneck, but white and black are other great choices. You can wear a crewneck sweater on its own, but it also layers over collared shirts and can be worn over your shoulders and under jackets. The sweater in this post is cashmere, so it’s definitely an investment. I’m wearing it in the smallest size that it comes, size small, and it is oversized on me.
