What are the basics for a (new) wardrobe?
Like jeans, a blazer, little black dress etc.
What are your favourite basics?

(sorry for the bad english haha)

I think there may be some other threads about wardrobe buildling and basics here...

My wardrobe is based on:
+ skinny black jeans/pants
+ black, grey, and white t-shirt-style, drapey, or silk shirts -- lots of wang and helmut lang here
+ oversized blazer
+ tiny black leather jacket
+ long black wrap cardigan
+ in the summer, lots and lots of loose sexy jersey racerback tanks (see again, wang. G-DDAMMIT)
+ high waisted black pencil skirts
+ a good pair of ballet flats
+ basic colourful pumps
+ serious heeled black lace-up boot

I am new to posting, so I apologize if this post isn't as eloquent as others.

I am just now reinventing my wardrobe after a major removal of multiple pieces I was no longer using.

Now I am starting with a fresh slate I am a young woman (20) on a budget so I am looking for suggestions to help me build a chic beginners wardrobe that I can build into something glamourous.

What pieces are a must have for a woman my age?

Where do I begin on the path to become a more fashion forward woman?

I am feeling a little overwhelmed.

Thank you for your time and responses.
