Let us start out by saying that there should be no shame in buying a

mini sequined halter dress

or

yeti-feathered over-the-knee boots

if such pieces speak to you—move you. However, things that most of us deem practical—a crisp button-down, a classic pair of pumps, a go-with-everything pair of jeans—are always a smart purchase. They’re generally easy to mix and match for simple, polished looks, and you’re likely to get much more wear out of them than statement pieces (i.e., a sequined mini dress).

In the spirit of helping you

get your sh*t together

, here are 15 practical pieces to add to your wardrobe.

A Standard Button-Down

A Casual T-Shirt

A Nice Pair Of Pumps

A Go-With-Everything Pair of Jeans

A Great Everyday Bag
