13 Easy Pieces to Kickstart Your Spring 2016 Wardrobe

If the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, then the journey of a seasonal wardrobe probably begins with one key purchase. Fun, silly seasonal items are great, but for most women (and definitely for me), the key to getting out of the house in the morning and feeling good while doing it belongs to the not-so-basic foundational pieces in my closet that I absolutely love.

Whether it’s a perfect pair of white jeans, ultra-glam oversized sunglasses or a bag in the ideal shade of blush, having pieces you can return to again and again makes getting dressed in the morning much less tricky. Below, we’ve assembled a baker’s dozen of spring’s best wardrobe foundations; whether it’s a casual crystal necklace or a surprisingly wearable denim bag, we think you can’t go wrong with any of them.
