Things I Own in Multiples

A few weeks ago, I shared on Instagram stories that a lot of my weekly-wear items in my closet are in multiples. I’m the kind of shopper where, when I find something good, I want it in all the neutral colors. They’re mostly closet basics (think tees and cardigans), since I live in basics. I figure if I like something enough to buy it in more than one color, then it’s worth sharing, right? 
I bought this sleeveless body con dress in grey last year and loved it so much that I picked up black this year. It’s really great for layering – throw a cardigan or moto jacket over it for an effortless, stylish outfit.

These cardigans are a fall/winter staple, if you ask me. They’re just oversized enough, not too hot, and so comfortable.

I love this style of thermal wrap, which is made obvious by the three that I own. They’re fitted in the arms, but still relaxed with the drape-front and hood.

Finding a well-fitting, high quality tee is basically my life’s mission. It’s hard to do, so when I do, I buy it in multiple colors. I’ve been known to have 5+ colors of the same style of tee in my life. Don’t judge. These tees are great because they’re a relaxed fit without being baggy. Plus, I love the pocket!

Another style of tee that I love is this one. They work well to dress up a little bit with booties and a moto jacket.

I basically live in puffer vests in the fall and winter. I love that they keep your core warm but don’t get you overheated (like if you’re wearing a thick cardigan). These are great because they’re thin enough to wear as a permanent part of your outfit. It doesn’t feel like you’re wearing outerwear inside your home, so you can actually build an outfit around them.

Speaking of moto jackets, this suede and this faux leather are so good! My favorite way to wear these is paired with distressed denim and one of those tees above.

More than ever, I’m reaching for leggings when I get dressed in the morning. I love to be comfortable  but still feel put together (aka not in pajamas) while I’m working, so leggings are the perfect compromise. Black is a classic, of course, but I love these grey ones for something a little different.

After leggings, my next great love is a good pair of sneakers 😉 Since a lot of my outfits are athleisure, I find myself reaching for sneakers when I’m heading out the door. Finding a comfortable, well-fitting, and rightly-colored sneaker can be tough, but not with these babies in pink and angora.

A good pair of sneakers that also work really well for working out is another staple in my closet. These are super lightweight and breathable, but provide good support and are just simple enough. The grey go with everything, while I like the pink for a little pop with an all-black workout look.

Confession time: this isn’t even all of the multiples I own 🙈 
They are, however, the most-worn items in my closet, so that’s gotta count for something!

    I am the same way! When I find something I really like, I always get more than one! It just makes sense to me…
