Now that I’ve fully organized every other part of my house during my spare time, I’m finally ready to conquer my closet. But before I do, I’m reassessing my shopping habits because somehow I always end up purchasing pieces that look almost identical to each other. (You don’t even want to know how many white button-downs I own.) One way I want to do this is by looking through my saved tab when I have the itch to shop. If I start noticing a trend of what I’m saving, then I’ll start searching for products that I’m gravitating toward.

Right now, I noticed that I have a ton of inspiration saved from one of my favorite fashion girls, Emelie Lindmark aka Emitaz, and for obvious reason. The London-based fashion girl’s style is the perfect combination of classic and on-trend, which is exactly what I’m looking to incorporate into my wardrobe for the upcoming season. Luckily for me, I was able to get in touch with the style-setter who showed me her favorite pieces from PAIGE’s newest collection she had the chance to shoot before quarantine. From comfy pants I can lounge in on the weekend to a camel-colored sweater that I want to pull on for Monday-morning Zoom meetings, here are the four pieces I’m adding to my wardrobe.

Wide-Leg Pants

I’ve been ready to trade in my sweats for a few weeks now, so a pair of wide-leg pants in a blush tone fits the bill. I love how Emelie styled hers with these PAIGE block-heel sandals and a basic white tank.

Pretty Pink Tops

Like I said, I own way too many white button-downs, so a pink blouse is a much-needed and refreshing must-have for me this season. What I love about this PAIGE top is that I can style it with the wide-leg pants from the look above, and I can also wear it with a pair of jeans when we're able to leave our homes.

Camel-Colored Sweaters

Another basic I have too many of? Sweaters. I'll admit: Over the years, the sweaters I’ve purchased haven't been of the highest quality, so this camel-colored classic from PAIGE is a much-needed addition. And yes, even if I'm hanging out in the house, I’ll be wearing these open-toe heeled mules for dinner on a Friday night.

White Ankle Boots 

I’m a huge fan of all-black outfits, especially if I can wear a pair of white ankle boots with them. While I do own my fair share of ankle boots, I do need a style that will take me into warmer weather once temps start heating up. These boots from PAIGE have become a classic, and trust me when I say, everyone needs them.
