Basic Necessities.

There are  certain things I think every woman should own. Just because at some point in her life- she will come across a situation she will need them....

First let's go with the classics.

Jewellery
*A set of  pearls. Necklace and earrings in whatever style she likes. I personally own a baseline Just around the base of the neck) necklace and a set of pearl stud earrings. I also have a cage of 4  my sister gave me along with aforementioned earrings and I LOVE them. They are simple, elegant, and classic. Most girls in the South gets their first string of pearls when they turn Sweet 16 for that exact reason.
*At least one statement piece of Turquoise and silver jewelry of her choice. It pairs well with casual wear such as jeans and a casual top as well as wearing well with a business suit. I personally am still looking for my piece.
* A solitaire gemstone in the setting of her choice-either a ring, necklace, bracelet, or earrings. Perhaps a set of any combination or all of the set. Some women prefer Diamonds, some prefer other precious stones such as Sapphires, or Rubies, or Emeralds. Some ladies prefer semi-precious stones such as Amethyst or Topaz, or maybe they prefer Opals or Pearls or Onyx. Whatever their preference- that's what they should choose to have.

Clothing
*An LBD. Also LBPS. For those of us who are a bit behind in the times, an LBD=Little Black Dress & LBPS=Little Black Pant Suit. I have both. I also have them in Navy Blue. I pair the LBPS with a white or cream top(I have both) or in the winter I will sometimes pair them with a Black turtleneck.
*Blue Jeans and a white tee shirt. Dont hand me any line about after a certain age women shouldn't wear jeans-I call BS.
*A pair of LOUNGING pajamas. Whatever  style and texture you like. I personally like a fuzzy fluffy fleece set for winter and a silky set for warmer months. Some ladies like pure cotton. To each their own. The idea is to have a set you are UBER comfortable in to lounge around and relax.
*An outfit that flatters your figure and makes you feel like a MILLION BUCKS. It could be for dinner out- for a party- for going to the club or for a job interview. Just just have to have it.
* A Valkyrie Outfit. It's the outfit you wear when you want to feel invincible and bulletproof. This outfit could be anything from an LBD to a RED Body-con dress or a black leather outfit. or a hot bikini. I wouldn't advise wearing that one to an office meeting tho. Or maybe you would- who knows. You be YOU.
*A long flowing dress.  Every woman needs one for those scorching summer days.

Shoes
Okay this may be debatable. But please keep in mind I am putting a BASICS list together.
*A white or cram pair of heels.
*A black or grey pair of heels.
*A Navy pair of court pumps
*A Pair of RED heels
*A pair of white or black sneakers/trainers
*A pair of Western boots
*A pair of Sandals- some women like Gladiators, some like Birkenstock, some like Flip-flops(altho I wouldn't consider them sandals, per se.)
*A pair of house slippers.

Cosmetics
* A pressed powder compact, mascara and lippy colour of your choice. Also a QUALITY set of nail clippers and a pair of Revlon Tweezers.

Cook-wear
I know there is a LOT of stuff out there to choose from, but the most important things for a kitchen are...
*A Cast Iron Skillet.
*A good set of knives
*A good set of Saucepans
*A coffeepot
*A toaster
Everything else is negotiable.
Small Appliances I would  suggest as basic additions besides the toaster and coffeemaker would be a slow cooker and microwave. Possibly an Air fryer too. Time savers, stress savers, (and waist savers, too).

Furniture
*A Bed & TWO bedside tables
*A small sofa
*A dresser or chest of drawers
*Either a Small dining table or a coffee table suitably big for casual dining
*A Vanity/Dressing table
*A Bookshelf or Display Unit.

Misc...
*A Passport
*A Bank account in her own name
*A Driving License
*A way to make money and be independent
*A small tool kit. Hammer- Flat head and Phillips head screwdrivers, a small hacksaw and an adjustable wrench to start off with.
*An Emergency Cash envelope with a hundred pounds/Dollars in it that is IMMEDIATELY accessible at any time of day or night without having to stop at a cash-point.

Most Importantly
*At least ONE friend who is more like a sister than a friend.
