HOT STORIES ACROSS XONECOLE

Fashion photographer and original gangster Bill Cunningham once said:

"Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life."

Your style speaks for you before you ever introduce yourself.

As girl bosses, it is our job to make sure that our style staples exude confidence, strength, and distinction. Though women are intrinsically stylish and we find a way to make things our own, women of the melanated persuasion kick it up a notch with all types of sass and class.

No matter your style, every woman needs full-proof pieces that will withstand time and the evolution of trends. While you may think your 20-somethings won't end, they will. And you need to be ready!

We found one of our favorite humans dripping in all of the perennial pieces a girl needs in her wardrobe. Lifestyle blogger, Kyrzayda Rodriguez, has a true passion for passion. She provides us beautiful content through on blog, Kyrzayda.com weekly. Her story is beyond inspiring and her transparency is humanizing. Above all, this woman promotes self-love and enjoying the skin you're in. Dressing the part is a testament to that.

Check out the indefinite classic items you need in your closet by the time you turn 30 by clicking through the gallery below:

1.Elegant blazer

Blazers are a quick way to make any look stylish. This velvet number is quite alluring.

2.Ballet flats

You can dress ballet flats up or down. Most importantly, they are essential for a career look.

3.Classic pumps

No matter the color or style, pumps will always be a pillar of a woman's wardrobe. The versatility is unmeasurable as you can rock them with everything.

4.Authentic leather handbag

Leather material is everlasting and a leather bag can instantly add a grown woman vibe to your outfit.

5.Tailored suit

Our girl, Kyrzayda, bossed up with her version of the tailored suit. But you can get a nice suit from T.J. Maxx or Express and take it to your local seamstress to make it just right for you.

6.Diamond earrings

If you want a clean look, invest in diamond earrings.

7.A white blouse

A nice blouse can go a long way. Pair it with a pencil skirt or high-waisted pants and you are good to go.

8.The trench coat

The weather can play a major role in your style. When the weather is cooler, be sure to have a long trench coat in your closet.

9.Little black dress

There's nothing sexier than a woman in a little black dress. You can never go wrong wearing an LBD on a date or for a night on the town with the girls.

10. A nice watch

Accessories can make or break an outfit. With a nice watch, you are sure to look and feel like the boss you are.

11. A white tee

There is nothing more classic than a white tee. Dem Franchise Boyz even made a super popping song about it. Style it up with some flashy boots or kill it with some sneakers.

12. Denim jacket

I love a good denim jacket because it is multi-purpose and you can find really vintage jackets at the thrift store.

13. Moto jacket

Motorcycle jackets give you an edgy appeal like no other jacket. Throw it over your shoulders and you will look as chic as any fashion blogger.

14. Classic white button down

You especially need a classic white button up before you turn 30 because it is the pinnacle of fashion. They are perfect for interviews making for a polished look.

15. Striped shirt

Having a striped shirt in your drawer means that you are ready for whatever. The pattern ordains a clean but fun vibe.

16. Statement jacket

What better way to make a statement than with a fly ass coat?

17. The perfect pair of jeans

The good thing about perfect fitting jeans is that you can find them in different styles. Opt for a pair of bell-bottom jeans like Kyrzayda or get super comfy with a pair of boyfriend jeans. With places like Old Navy and Fashion Nova at your fingertips, there's no excuse not to have this staple.

18. Black pants

Black will never go out of style. Black pants will also never let you down. They are an essential career staple and they are a great addition to an all-black outfit.

19. Booties

You have to love a good pair of booties. The intentionality of booties transcends different styles.

20. Lace bra

Lace bra = grown as f*ck. When you see a woman in a lace bra, you know she has her ish together.

21. Midi skirts

Midi skirts give just the right amount of pizazz in any setting.

22. White sneakers

Virtually the most casual yet classic staple, white sneakers are immortal for what they do for your wardrobe.

23. Everyday tote

If you are a woman on the go, you most definitely need a tote that can hold your work and beauty goodies.

24. Cat eye sunglasses

We all love donning sunglasses for those late night runs to Target. They are so necessary to have for any function serving as a faultless accessory.

25. Wide brim hat

For those bad hair days, you need a wide brim hat on ready.

26. Single-strap stiletto sandal

This has to be one of my favorite staples because I wear them with almost every look. Single strappies provide a simple yet elemental appearance.

27. Duster coats

Duster coats will have you queening the streets of your city. They are perfect for the fall months.

28. Silk scarf

No need to steal your mom's silk scarf - get your own!

29. The perfect bathing suit

Shopping for the perfect bathing suit can be a nightmare but once you find "the one," you are made.

30. Power dress

In any case of your job or career, as a woman, you need a power dress to show everyone that you mean business without sacrificing your personality.
