HELLO... its been a while hasn't it! If you know us I'm sure you know how hectic it always is at The Closet Queen, and finding the time to sit down and write a blog isn't always at the top of my to do list! But we've got so much gorgeous stuff instore and online... I need to share it with you all!

Since it's been so long, let me introduce myself. I'm Leah, if you've visited us in store you may have seen me hiding away on the laptop, I do the marketing and social media for The Closet Queen alongside Claire. If there's anything you'd like to see more of on our social media, let us know in the comments - we're always open to suggestions! 

Anyway, enough rambling! Today I wanted to talk to you about our brilliant basics. We're still in that in-between weather where you're not quite sure what to put on (at least we saw the sun for 1 day!) so hopefully you can get a little bit of inspo from this!

Speaking of in-between weather, how cold has it been this week! This Light Fleece Top is perfect for layering and guess what, it's only 14 quid! I'd throw a hoodie and leggings on for a super comfy chill day but they equally look as nice with jeans if you want to feel a bit more put together. Available in 4 colours and fits sizes 14 to 24. 

New in this week, inspired by our best selling Wilma Dress is the Wilma T-Shirt! Made from a gorgeous soft cotton fabric it features an adjustable tie at the waist that can be pulled in tighter to create a beautiful silhouette. This one will be a really versatile piece in your spring wardrobe - paired with jeans for an everyday look, or even pulled slightly off the shoulder and paired with our Babycham Leggings for evening drinks. Available in 7 colours and fits sizes 14 to 22.

If you prefer dresses, this ones for you. The Bounce Cuff Sleeve Dress is a material we're absolutely loving - it feels like a real premium fabric but it's just £26! Again this is a real versatile piece you'll definitely get your wear out of - Claire paired hers with our bestselling Queenie Jeans and also with our Soft Feel Leggings. In the spring time pair with bare legs, trainers and a denim jacket for a on trend look (when we eventually see the sun again!) Available in 4 colours and fits sizes 12 to 20. 

Now I couldn't write a blog about our brilliant basics without mentioning a co-ord - and you're in luck, we've got plenty to chose from! We love a co-ord at The Closet Queen - a whole outfit you can throw on without thinking and you're guaranteed to look stylish (it's a no brainer!) The Liney Hoody Co-ord is new in this week and it's one of our faves! The whole outfit is so soft and comfortable, the trousers are a lovely wide leg style and the hoodie is nice and oversized. The individual pieces will even look great styled separately (so really it's like two outfits in one, right?! Haha) Available in grey and fits sizes 16 to 26.

Lounging around, running errands? You've all been loving this one, so of course we've restocked it! We've gone for the stone colour to transition more into spring - it's made from a lightweight sweater fabric so you'll definitely get your wear out of it in the coming months and it's ONLY £15! The Rock Leopard Pocket Top is available in stone and fits sizes 14 to 24.

There we have it! Those are my brilliant basics top picks - ideal to add to your everyday wardrobe without breaking the bank!
