Cara Delevingne's Staple Items

Recently I've been having a hard time deciding what I need most when it comes to shopping. Sweaters? Jeans? Skirts? Coats? Yeah it's fun to go on a huge shopping spree to buy a bunch of things you liked on the mannequin, but I wanted more of a game plan. At first I looked to google to find a list of items that were categorized as staple must haves, but I didn't find much, so I decided to go to the source. This is where Cara comes in.

Since I had already browsed through some of her outfits to find inspiration (you might've read my blog post about it, but if you haven't you can check it out here), I started taking notes. What items did she seem to use more than once? If not the same item, something of a similar sort. So gradually I came up with this list. 

Here are Cara's Delevingne's staple items:

Let's face it. These's items are wayyyy above anyone's price range, but it's nice to stay on the lookout for similar finds. My personal favorites are Cara's leather jacket (I found a really cute one at Express) and her shoe collection. You might've noticed that a trend in her shoes was all black, which I think is a clean, classy choice. I don't wear heels on a normal basis, but I must say that she has a great taste in boots.

I know this post was kinda long, but other people's styles are so intriguing! If you had to choose, what would your staple item be?
