More Than Essential - 5 Things I Can't Live Without

It's the exciting conclusion to my 10 Essentials. The five things you're about to read about here are the absolute things that I cannot live without.

5. Sharpie Pens

What's a warrior without his sword and writer with his pen. This is the pen that if I let you borrow it, I wouldn't let you out of my eye sight until I got it back. They write as smooth as butter. Whenver I need to copy down notes or jot something down real quick, it's always nice to have one of these around. Any other pen is inferior.

4. Converse Chuck Taylors

I respect sneakers heads for their commitment to the obsession, but these Converse are the only pair of sneakers I need. They're the quickest remedy to dressing down an outfit and not be concerned with whether they're out of place with your outfit. They're classic in the best sense of the word!

3. Kindle Fire

I never thought I would see the day when I'd be okay with not holding a book in my hand. I'm an avid reader, and I was anti-tablets when it came to reading books. After reading the first Hunger Games in under three days, I couldn't imagine what I would do without it now. It doesn't quite have all of the functionality of an iPad or similar tablets, but it gets me through the most dreary parts of my day.

2. Sunglasses

Go back and read my Black Shades and Floral Prints post, and you'll know that I cannot do without my sunglasses. I keep a pair in my car, in my bag, and clipped to my shirt. The mirrored lenses are really in right now, and they go great with a smile.

1. Clark Gent glasses

This is the accessory that started the legend. I use these as part of my Clark Kent costume for Halloween, and I just fell in love with the way they looked on my face. Originally, they belonged to Mrs. Gent. I ended up wearing them so much that they became mine by association, and the rest is history.
