CURRENT BASICS I’M LOVING

jacket (old) similar here| tee| jeans| mules| bag| sunnies Everyone has their go-to basics they tend to grab when they don’t know what to wear. It’s basically your uniform, that never fails. Mine always involves some sort of graphic tee, usually a band tee. I have so many of them, but they are such good basics to build a casual outfit from. When I don’t know what to wear, I tend to fall back on outfits similar to this one. ...

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MADEWELL

jeans| bodysuit| jacket| mules| earrings We all know there’s an endless amount of denim brands out there. It’s seriously a never-ending list. I will also admit that I have my fair share of jeans. It’s a closet staple, but there are SO MANY different washes and styles. And don’t get me started on the sizing. This is where I wish sizing was universal. My size varies depending on the brand and this drives me bananas! Not ...

CLASSIC OVERSIZED BLAZER

blazer|tee|jeans|booties|bag An oversized blazer is such a classic piece to have in your wardrobe. It goes well with so many different pieces. I wore this for my birthday dinner. Didn’t want anything super fancy, but still wanted to look chic. When I plan an outfit, it usually involves a tee and jeans. I build my outfit from there by adding pieces that are more interesting. For example, these buckle booties add some edge to this ...

THE BASIC DRESS YOU NEED IN YOUR CLOSET

AND it look great with heels when you want to dress it up. The best thing about this dress is the ruching, which makes ...

BASIC BLACK AND WHITE OUTFIT

There’s nothing better than having basic black and white staples to create an easy go-to outfit. It makes getting dressed very easy when you have basics that are black and white. They go with everything! I wore my favorite faux leather jacket with my favorite white converse. My jeans were an old pair that I just hadn’t worn in forever, so I DIYed them into some distressed denim. I will be posting about how I did it later this ...

RUFFLE SLEEVES

top, jeans, booties here and here (similar styles here) Ruffles are everywhere this year! You can find this trend on tees, sweaters, and sweatshirts. They add a feminine touch to any simple tee or sweater. This tee is extremely  comfortable because it’s loose fitting — I’m wearing a size small and it’s an oversized fit. It also comes in a few other colors, but I opted for black because it’s a common color in my ...
