a sweater + skinnies
there's something so wonderful about a good sweater that you can throw on with skinnies and have a complete outfit. yes, it's always fun to dress up and layer and accessorize, but I think there's so much beauty in simplicity as well.

Real life wardrobe
Let's be honest -- we all have those days where we don't feel like wearing leather shorts or heels or something super trendy. There are days when we're not feeling creative with our outfits and need something simple, yet still chic and fashionable. To avoid reverting to yoga pants and a t-shirt on these days...I'm providing you with my go-to outfit when I'm not feeling creative: white button down blouse, a great pair of skinny jeans, and flats. You can't go wrong.
White Button Down Blouse - LOFT / Dark-wash skinny jeans - LOFT / Hobo cross body bag / Michael Kors Watch / Tory Burch FlatsTrue story: I've had these dark wash skinny jeans from LOFT now for 3 years and they're still going strong. They're my go-to pants whether its for work, going out, or a just a casual lunch with friends.My Tory Burch flats were probably the best Christmas gift I've ever gotten, from my mother-in-law! They may cost more than some of my favorite Target flats, but they are so comfortable, look great with everything, and will last forever. I got them in this camel color because its super versatile, and one of my favorite colors.And, a good sleeveless button down blouse is necessary for every wardrobe. It looks great by itself but is also perfect for layering under cardigans or pullover sweaters. (The one I'm wearing here is currently on sale for $12!)So there you go - now you have no excuse to grab your yoga pants and hoodie when you're feeling lazy! I'll be the first to say though...there is always a time and a place for yoga pants though. No shame.
wide like the 70s.
skinny denim is being shadowed this spring by those wide-wide legs. hello 70s. rock them with a wedge underneath to make your legs look twenty miles long. pair them with a fitted or slouchy top depending on your purpose.
