In my younger days, I thought basics were so boring! But as I age, I feel drawn to simple pieces, simple outfits, and even more simple beauty routines.
These are the key pieces that I’m living in these days. Sure, sometimes I jazz it up with a hero piece, but just as often, I go toward what feels more minimalist chic to me.
Whether you lean toward a minimalist aesthetic or are more of a maximum impact girlie, every wardrobe needs at least a foundation of great basics to function!
The Pieces
Kut from the Kloth Jeans – So stretchy and comfortable, modern silhouettes (Kelsey and Meg styles are my favorite).
Franco Sarto Waxton Boots – Wear all day comfortable (even for a teacher), I have them in black and brown. Added bonus: they look expensive.
Jones New York Blazer – Simple every-day blazer, notched collar and rolled sleeves.
Gap Favorite Tees – My favorite tees (no pun on the name) … I live in them, honestly, the perfect fit and perfect V-neck.
Oversized white linen button up – Great third piece for warmer weather
Dara chunky sandals – Jambu’s last season super stars. Can’t wait to see what they have for this year.
Converse sneakers – a classic that I always go back to no matter how many pairs of sneakers I have
Lucky Brand Utility Jacket – a casual third piece, army green
Classic designer bag – a nice leather bag makes me feel a little special and elevated, even in jeans and tee.
