What I'm Wearing: Working the Basics

Whenever you are throwing a mini-tantrum because you can't find anything to wear it always helps to have great basics in your closet that you can go-to in a bind. I realize that not everyone loves flashy outfits, trendy cuts or bright colors. This type of outfit looks good on all body types and will always leave you looking polished (no matter how frazzled you feel).  This was the case for me this morning, I was in a rush and my creative juices were certainly not flowing, so I just went to pieces I knew would work.

Blazer: Charlotte Russe, Cream Satin Tank: Came underneath another shirt, Necklace: Kohl's, Skirt: Goodwill, Shoes: Simply Vera Wang via Garage Sale (Thanks Mom!), Purse: Simply Vera Wang via Kohl's
