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

Have fun getting back to basics!

  2. Thank you! My mother-in-law allowed me to pick out some of my own Christmas presents last year and that blazer was one of them. I love it! Charlotte Russe actually sells a purple one like it right now! The tote was a clearance score! :)

Thank you so much for stopping by! Your comments always make me giddy like a school girl on a sugar high. Leave your link so I can creep on you. The good kind of creeping. Not the kind where I hang your pictures in my room or anything. (awkward shuffle)

Fashionably yours,
