BASICS

I had the strongest urge to channel my inner school girl with some great basics. The black blazer and a white button down. They are great to mix and match with to create different looks and it's a definite closet essential. They're easy to dress up or down with a quick change of bottoms and accessories, and now THAT is what you call a great set of basics.

DRESSY x EDGY x CASUAL

Dressy, edgy & casual are three wildly different style characteristics that are fantastic on its own, yet it's hardly worn together. Why is that? Making the three gel together like glue could be tricky but definitely not unbearable. One of my favorite ways to add a casual element is the basic white tee. It's simple and yet you can dress it up or dress it down and make it cohesive. Typically, I roll the sleeves to add that extra something to elevate the look.

SHORT SUIT & OXFORDS

The other day I decided to do a well needed spring cleaning and in the process I found some great gems. I discovered a variety of great finds, such as, short and pant over-alls, beachwear, and some fabulous belts. Belts that my mom wore in the 80s and this in particular was a real delight. Black and white with leather and fur, and silver hardware. I believe that, that alone was enough said. It's one of those universal belts that could be paired with practically ANYTHING! This piece quickly became my frequent go-to, to add a touch of texture and character to an ordinary look.

The best thing about a pant suit is that you can wear it practically on any occasion. You're able to dress it up or dress it down with a quick change of accessories. You don't know what to wear tonight? PANT SUIT! It's one of those universal looks that every women should have. Essentially it's a quintessential closet staple that should be ready and available at all times. Just like the LBD (little black dress), the PS (pant suit) is NECESSARY. Either in different colors, styles, textures, prints, I mean the list just goes on. You can't go wrong with a suit, whether it be a short, pant, or skirt suit, INVEST IN IT immediately! It's timeless and classic, and now THAT is what a women should be. 

When people hear pant suit, they think of work, but in my opinion it's far from that. I tend to dress how I feel and what my mood tells me to wear, I obey and do what it says (very demanding, I know!). There's a misconception of work attire being JUST for work, but ladies and gents there's nothing sexier than a fantastic suit when you grab a drink with your pals or buying groceries at the market. There's this confident air about you that WILL make your day better, trust me! It's like magic...

PANT SUIT

 

 I do love a great suit, it's sophisticated and chic in my opinion. In any shape or form, you're able to wear it anywhere and it's THE most essential thing you can have in your closet. Not just because it's a classic look, but you're able to wear it to different outings, from weddings to even regular nights grabbing dinner. It's extremely versatile and that's something to gravitate towards.

A suit, whether it's pant, short, or skirt, it's practical and you're able to change it up by changing your bottom and a quick change of accessories you can transform yourself from day to night or event to event. As far as what's underneath the coat, you could wear ANYTHING. Believe it or not, this particular button-up happens to be my dad's from the 80's (so don't throw anything away). Oversized men's shirts, sweaters, and jackets...I just can't live without them!
