Vintage Aviators, Madewell Blazer, Gifted Juicy Couture Blouse, Zara Skirt and Clutch, Vintage Jewelry, Dries Van Noten Sandals

Ever since I pared down my closet a few weeks ago, getting dressed has been so much easier. Instead of sorting through a bunch of pieces that I no longer love, or that have some sort of issue (i.e. didn’t fit/had a stain/broken zipper), I now know I’ll only find great basics that work in a variety of ways. We shot these pictures last weekend in L.A. and I packed the entire outfit for New York since each piece (a classic blazer, a bow blouse, a leather skirt, statement heels, and a bright clutch) is so versatile and can be styled countless ways.

    I love the entire outfil except the shoes maybe. I’d pair the outfit with some nice, rock n roll low boots ;) like those of vanessa bruno .

    I love this outfit and how you added color to it using your clutch. I also like that you wrote you were happy to clean out your closet. I just recently moved to Nashville and gave away a bunch of clothes to the good will and it made me feel really good doing that, so I hope others do that and feel as good as I did.

    aaagh…you’ve inspired me. I need to clean out my closet so that I, TOO can have the perfect combination of mixable pieces in my closet. Instead of the ridiculously large number of practically un-wearable pieces I have now! :P
