Navigating Neutrals

January 21st, 2013

J.Crew Jacket and Shirt, Illesteva Sunglasses, J.Brand Jeans, Manolo Blahnik Heels, Mulberry Bag, Make-up Forever Lipstick #40

There are some wardrobe basics that are more obvious than others – a great pair of jeans, a black cardigan, a white button-down. But for me, a military-inspired jacket gets more play than just about anything else in my closet. It works just as well with a floral dress in the spring as it does with chambray and jeans in January. I haven’t worn white denim since the summer, but love that these seem seasonally relevant when paired with muted neutrals.

    I agree a great khaki jacket is such a wardrobe staple that takes you from summer to autumn with ease. I love to pair mine with stripes and florals.

    Love a good simple and classic look at this one is done perfectly… love the unexpected pop of grey in the heels and your fun sunnies. And the cuff is beautiful: is that the one that your mum made you?

    Happy Monday!
