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.
