Gals, 'Basic' is a trending word to describe something/actions that is mainstream/popular or just 'plain'. Well I don't like either word .... I prefer simple or classic.
From a glance this outfit is 'basic' but let me assure you it's far from ordinary.
My go-to is a white top. I have countless. I got it from my Mamma, and Grandma. Paired with jeans and flats, it's effortless, comfortable and more than just classic - it's classy!
The trick to avoid looking 'basic' is to keep the pieces modern and with detail.
Now I know this post is taking a focus on the white top and jeans look but I have to take a turn and share with you the AMAZINGNESS that is these skinny jeans! Gals, I actually feel and look skinny in them. I do not have skinny legs and these jeans make them look longer and leaner.
They are a higher rise, which can be hard for me because I have a super short torso ... my hips and ribs are just a couple inches apart. But these are just perfect and allow for shorter tops. The coloring and softness just right. I promise you will LOVE & LIVE in these jeans. Go now and get a pair!
PS If you bring in an old pair of jeans you can get $20 off a new pair :) #yourwelcome
Now the white top, it's a button up with a collar but the modern detailing is in the tiers. Not Basic.
It's super soft and easy to wear casually with jeans or with dress pants/skirts.
Side Note: For my fellow nursing Mammas it's perfect!!
Oh, I can't forget to talk about these flats. They were included in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale back in July and sold out almost immediately during the pre-sale. I took Vivian Louise to the mall during the sale to give it a peak before I ordered online and sure enough to my surprise there was a pair of these flats on the table. I quickly checked the size and it was a 6! I slipped my foot in and score! Next thing I know I was at the register. These shoes were pricey so I had to take advantage of the sale.
The pointed toe, front slit and d'orsay design is chic and polished. Also leg lengthening!
Question, do you gals want sizing?? I've never included it but wonder if it would be helpful.
Dress Beautifully in the Classics
XOXO Sarah Louise
