Wardrobe Staples

I really strive to keep my closet full of classic pieces that can carry me through the seasons year after year.  After streamlining my closet and going through a frightening mess of clothing (I definitely had several "what was I thinking when I bought this?!" moments), I wanted to put together a list of items that I feel are classic wardrobe staples.  I love that all of these pieces are versatile, timeless and can be mixed and matched.  For me, there's nothing better than a pair of boyfriend jeans worn with comfy flats, a grey t-shirt, a chic clutch and simple gold hoops to achieve that effortless yet put together look.  Have a great weekend!


1. Classic trench coat* - J.Crew Icon Trench
2. Striped sweater - Old Navy Striped Sweater
3. Grey T-shirt - Madewell Artisan Tee
4. Statement necklace* - Forever 21 Sparkling Collar Necklace
5. Pencil skirt* - J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt
6. Navy blue blazer* - J.Crew Schoolboy Blazer
7. Boyfriend jeans* - Current/Elliott Boyfriend Jeans
8. A chic clutch - Asos Croc Embossed Leather Portfolio Clutch

11. Ballet flats* - J.Crew Classic Leather Ballet Flats
