Tried and True

Studded Black Sandals

Sometimes I stand in my closet and over think things, which leads to crazy frustration and to the phrase, "I have NOTHING to wear". I like to mix things up and wear pieces different ways that have previously been posted on my blog. It's easy to get caught up in trying to be creative and think outside the box when it comes to styling clothes, but at the end of the day, going back to the basics never fails. Black, white and denim will always pull us through a wardrobe funk.

Everything I am wearing today has come through like a champion. Even though I recently added this Chicwish lace cardigan to my closet, everything else was purchased months ago and have found their way into numerous outfits. Styles that incorporate items that are on constant repeat solidify that purchasing staple pieces like a solid cami, denim shorts, anything with stripes and a pair of fun black sandals are worth every single penny.

This outfit randomly came together and is quite honestly one of my recent favorites. It's simple, timeless with a dash of edge and a femininity. Plus, it kept me cool...layers and all. 

Also, don't forget that Monday is the last day to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I am soooooo close to pulling the trigger on these heels. I have a similar pair in black (which are also available) and wore the heck out of them. Should I go for it? One more sleep and I'll make my decision. Hope they're not sold out by then.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. xoxo
