Hi everybody!
There is something elegant about a clean, simple outfit. I love the creative challenge of designing outfits with complementary layers or accessorizing a simple outfit to make it pop. But there is something so powerful in a look that both creates an effortless vibe, while remaining flattering and chic.
I try to fill my closet with pieces that make me feel comfortable, confident, and that I know I can style multiple ways. It usually makes getting dressed in the morning easy and quick, which keeps fashion fun for me and maximizes sleeping time. Priorities. You get it. But every once in a while I get a styling block. It’s like writer’s block, but less existential. For those of you that can relate, this type of outfit is my secret coping mechanism. Ignore the frills, forget the accessories, and choose a couple of pieces that fit you well.
What are your fall back strategies for tough mornings? And what do you think – does the simple thing work?

I love this whole outfit, but for some reason the belt is really striking me as amazing! I really like the gold touches. Makes the outfit look so classy.

Thank you! Yes, I love that belt, and gold accessories are my very favorite. I could not for the life of me find a recent version of the chevron design, but maybe one day J. Crew will restock…
I’m really enjoying the blue and you’re so tall and beautiful :)
Have a lovely weekend,
Much Love,
Karen
