Staples

April 28, 2015

Lace & Pearls Red Cardigan 1Lace & Pearls Red Cardigan 2Lace & Pearls Red Cardigan 3Lace & Pearls Red Cardigan 4 Cardigan: J.Crew (similar) | Blouse: J.Crew (on sale) | Jeans: AG (similar) | Necklace: J.Crew (old) | Bracelet: Stella & Dot | Booties: Jambu (old) | Purse: See by Chloe (black version) | Lip gloss: M.A.C in color Sinnamon

Closet staples are the best. You know the ones, that piece that you continually reach for time after time. Mine is this cardigan. I have it in two colors and it has literally become my second skin. I wear it at least once a week.

My other go-to is a simple sleeveless blouse. When in doubt, I grab a blouse, add a cardigan and jewelry, and I’m ready. This formula works well for jeans, pants, and skirts, and it takes the complexity out of your morning.

What are your favorite closet staples?

    Awww you look so lovely babe! I love your dazzling smile 🙂 The cardi is indeed a staple piece and I love how you paired it with that white blouse! 😉 My staple pieces are a navy or black blazer, a B&W striped tee, black skinnies (you can never go wrong with them), grey, black and white sweaters and a camel/beige trench 🙂 Haha I know, I’m pretty boring, I barely wear colours hahaha! :p Have a great day ahead! xo Vivian

    I agree a sleeveless blouse works wonders as a closet staple, and I love pairing it with a colorful cardi too! I think my closet staple will be a pair of caged heels, I feel like it goes well with everything from skirts to jeans and even to jumpsuits! Have a lovely day Asa! 🙂 xo~ Lena

      You rock the caged heel! I can see why it’s a staple for you.

    Love the color of that cardi! Right now I’m constantly reaching for my dark wash skinnies, Puella striped tees, and gold ballet flats or sandals (depending on how weird the weather is being). I also usually throw on a gold statement jewelry of some kind 🙂

      Thanks Mil.
      I have been on the hunt for the perfect stripe top. I also love a good pair of gold ballet flats or sandals, and am a huge fan of gold jewelry. We are twining it once again! Good choices. 🙂

    Love a great cardigan, and my nude heels have shown up with probably every outfit I’ve worn at some point. Now if you excuse me, I’m going to find that blouse you’re wearing…

      Nude heels are so great and make any outfit look polished.
      You’re so funny. We seem to have similar taste. Let me know if you end up purchasing/liking.

        I actually bought a top that’s similar today! Mid-length sleeve and a randomly neon yellow, but I’m loving the classic, not-too-trendy V-neck cut!

    My staples include metallic flats, silk t-shirt and a tailored black pant. They work whenever, wherever.
