Just the Classics

When I have those “I-have-nothing-to-wear” moments, I always fall back on timeless pieces like these because it’s the easiest way to look polished without having to even think about it.  For me, this usually involves stripes of some kind, a bright lip and gold accessories – it’s a formula that works every time and that I, amazingly, never get tired of.  What’s your favorite look that you keep going back to?

    My favorite go-to look is a pencil skirt and silky shirt or blouse, completed with either peep-toe or pointy-toe pumps. It's always appropriate for the office I work in. By the way, I really like your outfit, but I'd have to wear something like it on the weekend.

    I really love this look. Skinny jeans are such easy dressing and I wish I could wear them. Beyond that, the entire look is perfection.

    Lately my go to has been an old navy cardigan and a button up shirt or tshirt with khaki pants for work. Keep going back to my preppy roots. I just switch out the khakis for jeans when I go for casual. Just add some bling so it's not so blah.

    Hi Kimberly,

    Thanks for the link to the shirt. It is beautiful. I will be placing an order for it.

    If you get a sec, check out my latest post 'One Shoulder Wonder'. A very pretty LBD dress that I found last weekend. I would love to hear what you think about it.

    Have a great weekend!

    Always a fan of the classics and I love how you made this simple outfit look so chic. I've been eying that J.Crew shirt for a while now and may have to just take the plunge!

    I totally know what you mean, sometimes in the mornings I stare at my closet for a good ten min. before I can think of anything to wear. When I'm stuck I usually go with some sort of skinny jean and over sized shirt. It always looks simple and chic plus I know I will be comfortable. I love you decision to go with the classics though, you would never guess you were in a wardrobe conundrum because you looks so put together!

    I'm loving the black and white, Kimberly! Your nail color is so pretty too! I saw your feature on Jenn's blog and loved getting to know you. I had no idea you were on AI! Have a wonderful weekend!
