Trench and chain: Stradivarius// Tee: Mountain// Heels: Forever 21// Beanie: H&M// Bag: Nessa
Don't get me wrong sweeties, I love me some statement, one-of-a-kind pieces. But the real MVP's in my closet aren't my cool, funky stuff, but my sort of boring, super wearable, basics. This trench - which I have worn so many times I've gotten to scheduling when I could wear it on my blog - also, new black pumps, and the perfect, dark wash skinnies. These are the pieces that are tedious to buy, are always last resort, and yet lifesavers. So today, I am honoring my boring basics.
Funny thing is, this was not my initial outfit. My pug tee was supposed to be the star today. But after a few shots I knew it wasn't working. So I buttoned the trench up and wore my red beanie, which I forgot to remove from my bag, and voila! A different outfit. But since basics always work, it was still a success in the end. I spent the day walking around for a quick shopping trip. I picked up more basics - this time white sneakers and another black bag. So stay tuned sweeties.
Valentine's day is now around the corner. This would be our first Valentine's as a married couple, so the pressure is on. And I think I have exhausted the list of presents I could give him at this point. So I'll have to take this challenge in the creative direction. I'm planning to give him a portrait of himself with lots of pop art colors, but that seems like a stretch since I don't really have time. But we'll see.
So lovelies, what have you planned for this year's Valentines? And style-wise, what are the MVPs in your closet? Let me know! See you soon - Che
Love the pop of red! You look great!

It's true, the classic basics are always going to win in the long run. But it's nice to mix those pieces with the eclectic statement clothes as well ;) Like your fun sweater underneath!
ReplyDeleteLove the trench coat and skinnies though, they're perfect <3
