Double Duty

June 1, 2015

Blouses like this black and white one (only $17!) that can do double duty as work and weekend wear are closet must-haves for me. I wear them constantly and thus am always on the lookout for pieces like them. I have them in all forms: long sleeve, short sleeve, and tank tops. I pair them with skirts, trousers, skinny jeans, and shorts. I layer them with blazers, under sweaters, and wear them alone. I love ones like this that are basic (white) but have fun detail like this black piping, because the milage I can get out of them is even greater. What are your double duty wardrobe pieces?

I just snagged these distressedΒ black boyfriend shorts from Gap on a recent sale, and I am loving them! They will definitely be a summer staple (I sized down).

    I love that you keep your outfits so classic and always add a twist! I love that staple top and I can understand why you own them in so many variations! I think my steady pieces are definitely a good trim tank top, something that I can layer under everything for every season.

    I love your shorts and have been on the hunt for a good pair of boyfriend shorts! Lovely look all around. Hope you had a great weekend.

    How nice of your mom to loan you her bag for these photos! I just love red (or hot pink) bags with an all black and white outfit like this. And I love the subtle black trim on the white top- perfect!

    I love pieces like these that you can dress up or down. Love this black and white combo and the pop of red via the bag is perfect. And hello, how did I miss those sandals from F21?! Love them!

    Loving these shorts, my current pair of black shorts are too big for me so you are totally tempting me.

    What a cute top! I love when pieces are suitable for different settings, it makes your closet stretch even further πŸ™‚ I’m super bummed I didn’t get those forever 21 sandals when I first saw them. They look great!
