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 usually shop for all kind of complicated pieces with prints and very colorful and then I realise I don’t have the basic pieces to wear them with haha πŸ˜€ Love your shirt!

    Fashionably,

    Love how simple and easy this look is, and of course how perfect all the pieces are for mixing and matching with everything else you own. That top is way too cute!!

    Love those shorts, and how you made them look more polished with your blouse. I also love tops that can be dressed up or down.

    Great sandals. Love the standard black but the white sole makes them fun and visually interesting.

    I really like the color of your bag! Most red bags seem so flashy, but this one is classic and still fun.
