a lesson in basics



Shirt: J. Crew; Skirt: Vintage; Shoes: Valentino; Sunglasses: Ray-Bans; Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim; Jewelry: Gorjana "Super Star" necklace c/o; Michael Kors watch

When in doubt, sometimes it's best to just go with a few basics -- a men's white button front shirt, leather pencil skirt and kitten heels (bonus points for studs!).

    1. They definitely run a bit small (for me anyway) and a bit narrow. I got a half size larger than I normally get -- hope this helps and would love to see how you rock them!

  35. Definitely schooled, but there is nothing basic about that skirt, bag, or those shoes! Certainly sophisticated and classic, and this look can go almost anywhere. I wish this could be my uniform. So, so chic!
