How to | Style Basics Without Looking Basic

Basics are anything but basic. Contradictory I know, but it’s true. Basics have always been my go-to because they’re what I feel most comfortable in. I’ve realized this over the years as I’ve worn the same 5 shirts, and all those super trendy pieces I just had to have sat in my closet collecting dust. #closetconfessions

Styling Basics 101

♡ Stay basic up top & party on bottom, or vice versa
{aka pair a classic button down with frayed denim cutoffs}
this will make your outfit look less like a uniform

♡ Make ONE accessory pop
{shoes, bag, piece of jewelry}
I know it’s hard not to go crazy because your outfit is so basic but trust me when I say KISS

♡ Balance your colors
{if it’s a summer day keep it light & bright, if it’s a winter night break out the black & layer like a mother}
I love black & white but it’s very been there done that, instead go for all white, all black, all grey, etc. for balance & unity

♡ Find a signature
{that one thing you wear every day that keeps you unique… your signature}
My mom always wore this jingly gold bracelet with a mens silver watch, ugh, yeah what a lil’ style babe
