Classic Herringbone

I’ll definitely be ready when the time comes to fully put away my winter clothes — seriously, I’m dreaming about the beach already — but I am a bit excited for one last go round with my vests. They’ve been perfect lately with how crazy the weather’s been between the early morning and midday.

I have a huge problem with getting up way too late for work; it’s more of an ‘ignoring my alarm’ problem that usually results in my hopping out of bed 10-15 minutes before I need to leave my house and attempting to cram in 30 minutes worth of primping. #TheStruggleIsReal

One of the ways I’ve found to combat this {and allow myself a few extra minutes of shut eye without feeling guilty} is to pull and set aside items in my closet that are easy to wear. For me, a white oxford is a must have. While you won’t see me wearing mine every week, it is a closet staple that I can always have faith in. On any given day, for any given occasion, my white button down can be grabbed, quickly styled, and I know that it will look great. The fact that this one is a no-iron just makes it better. These shirts can be tucked into a pencil skirt, worn with dress pants or dressed down with colorful chino shorts or jeans.

My biggest keys lately to looking a little more put together on the fly is accessorizing and adding in a bright lip. My latest pair of sunglasses from DITTO are these fun Westwood Leaning pair that have tortoise frames and funky blue mirrored lenses. They make making a statement look and feel easy.

My black druzy necklace from Kendra Scott is probably my most frequently worn jewelry item. It looks great alone or layered and the black druzy goes with everything. I pulled it on in addition to a bold yellow necklace that I haven’t been able to get enough of lately. I ordered this necklace in four different colors and have thrown them on so often since they got here. The multiple lengths within the necklace make it easy to wear with any neckline. I liked how the yellow really popped against this neutral outfit.

I’ve raved about my Transport Tote before but I was drawn to this bag because of the gorgeous color and up top interior pocket. I usually zip my keys and phone up top in the pocket {along with my extra plastic spoons and forks — a girl can never be too prepared} which gives me some freedom to throw all the
