playing it neutral

Summer fashion is typically known for its bold and vibrant colors, but neutral “basics” are essential for completing almost every look. In fact, pairing neutrals together can make a cool, low-key style statement and can be a welcome change from summer brights.

I styled a mix of neutral “wardrobe staples” from Nordstrom to create a daytime look, perfect for errand-running and lunch-dates. All of these pieces are both affordable {everything except the jacket is under $100} and super practical “completer” items that are guarenteed to stretch your wardrobe and look stylish for years to come.

Here’s a summary of the must-have basics I am wearing ::

This draw-string skirt is a practical warm-weather piece and is cute paired with a tank or tee, layered with a jacket and worn with either flats, flipflops or wedges.

This scoopneck tee fits like a dream, comes in eight colors and is under $20!

Every gal needs a denim jacket and this one is a perfect fit and wash! {It runs on the smaller side, so I recommend sizing up.} And did I mention it is currently 40% off?!

And a neutral wedge sandal is at the top of my summer must-have list. This pair is comfortable and flatters the leg without too much heel height.

Stylishly yours,
