My Top 5 Favorite Pieces in My Closet

I would describe my style as traditionally preppy: simple, yet bold. I love to wear neutral clothing to create the foundation of the outfit. My favorite staple pieces in my closet are pieces of clothing that fit well, look nice, and are versatile. Here are some of my favorite clothing staples!

1. Lilly Pulitzer Madison Skort: During the After Party Sale, I purchased this amazing skort by Lilly. This skirt is super comfortable and durable for any activity. I would probably recommend going a size up, because there is elastic around the waist but shorter in length. I am obsessed with this stylish piece for the unique pattern and fun colors.

2. J.Crew Toothpick Jeans: These jeans are one of my favorite pieces in my closet. When I worked at J.Crew, I received my first pair and I fell in love. They fit like a glove, I definitely love that they are not tight around the mid thigh region or the hips. I love that these jeans are skinny jeans but aren't constrictive like typical skinny jeans. I have three pairs of pants in a dark, medium and light colors. I love that these jeans go by numbers rather than just a medium or large sizing. Always try on any clothing from J.Crew whether it is jeans, shorts or a top to reassure that it fits before buying the item.

3. Old Navy Relaxed Peplum-Hem Top: I have this top in classic colors of orange, cobalt blue, raspberry pink, and white with black striped. The hem part lays right above the hips as the long sleeve gives the piece a nice boat neckline. I love how lightweight this top is, and its versatility for all seasons. I wear a medium in this top (though I do have a large #clearancescore) This top is a classic neutral piece that can be worn all of the time.

4. Sam + Libby Tibby Whip Stitch Thong Sandals: This pair of shoes reminds me of Jack Rogers or Palm Beach Sandals. I didn’t want to jump into buying a pair of Jacks or Palm quite yet; although I truthfully enjoy these sandals as they are comfortable and easy accessible to slip on. They are not too narrow or too wide. I have the colors gold and white, and I love these cute shoes. But if you do have Jack Rogers or Palm Beach sandals, I would love advice about purchasing them.

5. Vests: I am addicted to vests, I have nearly all of the different colors such as pink, white, red and black. During the fall and winter, they become my essential piece of clothing. Many of my vests, I have bought them through TJ MAXX. I have a couple of Lands End vest in pink and multi colored plaid vest. I can easily style underneath with simple layering of a sweater and a button down. I have many excursion vest in all different styles of stripes, buffalo check, gingham, herringbone and puffer.

I would love to know what your favorite pieces in your closet! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Obsessing Over Orange

I have been searching for comfortable pants that I can wear with basically everything to wear in all types of seasons. I came across the Pixie pants from Old Navy and I truthfully fell in love with them. They have great durability and many stylish patterns and solid colors to show off. With finding a good quality pair of pants comes hard to find that actually can be comfortable and legitimately fit me correctly. On the orange pixie pants, there is a great pattern that is easily hidden when first seen. I adored the boldness of color within these pants as I paired them with a J.Crew chambray shirt, a cream bubble necklace and white Sam & Libby Tibby Whip Stitch Thong Sandals. The shoes are identical to Jack Rogers (which I love) but I wanted to wait and spurge on Jack Rogers or Palm Beach sandals until I exactly knew what is was like to have identical ones. Plus my Carolina Dandy Monogrammed Scallop Purse is a great additional after a night in town.

I also am featuring is my newly purchased Carolina Dandy Scalloped Purse. I decided on the color white with a navy blue thread color. It hold many things that other purses normally wouldn't.  I love how flexible this purse is as typical purses aren't. I was always told if it isn't moving, then monogram it!
