Simplicity at the Office by theclosetbychristie

It’s easy to get carried away with fashion! There are so many fun trends and it’s always evolving and changing. When we see the new looks and styles going down the runway, it’s tempting to run out and buy them all! But the truth is, every woman needs to have the basics in her closet. And more often than not, a simpler silhouette made up of basics creates a fabulously chic look.

So today, we’re going back to the basics!

THE LOOK: The Original Long-Sleeve Essential Shirt, Express  

Red Houndstooth High Waist Pencil Skirt, Express // Merona Natasha Mid-Heel Pump, Target

Basics, in fashion, are essential. One of my favorite quotes is: “simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication.” It’s so true but easy to forget!

When you have plenty of basics in your closet, it’s easy to mix and match. Each of these pieces can be styled about a million different ways and would go with almost anything. So ladies, channel your creativity and these pieces will transform your style so it looks like you’re wearing a new outfit everyday… without breaking the bank! 

Bonus Tip: Don’t forget to look for quality when shopping for your basics. It will really make your dollar go the extra mile!
