Modern Classics

by Jen on Monday, May 27, 2013


When life gets busy (or you just can't be bothered to think too hard about what you're going to wear), it's nice to go back to basics with classic, no-fail pieces. I have a feeling that this flowy blouse & patterned shorts combination is going to be a uniform this summer, especially since I couldn't think of a more comfortable outfit... and all it takes is a simple swap in accessories to create a look suitable for virtually any occasion.

Have a great Monday, and to everyone who is enjoying a long weekend: I hope you're having a restful day!

The "back to basics" approach to dressing happens far too often for me. You look great here! Love your choice of basics; sadly, I can't get away with shorts at my office.

Super gorgeous and oh so chic! You really can't go wrong with stylish basics like a blouse and printed shorts, and the pops of colour add just the right amount of fun.

I'd wear that outfit head to toe, but you already know I'd steal your wardrobe off of you the moment we meet, right? :P

Loving the easy, chic and effortless look of the button down. Perfect for spring/summer. And the pop of color keeps it all fun.
