Back To The Classics + WW Link Up

As much as I love wearing all the the season's trendiest pieces (off-the-shoulder forever), sometimes I just feel my best in classics.  In fact, there is nothing that I love more than wearing a pair of distressed denim with a tailored blazer or classic button down, which also happens to be my go-to outfit when I'm rushing out the door.  January also tends to be a time when I cut back on my shopping.  Sure there are some really great sales going on, so I may get an item or two, but nothing major is being added to my closet.  Which means I need to be creative when putting outfits together, and classics make the perfect pieces to restyle.  Layer a white button down under a lace up sweater, or throw a blazer over your slip dress or lace camisole.  In fact, blazers are my favorite items to restyle because they can make almost any outfit appear put together.  The blazer I am wearing is from J.Crew and I've had it for years! I layered it over my Rails plaid button down and love how it made my plaid appear polished and sophisticated.  To add a little edge to my otherwise preppy look, I paired my blazer with fringe hem jeans, and finished my outfit with a gold choker.  I love how this look could easily take me from a meeting, to lunch with the girls, or be a great option for a causal Friday.

I want to thank everyone for your kind words and encouragement on Monday's post about my new business venture.  I'm excited about this new chapter in my life, and can't wait to see all the new opportunities it brings my way.  If you haven't already, make sure you go enter the giveaway!
