Hello lovelies, I’m here with another fun wall and some chic staple items to kick your summer wardrobe into high gear. I’m taking a simple white tank and comfy black lounge pants and pairing them with accessories that will make people stop to compliment you on what your wearing. Trust me! Read more to see some basic summer wardrobe capsule options.
Outfit Details
Sketchers Monarch Sandals / Black Lounge Pants / White Tank / Grey Sleeveless Cardigan / Necklace (similar)/ Sunglasses – Horizon Frames (IFQUKSVZZR for $10 off)
I love the idea of a wardrobe capsule but let’s be honest, I’m way too much of a shopaholic to limit myself to a few simple items in my closet. BUT, I do love picking out great basic, neutral items that can be mixed and matched, especially if they can carry over into different seasons. That’s why this outfit is so great! You can probably copy it with things that you already have in your closet.
Splurge on Accessories
A wardrobe capsule puts a lot of focus on adding outfit accents through accessorizing. Stores like H&M, Forever 21, and Simons (you know I love their TWIK brand!) are great places to stock up on basic essentials for your closet. They have lots of great options and they are more than affordable. I’m all about splurging on a few great pieces and accessories. Purses, shoes, sunglasses and jewelry are worth spending a little more on because you will get way more use out of them and they will probably last you for future seasons to come. In this outfit, I’ve done just that by spending more on my sunnies, necklace, shoes and cardigan. I can create a totally different look by pairing them with jeans, wide-leg trousers or a three-quarter length dress. So many possibilities!
What’s your favourite place to shop this summer?
Cheers,
Kiki

They are the most comfortable pair too!!
I am obsessed with this cardigan! I feel like you can incorporate it all year!
I totally agree! You could wear it over long sleeves in the winter and fall!
Love thisblook! I never would have guessed your shoes were Skechers either. I’ve been feeling so “eh” about my accessories lately. I’ve bought a few things and I can’t wait for them to arrive.
Most of my jewelry comes from Stella & Dot. I LOVE their stuff. Hope you like your new jewels!
Love this outfit! It’s so simple but perfect. That wall is amazing too!
I needed a little colour to make my outfit pop! lol Thanks Madi!
EEK.. i love your outfit! I love using classic staples of black and white and dressing it up with amazing accessories. Honestly great job! This outfit rocks!
Thanks Janette! You are so sweet!
I can’t believe those shoes are Skechers! You look great as always – love the colors on that wall! And, YES to splurging on accessories!
I know! And they have memory foam so they couldn’t be more comfortable!
This outfit is really gorgeous on you! I love the necklace. I love a nice pop with jewelry.
Thank you! I’m a jewelry fiend! Sometimes I plan my outfits around my necklaces! lol
Looking GORG as per usual. Right now, im loving any maxi dress that shows off the bump! 🙂
I lived in maxi-dresses when I was pregnant too! You look great by the way!
