Hooded Blazer

Alice + Olivia Blazer, Old Navy Hoodie, Madewell Tee, AGOLDE Denim, Gucci Mules, Chanel Handbag

I feel like I’ve only just recovered from my cabbage roll coma, a direct result of an amazing Thanksgiving long weekend.  This week has been more recovery than hustle, and while that used to stress me out, I’ve learned to embrace the uncontrollable waves that this season has brought with it.  Sick children means my week has been wiped, although it has forced me to start working on their Halloween costumes, which if we’re being honest I wouldn’t have started until the week of Halloween.  This outfit has been my go-to as of late, and there are so many variations to mix it up.  I’ve worn it with my white Reebok instead of the mules, I’ve swapped out the blazer for my leather jacket, and I’ve thrown on a loose, boyfriend style of denim.  Having staples such as denim that makes you feel fab, a hoodie, and a fresh white tee are such great building blocks to create numerous outfits without the headache of pondering what goes together.  I’m curious, how many of you have the basics ready to go in your closet?
