Classic | Mint...

Top {striped}: J.Crew | Top {beige}: Nordstrom {similar style here} | Cardi: J.Crew | Pants: J.Brand | Shoes: J.Crew | Bag: Dooney&Bourke via TJ Maxx | Belt: Gap {similar style here} | Necklace: J.Crew | Bracelets: Michael Kors, F21, J.Crew, Tiffany's | Sunnies: Tai Pan | Lips: Magenta {liner}, Pink Nouveau {lipstick} | Earrings: Nordstrom
One of the most frequently asked questions I get from all of you lovely fashionistas is something along the lines of, "what are some staple pieces I should have hanging in my closet"? This look is a great answer to that question. Here they are: The Jackie Cardi, a button up blouse, nude heels, and diamond studs. Add a sleek low bun and you are all set to be fabulous. 

Happy Thursday!

  12. Love this combination! Mint has become one of my favorite colors this season. And as I was catching up on my daily reads A Cup of Jo was having a little debate on the "half tuck" (to do or not to do). I think it's an absolute do! You pulled this look together perfectly!!
