After eight years of blogging, I've amassed a pretty decent wardrobe. Of course, I had hits but I also had misses -- as in there are certainly some pieces that have been on the Muse that I simply no longer wear. But one thing that I've tried to accomplish over the years is the ability to build a wardrobe with neutrals and basics. Yes, I will always incorporate unique and creative pieces, but the basics are still the basics.
Neutrals: colors that blend and match with other color combinations. Examples include shades of brown (camel), gray, navy, olive and black and white (cream).
Basics: essential clothing items that can coordinate with anything. Examples include nondescript T-shirts and sweaters, denim jeans, black pants, shoes in neutral tones.
Like I said, I won't stop wearing unique items when cute pieces catch my eye! But I'm looking to add more neutrals and basics to my closet. What's your favorite neutral or basic piece to wear? Happy MLK Day!
On the Muse: | Shein knotted detail jersey jumper | Kora mid-rise shredded skinny jeans c/o Unpublished Denim | Shein pom pom slides | Forever 21 wide brim wool fedora | Who What Wear ring bag (only $7 | designer version) |
Those shoes are the cutest, love those :)) x

Happy Blogaversary! Eight years is fabulous, and it's so fun that you can look back and see the evolution of your personal style. Of course having a closet full of versible neutrals is always ideal. Love your rust colored sweater!

I did start in 2009 but I wasn't consistent until 2010. But technically, I guess it's been 9 years. Let's see how I feel about it next year if I say that's my 10 year blogiversary or not.
DeleteOh my heavens I'm all about this look! From the color of the top to the style of those shoes to that adorable bag - so much cute! Happy eight years of blogging to you!
ReplyDeleteI love this casual look, but that bag is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI forget we have the same year and anniversary of blogging. Mine was in Dec. though. Happy blog birthday! The rust colour top looks so good, I just love splashes of colour, albeit in neutral styling. Have a great new week, lovely!
