It's O.K. to Be Basic...
As summer comes to a close, we remember that the changing season often brings a change in pace. Summer days are described as "dog days" for a reason- they feel extra long and drawn-out. We take our time and stop to smell the roses once in a while. Once Fall rolls around, however, things start to pick up again and may even get a bit chaotic.
Don't let the change in pace drag you down, plan ahead for busier months, shorter days and colder weather by keeping it simple . Stick to the basics- wardrobe basics, that is.
The daily task of deciding what to wear will be much easier when you rely on some simple wardrobe basics. If you find yourself pressed for time and rushing to make it out the door every morning (something I'm very familiar with), a bit of basic will make you well prepared to layer, swap, mix and match at the drop of a hat.
By relying on some basic and practical pieces, you'll be doing yourself a big favor and saving yourself time getting ready every morning. Plus you'll look put-together, even if you don't feel so put-together.
Take a look below for some of my favorite Fall basics.
