classic essential

there’s something so crisp and classic about a white shirt. maybe that’s why i have more than one hanging in my closet. tuck one into a pencil skirt and you’ve transformed into office appropriate chicdom. or throw one over a pair of denim and you’re ready for a casual evening out. over the weekend, mr. style and i went to see cafe society (nothing earth-shattering, but a sweet story) then bopped downtown for an evening cocktail. i opted to add a silk scarf and a cute little handbag into the mix to give this outfit some oomph. micro bags that are super sleek and carry the bare essentials are on-trend this season. so keep one eye out for one that tickles your fancy. patterned sandals finish off this ootd but let’s not forget to add a pop of color with a bold lip.
