My 5 Workhorse Closet Items

There are 5 items in my closet that I just can't live without. Well of course I can, but these are the items I immediately grab for whenever I am packing. They don't all go together but together they are the glue for a lot of my outfits.

1. A dark rinse jean jacket. Mine is from The GAP and it only gets better with every wear. Versatile enough to wear over a dress or the double denim look as seen here. It pretty much goes with everything and I love it.

2. The black and white Breton striped shirt. Mine is from Boden and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. This one is lightweight which is great for me because I am always running hot. I wear mine with slacks and a blazer, with jeans, with cutoff shorts. Another versatile piece but the best part... stripes, duh.

3. Black flowy shorts. Mine are from Old Navy and aren't available anymore but here's a link to some that are similar.

4. The Wilfred Free TYRA SKIRT from Aritzia. It is no longer in stock but there is a longer version here that has piqued my interest (and it's on sale for $20!). The fabric is unbelievably forgiving, it's easy to pack, it can be dressed up or down. I wear it a ton!

5. My Goyard St. Louis PM tote. This was a real splurge but worth every penny. I am crazy about the design, I love black and brown together and I can tote around A LOT of stuff. I throw my computer in there when I go to the office, I've used it as a weekender and I certainly use it as my carry-on when I fly.
