The Basics

 

There have been too many mornings (and sometimes afternoons) where I have sat and stared into my closet and thought to myself, ‘I have nothing to wear.’ I know that some of you reading this know exactly what I am talking about! After a few long sighs, and without fail, I end up pulling out a pair of skinny jeans and a T. This is my go to uniform on the weekends and what you will most likely find me in while I am running around Boston checking off my to do list.

I know.  There is nothing earth shattering about pairing jeans with a T. These are basic items every girl should have in her closet.  However, it's all about having the right mix of accessories. Throw on on a few bangles here, a colorful bag there, mix in some print, and voila! You have a styled look that is easy, casual and cool.

How do you dress up your jeans and T look?
