how to style staple jcrew pieces

Last week, I shared my Top 10 List for building a lasting wardrobe.  And today, I am taking a page out of my own book and styling my favorite basics.  I own this blazer in three colors now (camel, red and black).  It is such a flattering fit and I love the little popped collar!  Even in the summer, this is often my go-to outfit for casual meetings.

These jeans are the Rag & Bone skinny jean, you see them on here a lot in several different washes.  I swear by their flattering fit!  (I think Alicia & Meghan first told me about them in NYC!)  I order them in the ankle length and then don’t even have to alter them.

It is always fun to add a statement bag to a classic outfit.  You can add a pop of color or keep it simple.  I even love to pair brown and neutral accessories with a black outfit.

I originally purchased these shoes for a style show I was hosting, but ended up keeping them for myself!  They looks so cute with denim or dresses for a play on the menswear trend.
