back to basics

after the colorful holidays, it is always refreshing to go back to basics. pulling out classic pieces in neutral colors from your wardrobe. i love pairing black and white with cream accents. wearing a pair of girly ballet flats against a boxy jacket and dark denim, pairing dainty pearls with edgy strappy watch and colorblock leather clutch is such a matching contrast that works really well. 

wool peacoat // black turtleneck // jean leggings // faux pearl earrings 

  watch  // ballet flats // clutch (further price reduction!)
