My August calendar is quickly filling up with blog conferences, dinner dates, and trade shows and it's hard not to want to buy a new outfit for every occasion. Instead I'll be investing in and replenishing my wardrobe basics: a few solid pieces that can be worn myriad ways. Case in point:
Madewell blazer (a must on my wishlist for fall) // J.Crew t-shirt
Design Darling tortoiseshell necklace // Diane von Furstenberg skirt (similar here) Cleobella card holder // See by Chloe bag // Loren Hope cocktail ring // J.Crew ballet flats
The blazer would work just as well with my go-to skinny jeans and the skirt would be adorable with a classic blue oxford tucked in. And yes, this is the way I justify all my purchases ;) Do you shop the same way I do?!

These basics are great! A little pop of pink and orange are always fabulous!

When I use to go shopping with mom in tow, she'd always tell me I should be buying outfits, not pieces. I shop exactly like you though and try to think of as many outfits as possible before I leave the store with an item!
Such a cute outfit idea! I love my white blazer... such a closet rockstar! But now I am seriously eyeing those amazing orange flats!

That bag... I'm dying! It's a must-have. Love this look :)
I definitely shop the same way! Really, any justification will do :) I would wear those flats absolutely everywhere! The great thing about colorful accessories is that they really do go with a million outfits, depending on how bright you want to be. Love it!
Love the pink and orange!

Love them all! Definitely going to have to check out the necklace... and skirt... and jacket. Oh my!
That bag is SO gorgeous! Love the flats, too. :)
That looks like my kind of outfit! Last week I mentioned I added you to my blogroll - I just noticed it never showed up for show reason, so I have done it again & it's up & running! I always find your posts inspiring.
