The Classics

 Being a fashion blogger is all about showing new trends, different ways to style things and sometimes really stepping out of your comfort zone. While all of that is fun, I think it's important to go back to the basics from time to time. And that's just what I'm doing today. 

When I was searching for a white button-down dress for this outfit I decided I also needed a new white button down. I have a linen one and a more fashion/trendy one so I decided to add a true Oxford style shirt to my collection. This one is so crisp and classic. I will definitely be wearing it for a long time. 

While planning outfits one day I thought what is more classic than a white shirt and jeans? Since I hadn't shared a true closet staple/basics post in a while I thought this would be perfect. I paired it with my favorite mom jeans and a pair of nude heels. I kept my accessories and lipstick very minimal as well. 

Overall these are all pieces I think everyone should have in their closet. Even if they aren't these exact jeans or these exact heels. Every gal needs a good white button-down, a good pair of jeans and a classic nude heel! 

I do want to say that sadly my exact shirt is sold out. This retailer always sells out so fast. However, I have linked a ton of very similar options below. 

Shirt: H&M only XL available (similar here, here here, & here) | Denim: Abercrombie | Shoes: Steve Madden | Purse: Tory Burch exact color is no longer available | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Choker Necklace: Flat one from this set | Lips: Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk with NYX Butter Gloss in Crème Brûlée on top

What are some of your favorite classic pieces? I obviously love these pieces and a good leather jacket. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I appreciate you stopping by today! 

Summer Classic

Today I have another super classic summer look to share with y'all. 

I wore this a couple weeks ago to grab drinks and have been obsessed with wearing it ever since. I think it just really captures the essence of summer style.

 These jean shorts are a million years old like I've said before, but recently I can't stop wearing them. I love that they are a true classic and will never go out of style. I love this white tank paired with them and tucked it. It really gives the look a clean classic vibe. 

This hat is also a few years old. Funny story. I bought this hat 2 summers ago I believe and I wore it for the first time on Memorial Day weekend this year. Isn't it funny how things can sit around forever and eventually you will wear them? Now I honestly can't stop wearing it. 

The finishing touch on the look is the earrings. I mean if lobster earrings don't remind you of summer I don't know what does. These are one of my favorite pairs of earrings I bought from the Baublebar for Target line recently. The great news is they are still available. 

You will definitely catch me in this outfit a few more times before the end of the season. It's also a great option for the upcoming 4th of July holiday.

Tomorrow I leave for New York and I am so excited. Definitely follow me on Instagram for lots of great content. (@thefashionablylateblonde) I will be sharing lots of new outfits, food, and other fun stuff. I want to try and be super engaged on stories this trip. 

I hope everyone has a great week and thanks for stopping by!
