Leopard + Stripes

I really am simple when it comes to clothes. You won’t find anything real out of the ordinary in my closet, or patterns that are just “too much”. But you will find lots of classics: simple tops and tailored bottoms. That’s why this outfit is so indicative of my everyday style, especially on those days that I don’t know what to wear. I woke up late (and by late I mean only a half hour) for my new job training, and I had no idea what to wear. Not to mention this crazy indian summer weather we’ve been having. So, I went for the ultimate basics and paired them with my new favorite leopard scarf. I can’t tell you how many compliments I got throughout the day from my new colleagues – and for an outfit that only took seconds to put together!

Top & Scarf: H&M (similar + similar)
Trouser: J. Crew ($10 at clearance store!)
Shoes: Me too (thrifted)
Watch: Gifted Michael Kors
Assorted Bracelets: Shoppalu, Lucky FABB, AEO
Feather Earrings: AEO

What’s your go-to outfit? Do you have a favorite piece you just love to wear, like my leopard scarf?

    I love this out fit, usually I dislike animal prints but the way you put it together it’s cute, not gaudy.

    That outfit is absolute perfection! I’m exactly the same as you – the classics are always the best – except you’re much better at implementing a look than me! You look beautiful 🙂 x

    I got a leopard scarf a couple weeks ago and have already gotten so much use out of it! I also love wearing mine with gold loafers like that 🙂

    I am crazy for leopard and stripes together. Have been wearing this mixture a bit here and there. I have a similar leopard scarf and a polka dot scarf – these two things are becoming a great go-to outfit pick me up for when I’m wearing something otherwise basic.

    You look darling!

    I have such a similar scarf — I actually thought it might be the same one! And I totally wear it all the time — animal prints are the new neutrals!

    Leopard and stripes are two of my most favorite prints. And you pull this look off effortlessly! Looks comfy!
