The other day I was in a major fashion rut. I created a huge mess in my bedroom, trying on outfits and throwing them on the bed, unhappy with the way anything looked. As the pile got bigger and bigger I took a step back. Instead of trying to create outfits with new items I took another look at some of my favorite Classic pieces.

I’ve always felt comfortable in a simple crewneck sweater, skinny jeans and heels. So I started with that in a classic camel and black color combo. Then I layered on two new pieces (a snake belt and trench) and reached for my favorite classic Chanel bag.
The result? I finally smiled in the mirror. The only thing I wasn’t smiling about? The mess I made with my closet before reaching the conclusion that sometimes in order to feel great, you just have to head back to your anything but Basic Basics.
