Speaking of basics, when I was in college, my sartorially-inventive sister went on a mission to make my then all-gray wardrobe more exciting. For birthdays and Christmases, she bought me classic pieces with a little bit of oomph. A striped zip-up sweatshirt, a navy tee shirt with a high neck and big buttons, and this top, which I love. It's a super-versatile white button-up, but it has a sweet row of ruffles and buttons, an interesting cap sleeve, and a great fitted cut.



It's still super warm here this week, so I'm trying to get wear out of a bunch of pieces that won't see the light of day as often in the winter (like the button-up, which I usually forgo for long-sleeved shirts). Though I'm still feeling summery, I tried to add a little dash of fall with the wool flats.



Nevermind the forecast of 90 degree weather, tomorrow is the first official day of autumn! I luurrrve summer, but even I am getting a little overheated after four months of summer, and I'll be ready with scarves and tights when the cooler weather gets here.
