I truly believe that looking great does not have to take a ton of effort. You can look effortless, put-together, and cool pretty easily. This look I'm sporting here consists of three basic pieces: a sweatshirt, jeans, and boots. For those of you who need a little help putting together outfits, I will walk you through my styling process:
1) I usually start out with one piece that I know I want to wear for that day. In this case it was Racing Stripe Sweatshirt from J. Crew (exact). That is the outfit foundation, I will build from there.
2) I find footwear to be EXTREMELY important in an outfit. Bad shoes will ruin everything. For this look, I took the cream from the stripe in the sweatshirt and decided to wear my cream combat boots. I don't always do matchy-matchy, but it worked in this instance.
3) I chose my pants based on my footwear. I chose the skinniest skinny jeans I had to stuff inside my boots. Pants sagging out of the top of your boots is not a good look.
4) This is the best part: accessorizing. I layered two gold necklaces to compliment the gold stripe on my sweatshirt. I decided on simple stud earrings because I was wearing two necklaces. Then I added my watch and initial cuff that I wear nearly every day.
It may seem like a lot, but this process takes me 10-15 minutes at most. Simply put: choose a foundation piece, add supporting elements, and accessorize.
