Nothing But The Basics

by Jordan Reid | Aug 29, 2012

If I had my druthers, I really would wear some variation on this look every single day of my life.

Relaxed-fit tee + denim + a little red and animal print + great accessories = done, in my book.

And sure, sometimes “timeless” can translate to “boring”, but not in this case, because perfect-tee-and-jeans is a look that you can easily update to keep it feeling current.

How to do this? Just swap out your accessories for pieces that feel totally fresh.

Last year, for example, I wore a ton of scarves and chunky necklaces…but this year I’m pairing my favorite tee and bellbottoms with a major (major) boyfriend-style watch.

I love this watch. It looks like I stole it from my husband, but nope: all mine.

On Me: LOFT tee, Juicy Couture bellbottom jeans, ALDO leopard wedges, GUESS by Marciano sunglasses, Hannah Warner necklace, Rebecca Minkoff purse, Timex Intelligent Quartz Depth Gauge watch.
