My day-to-day looks are pretty pared-down and informal. I will certainly dress up for certain occasions and events (typically in tailoring), but it’s often a low-key vibe for me. And yes, this means that I live in simple basics. I love a good tee, pair of jeans, crewneck or V-neck sweater, sweatshirts, and so on. One of my favorite looks is similar to the ensemble above with a tee tucked into jeans and sometimes a knit wrapped around my shoulders.
Nordstrom is one of the retailers where I find many of my go-to basics. And the offering is strong right now. On that note, I scrolled through the basics department and curated an edit of the simple basics that suit a more informal vibe.
