Maxi Skirt
"If you've been on social media at all, you know that maxi skirts are trending. I'm really on board with this trend and have added three to my wardrobe. Not only do they offer comfort, but [they] also [offer] a quick solution when I feel like I don't know what to wear. They instantly elevate any look and are so versatile. You can wear them with anything from a simple T-shirt to a blazer and tank look." — Andrews-Cater
Mesh Ballet Flats
"I fell in love with The Row's mesh ballet flats a couple of years ago and never dove in. But I recently got a white pair from Dear Frances and have been wearing them on repeat. They add so much interest and personality to any outfit." — Andrews-Cater
Something Yellow
"I never thought I'd utter these words, but I'm adding small touches of yellow—mostly pale yellow—into my wardrobe for spring and summer. Yellow sits nicely with all of my minimal, neutral closet staples, and I have loved yellow in small doses, mostly accessories." — Andrews-Cater
Distressed Leather Jacket
"I've been reaching for my new leather jacket from My Essential Wardrobe more than I thought I would. It's a nice alternative to a blazer or heavy coat moving into spring. For me, true style is about mixing up your pieces. I love wearing my distressed leather jacket with skirts and more feminine pieces, as well as simple denim and tee looks. It's a must-have, game-changer piece for me in my closet." — Andrews-Cater
Drop Earrings
"Being a minimalist, I tend to wear my simple everyday jewelry all of the time, but I have been gravitating toward a statement earring, necklace, or ring lately when I go out or to an event. Again, I like the juxtaposition of, for example, vintage Levi's 501's, a simple corset top, kitten heels, and a statement earring with my hair pulled back. I really love that look lately." — Andrews-Cater
