BEST SUMMER BASICS, NOW 40% OFF

THE PERFECT WHITE BLOUSE

When it comes to piecing together a wardrobe that is versatile and classic, I’ve learned the value of finding the right white essentials. I wear this crisp, clean color year-round and find that its a neutral I gravitate towards consistently. It creates the perfect canvas and allows for plenty of room to get as creative as possible. This white crew neck blouse has been a win for me. I love the fit and the mixed-media material makes it feel a bit nicer than your traditional white t-shirt. This top is meant to have an oversized feel to it, but I would size down if you want something a little more snug. I am in a small for reference!

THE MOST FLATTERING DENIM

I am no stranger to denim, and these jeans are good guys. They have some stretch but are pretty structured. Meaning, they keep everything smooth and mid-rise waist creates a flattering fit. I took my normal size in these. Highly recommend!

A PACKABLE STRAW TOTE (This one comes in navy too!)

I know, I know, you guys might be tired of seeing this tote again. But yes, I do love it and can’t get over how practical it is. Plus the leather straps really make this feel more elevated than a traditional straw tote bag. Take this to the beach or to brunch with your girlfriends — this is your one and done summer bag.

THE CLASSIC STRIPED BUTTON DOWN

I think we can all agree that there are few items more classic and effortlessly chic than a button-down shirt. It works year-round and the options are endless. The Dillion-Fit is a relaxed, easy fit that you can wear with jeans, denim shorts and skirt or under a slip dress.

BROWN LEATHER SLIDES

There’s just something so chic about the simplicity of a slide sandal, and this pair from Banana Republic comes in at under $50 with code BRSUMMER. They’re actually comfortable and work with literally everything from a striped tee and jeans to a breezy maxi dress.
