Classic





 {Wearing: Zara Coat, J.Crew Top, Gap Pants, Asos Pumps, LoveCoco Earrings c/o, Vintage Brooch & Marc by Marc Jacobs Bag}

I have said it before but I really do love simple and classic looks. That's why I love basic pieces with a special detail. A striped top with a sequin bird or a grey pump with a hidden bow. And when a coat that I wear far too often needs to feel a little more special, a vintage brooch will help with that. These are the outfits I feel the best in and it's nice to be able to still feel classic and put together without feeling like I have to try really hard.

I'm really just hoping a brooch or sequin bird will distract people from the fact that I feel too lazy to put a ton of effort in, okay?

  9. You look so beautiful in simple looks like this! Its simple yes, but oh so chic miss melissa!! I adore that cute little bow on the jacket and those shoes are also lovely. The colour of that jacket is such a great transition colour for winter and spring. I really can't wait for spring LOL. Zara has some nice jackets!!
