Ultralight Beam

March 3, 2016
As my style has evolved, I have kept in mind the importance of simplicity and neutrality, two things that give garments longevity and ensure they will stay in style as trends pass.

The outfit I'm wearing below is one my favorites, precisely because it's simple and sleek. If you’re like me, you’re most comfortable in black. All black is always a great choice, though not so great to photograph. That’s why I switched out a black shirt for this asymmetrical lavender blouse. Manufactured by Zara, it gives my outfit an edge without taking it over the top.

I wore this outfit on a day out with my friends. We were shopping, stopping at Starbucks and even went on an apartment viewing. And later that night, it was the ideal outfit for a dinner date.

Identify your favorite neutral colors—like beige, grey, white, black and earth tones—and stick to them. Before you know it, everything in your wardrobe will match and you’ll have endless outfits.
