Getting dressed each day is mandatory, and as someone recently pointed out, in that case, we might as well have fun. I couldn’t agree more, but on those days when you simply want to get out the door, one’s attire still should not be neglected. Keeping it simple is always a good idea when you’re not sure what to do. This is precisely why have a capsule wardrobe will be a saving grace – stock it with the essentials that you love and that can mix and match and rest assured that you will look stunning each day you greet the day.

This week’s Outfit of the Week is a bit of a prep for pre-fall. After all, summer is not over, but fall is just around the corner. I love the combination of yellow that will brighten any office or event you attend and stripes that play on casual, but with a button-up can easily be taken to work or a more formal occasion. If you’re looking for a classic Breton top, the one worn by Kate Middleton this past spring is in stock and the reverse coloring is seen below. Also, the black Furla handbag is one I highly recommend (having one myself). For a few more days it is on sale and is ideal for day and evening occasions when a more than a couple of items need to be held.
