Wide-leg white jeans

You know how you have those pieces in your closet that you tend to reach for time-and-time again — no matter how many times you’ve worn them?

I suppose it’s kind of like being in a food rut*; but, like, the style version…

(*Seriously, though: That food rut struggle! Mainly, the lunch rut. Anyone else get stuck eating the same shit things day-in and day-out?)

Yesterday, I had one of my offline-all-day type of afternoons, having spent most of my time at work (i.e. the SoulCycle studio).

I surfaced around 6 p.m. to an overwhelming set of white-on-red numbers glaring at me from my iPhone — as an important side-note if you’ve ever taken my class you know how much of a sweaty mess I am when I emerge from the studio. Yikes!

I was scheduled to meet my girlfriends Jess and Kiley at dinner in, oh 20 minutes, so I knew I didn’t have time to play around in the outfit department.

I ran (yes, ran) home, pulled the dry shampoo trick and reached for my recently acquired and most-worn acquisition: The black sleeveless turtleneck.

I’ve been wearing it with everything from pretty pink pleated skirts to wide-leg white denim, and last night was no exception. A tastefully-bulky knit (in black) always fits the bill when excessive amounts of chips and guac are involved, am I right?

(I should note, having a style go-to applies in the beauty department, too — for me, NARS velvet matte lip pencils are such a game-changer and ‘Dragon Girl‘ has been my fire-engine-looking must-have for the last month.)

What’s one of your can’t-live-without closet staples this season?

  14. Literally had the food rut conversation with my colleagues this past week about how I can order the same thing from the same takeout place for an entire month without changing it up. Kinda bad for someone who works for a food media company….
