THE SARAH STORIES

closet basics

We all have basics in our closet. While  their value increases with each wear, the outfit pairings can often become repetitive. 

let's elevate

I thought to take these basics in closet and elevate them a little. Let’s breathe them new life with fresh accessories, trends, and a whole lot of creativity this season! 

blazer

Give your favorite graphic T, jeans, and sneakers an instant upgrade by pairing them with an oversized blazer of choice. Add some accessories & you’ve the perfect mix of dress & casual.

I.

The blazer is timeless in that it never goes out of style, yet holds the ability to instantly make an outfit.

little black dress

A vibrant & colorful blouse is sure to add your little black dress back into rotation. Add in a chunky statement necklace & block heeled mules.

II.

The sheath dress is one that shines alone or accompanied with color. It's one that will never go out of style.

jeans

Not sure about you, but I’ve always avoided this pairing, and vowed to never. But our styles change, even revert, and have proven recyclable.  Denim on denim works!

iII.

I kept the wash light on bottom & went darker on top. Add in some leopard sneakers, & you're set! Would you wear this look?

printed maxi

One of my favorite ways to transform a dress is to add a graphic T over the top. Use a small hair tie to knot it & you’ve now the illusion of a skirt!

IV.

This look is a prime example of just how versatile a printed maxi can be! Add in some braided sandals & an everyday tote for an easy errands look.

neutral cardigan

Elevating this basic is simple. Give it a monochrome moment! Opting similar shades from top to bottom, I chose a khaki colored pant & canvas mules.

V.

While I love color, it’s the trusted neutrals like this cream cardi that make up the majority of my wardrobe. This look reads chic & stylish.
