I came across this set of five simple rules of French dressing and thought it’d be fun to share {similar to this post}. As part of attempting to create a more streamlined and intentional wardrobe, every time I make a purchase I’ll mentally check it through this list. Rules one and two have been especially important lately. I just added this scarf by Acne, this top by Madewell, and this coat which is a gorgeous shade of navy — winter is still very present here, sadly}. My makeup regime has been super simple with this being a new holy grail product for me {so late to the party with this product but it’s seriously amazing – more on this later}! You can see a few pieces from my {very neutral} wardrobe here.

This is one of my most pinned images on Pinterest which is so funny as I think it’s just a cutout from a magazine! But, it is such a timeless and perfect outfit so when I came across these identical pants I had to share them {they’re also available in petite here}. The best part is they’re only $40!

Get the full look:

+ Pearl headband
+ Black coat
+ Beach wave spray

+ Pin stripe blazer
+ Leather leggings
+ Black foldover clutch

+ Leather jacket
+ Striped blouse
+ Black pouch

+ Black coat
+ White turtleneck
+ Skinny jeans
+ Black booties

+ High waisted black denim
+ Leather jacket

A few images I’ve been pinning lately that have me wanting to take a more neutral, classic direction with my Spring dressing. Skinny jeans {loving Frame lately}, these Steve Madden booties, and light layers from Joie are on constant rotation around here, especially with the little teases of warm weather we’ve been getting!
