Lookbook: Back to Basics

It's finally Thursday! So for this week, that means it's my Friday! I'm so lucky that our work schedule gives us every other Fridays off. Since we're not coming in this Friday, Thursdays are my casual days.


H&M black blazer; Hollister white tee; Forever 21 chandelier necklace; Betsey Johnson belt; Lux (Urban Outfitters) dark wash skinny jeans; Forever 21 tan laced up suede booties

 Since I didn't have time to plan today's outfit, I decided to stick with the basics. What can be more basic than my whole outfit today. On a regular day, I might opt for my usual flats, but I've been loving these laced up booties lately.

I've actually had this booties since September, and I'm only starting to wear them right now. For awhile, I didn't know what I was going to wear it with and almost regret buying it. I wasn't sure if I had anything in my closet that would work with the shoes. But I just had to get out of my comfort zone of always sticking with black shoes on my feet. I always gravitate to black shoes, but it's time to change it up a bit. As far as comfort was concerned, I was also afraid that they might not be comfortable, but surprisingly, I can walk in these shoes for days even without insoles.

Because my outfit is so basic, I had to oomph it up a bit by adding the pretty necklace. The necklace almost dresses it all up.

I might say I'm pretty proud of myself for having back to back outfit of the day posts this week. We'll see how long I'll stay on track. It actually does help me really use what I already have in my closet as I'm trying my best not to do some clothes shopping for awhile. I still have clothes with tags on to this day! So for now, I'm going closet shopping.
