This is the time of year when you need go-to items in your closet that mix and match with everything. My daughter Rachel and I like to have all our basics covered, so we are always prepared with great wardrobe options.
Even though we now live on opposite coasts (with lots of visits in between), we still seem to share a similar style aesthetic. We love wearing these elevated basics below and expressing our fashion sensibility in our own unique ways.
Shop the pieces below that we will be wearing on repeat well into the New Year!
