Shoe Rack Essential

The Mode Collective Sandal / Zara Tank / Leather Skirt (here or here) / Gorjana Necklace and Wanderlust & Co Ring via Rocksbox / Outlette Arrow Necklace and Rings

If there's one staple shoe (besides a black pump) that you need in your closet, it's a nude sandal. It goes with just about anything in your wardrobe and added benefit: it lengthens the leg! And who doesn't want longer legs?! This pair is by my favorite brand this week: The Mode Collective.A sky high heel and slim straps give it a perfect "barely there" look. I paired this shoe with an all neutral look, one of my favorites for the approaching summer season. Clean, chic, and elevated, this look will take you from work to afterhours in a snap.

Layer It Up

JOA Sweater / Vintage Denim Shirt / Liquid Leggings / Merona Socks / Topshop Sandals (similar)

The key for winter, and a New York winter at that, is layering. I started with this perfect and cozy ivory sweater over a worn-in denim shirt. It's a bit more relaxed than usual preppy combination. I switched it up once more by wearing liquid leggings (which I only suggest with longer tops...leggings do not equal pants). And finally, I threw everybody for a loop with socks and platform sandals. Sock are back on the runways again and having a major moment. These combinations add a fun element to even the simplest outfit. Shop the links above to get the look!
