Crisp

By: Jen Shoop

For some reason I woke up yesterday wanting to wear a crisp, pristine, white button-down with some classic, dark-wash skinnies.  This was an unfortunate fashion revelation because I’m working in D.C. for the week, and my wardrobe lives in Chicago.  So instead, I put together this post outlining crisp separates for this heavy-sweater-weather.  I love this Proenza Schouler colorblocked number ($695) —

— dreamy, and very Taylor Tomasi-Hill, with these phenom laser-cut sandals (again, Sophia Webster ruling lives — $695)

Not sure if this Jerome Dreyfuss bag ($1,398) isn’t a little too matchy-matchy, but I don’t care…too pretty to care!

For a truly classic look along the lines I woke up imagining, pair a crisp white top ($118) with a funky statement necklace (Ranjana Khan, $438), denim skinnies and ponyhair flats (Matt Bernson, $195):

Lots of street stylin folks have been wearing printed pants lately, and I’m curious about testing the waters.  I’d go slow with these relatively unscary Opening Ceremony trousers ($425), a sleeveless white blouse (Joie, $188), a “rosary” necklace (Tory Burch, $225), and pink suede pumps (Zanotti, $495):

Top it off with one of those Illbeca by Jill Gryson bags I swooned over awhile back (great price point — $98):

Now, if the printed pants send you running for the heels, try the inverse.  Begin with a clean white canvas of a dress (Thakoon, on sale for $358), offset by a fun gemstone necklace ($40):

And top it off with this winning Anya Hindmarch top-handle ($1,780):
