I recently read somewhere that a smart wardrobe is rooted in the classics, with clothing you can wear again and again, and that have the ability to make you feel and look good, despite changing your style. Today’s outfit, inspired by spring (and the rising temps here in Florida), is exactly that – unmistakably classic, yet modern, current and fresh at the same time.

Plus, if you’re not the kind of person who is super trendy and instead strives to stay true to what works on your body type or maintain continuity (like wear only neutral colors), then you might want to gravitate towards building a wardrobe with a couple basic staples.

On that note…

Tailored for a high-rise fit, these cotton-blend shorts give you a flattering waistline. They are easy to wear, comfortable and will look good season after season. Wear yours with a structured blazer, white t-shirt and gladiator sandals, or pair them with a simple crop top and foolproof blue denim jacket, like this one from Free People via Marshalls for a classic, yet oh-so-stylish look. Want it? Pretty sure your wardrobe needs it. Shop it now below!

This week I’m attending a special luncheon with some of my favorite local fashion bloggers at the Brazilian Court Hotel for designer, J. McLaughlin and am teaming up with Saks Fifth Avenue in Boca Raton for a special takeover so stay tuned for that! I’ll also be featuring Pt. 2 and 3 to my “Spring Ready” series from Marshalls on the blog later this week. So much in store…

Thanks for reading! And have a great Sunday night!
