Striped Knit Top and Jeans – Chic Look

Sunglasses: Ray-ban| Striped Top: Target | Watch: Michael Kors

On this particular day I didn’t know what to wear; I grabbed my blazer, big earrings, and pumps. I’m not sure if it’s the back – to – school rush or post vacation hustle but I just couldn’t pull it together!

When all else fails (and my brain’s on overload) I lean towards a chic look. You can’t go wrong with a striped knit top, fitted jeans, pumps, and classic watch. Don’t forget to throw on your sunglasses, fluff your hair and hold your head high because confidence is always in style.
