This outfit is as basic as they come. It is good for any age and most occasions, not to mention that it's season-less (my sweater is wool but sub it for cashmere for a season-less piece)... it's an offshoot of this outfit but with just a few tiny tweaks.
I get a lot of questions on what is important to have in your closet and what to wear to specific events, but as a woman, you should have a grey cardigan, crisp white shirt, black fitted pants and ballet flats. They are simple basics that can be mixed and matched for a variety of looks or all worn together. Nine times out of ten, when I give suggestions to someone on what to wear to ____ event, if it is not a cocktail party/formal event, I include one of these basic pieces.
What are your must-have basics? Have a fabulous day!
I am loving this classic outfit! You look so professional and put together. I am graduating from college in May, and I have been trying to add more classic pieces in order to build a working wardrobe. I would have never known that was a mens button down until I clicked on the link. It looks great on you!
This is my absolute favorite outfit you have ever posted! I was so surprised to see the white shirt was a men's shirt! Men's shirts always fit me strangely in the shoulders but I will have to try this one! P.S. I mentioned this post on my blog today :)
Sydney, may I ask about your watch? Is it Cartier or will I be lucky and it is something else? It looks like the Cartier that is on my wish list and the exact style watch I am looking for as my MOSTLY EVERYDAY watch.

Your hair is so gorgeous! Could you do a post on how you get it cut and how you style it?
Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous in these photos!
