I’ve been consolidating my closet more and more these days. Long gone are the days when I’d buy a dress or top just to wear out on a Friday night, or the It bag of the season. Now I love to buy pieces that will get a lot of wear, whether it’s a neutral-toned bag, a pair of jeans or a go-to little black dress. If I don’t think I can get multiple uses out of it, I won’t buy it. I purchased this striped blouse a few months ago and I’ve been wearing it with everything. I mean, it really goes with everything! I’ve paired it with business suits, jeans, fashion dresses, leather skirts, casual pants and more. I’m working on a feature on how to wear it several different ways, so stay tuned for that! In the meantime, check out how I paired it with this printed, pleated skirt! Although I’m not a huge dog lover (cats are more my thing), this bulldog printed skirt (with pockets- who doesn’t love a skirt with pockets?!) was just too cute to pass up!

Do you pass up trendy pieces in favor of classic items?
