if there is one article of clothing that’s a must-have in my closet it has to be a silk blouse. versatile, practical, and luxurious it’s classified as an urban essential. dress it up with a chic black skirt or pant. or dress it down as in today’s ootd. i’m sporting my trusty blue jeans that came along with me to minneapolis. yesterday, they were paired with a simple navy sweater. today, i’ve replaced the sweater with a silk blouse. loafers, belt and handbag are all that’s needed to polish off this classic look that i could easily refer to as my everyday style. this morning, i’m out the door early as i have a 7:45am pick up. then it’s off to the photo shoot. hopefully, you’re following along with me on snapchat for behind the scenes footage. here’s my handle:
labels: silk blouse c/o The White Label Project; denim Banana Republic; belt Ralph Lauren (similar here and here); loafers Ivanka Trump (similar here and here); sunglasses Prada.
anyone notice my new sunnies? this time i opted for a pair of tortoise shell Prada’s. with my subscription to Ditto i have endless eyewear on rotation. i’ve already picked out my next pair of sunglasses and can’t wait until they arrive. there’s free shipping both ways so it’s easy peasey to spiff up my ootd with a new pair of sunnies. use code styleatacertainage to receive your first month free. here’s the link

I love a white shirt, whether it is silk or cotton. The hard part is finding one that isn’t see-through!!!! You look beautiful as always Beth, good luck on the photo shoot!!!!

I am on the hunt for a classic white button down that fits great and stays good looking most of the day. I guess I need to try silk!
