My goal is to create outfits during this weird, WFH season is to create outfits that work just as well now as they will later.  This classic combination is just that kind of outfit.  It’s perfect for spring or fall.  And most of us have these pieces in out closet already.

Shirt. Chico’s Roll Tab Sleeve Tunic ($90) // Don’t count Chico’s out for well-made classic pieces.  This roll-tab tunic is a great casual piece.  I also like the look of this Knit Back tunic.  Sizes run from misses to plus, and can run a little big.

For a more relaxed look, I recommend this Madewell drapey oversize tunic.  For a different color, try this striped tunic from Ruth.

Jeans. Madewell Toothpick Jean in Fresh Water ($128) //  I don’t usually go for the lighter washes, but they’re very trendy this year.  So if you want a fresh take on denim — straight out of the late 80s — this trend might be for you.  They also come in tall and petite.

Madewell also has a slightly darker wash called Glacier Lake that’s a bit more palatable.  I also like these raw hem jeans from Frame.  And for the plus-size ladies, try these Seven7 jeans from Lane Bryant.

Shoes. Cole Haan Red Dahlia Flats ($80) // A colored flat is a wonderful way to add a pop of color to an outfit.  Red is a foolproof choice with a simple outfit like this.  These red flats from Frye are also worth a look.

Want another color?  Try coral, or green, or cobalt.  Wide feet?  Try these Trotter’s flats.

Bag. Steve Madden Harlo Hobo Bag ($50) // This hobo bag is a wonderfully relaxed option.  I chose something with a little more structure than the inspiration image.  If you want a slouchier hobo bag, try this Aubre Knotted Bag or this Ebon hobo bag.

Sunglasses. Ted Baker Cat Eye Sunnies ($45) // Tortoise oversized sunglasses are a fabulous option for most face shapes.  These Ted Baker sunglasses are cool.  These discounted Gucci sunglasses and these affordable Vince Camuto sunglasses also caught my eye.

Jewelry. Club Monaco Textured Bangle ($50) and Sterling Forever Pave Hoops ($33) //  How fantastic is this bangle bracelet?  I love the textured edges.  So chic.  Club Monaco has fantastic jewelry.  It’s all fashion forward but still timeless.  This bangle bracelet and resin link earring are just phenomenal.

Sterling Forever is the brand to look into if you need classic pieces.  These pave hoops are lovely.  And the brand stocks a lot of great basics at <$50 prices.  These huggie open hoop earrings are fabulous.
