10 Rules for Effortless, Everyday Style

In this series, I share some simple tips for leveling up your daily looks.

One wardrobe essential I think everyone needs is a basic white tee. It makes a perfect base to endless outfits, and doesn’t need to be expensive to look good! The one I’m styling today is only $8 from Target (often on sale for $5 or $6!) and I can confidently say it’s better than the $25 ones I’d been buying from Madewell over the years. It also comes in several other colors! For sizing reference, I went up one size from my usual size and really like the slightly oversized fit!

Here are several different ways I personally am styling my basic white tee for fall:

Basic tee / Sweater (size down) / Jeans (size down) / Similar loafers / Similar hat / Wishbone necklace (coming soon)

Basic tee / Skirt (TTS) / Leopard cardigan (TTS) / Oxfords (TTS, but need to be broken in!) / Earrings

Basic tee / Leather jacket (size up) / Skinny jeans (c/o) / Similar ankle boots / Blanket scarf / Earrings
