Five Transitional Wardrobe Staples Worth Investing In

I always look forward to Shopbop’s bi-annual spend and save as a great opportunity to get a little spendy on some classic wardrobe basics – I figure if you’re going to invest in your wardrobe, you might as well do it while there’s a sale on.

My Style Story

Nine times out of ten, I tend to favour a no frills approach to styling, and a denim skirt is such a great blank canvas for the rest of an outfit, and has become my summer equivalent to a well fitting pair of jeans.
