Everyone always says that a major staple in a women's closet is the perfect skinny black jean. While I totally agree with that statement, I also feel that a perfect skinny white jean is necessary and useful, especially in the summer months.

White is a classic, timeless and classy color, so why shouldn't we wear more of it, especially in one of the most comfortable and versatile garments: jeans! While we're getting dressed in the morning, we don't really think to pair a cool tee or a statement blouse with white jeans. We either pick a classic black pair or a specific washed denim.

However, instead of throwing on my classic pair of jeans that I normally would wear with any top, I chose to stick to a white (old) pair and for this outfit post, I wore two different tops with the same pair of trousers and the same boots. This way, you can see how just a different top can change the look of a staple item as a full outfit!

      We're all holding onto the final days of summer as if they are our last. I'm not saying to bring out full Autumn looks just yet, but it's time to think about transitioning your wardrobe...slowly.  When I came across these light wash ripped jeans, I had to give them a try and luckily they were the perfect fit! Since it's technically still summer, I paired the look with a casual relaxed fit v-neck tee and to polish it up, I held a structured tote. To finish off my outfit, I wore heeled sandals that have distressed block heels since the rugged look complimented the jeans.
      For my second look I wanted to show how this outfit can be transitioned easily for Fall by pairing it with a knit sweater. If it's a little chilly or you want to layer, you can even throw on a leather jacket over a t-shirt, but in the end it's what works for you.

I raided my grandmothers' closet last week and discovered really cool statement pieces that are all timeless, unique and trendy. I specifically found an outdated maxi dress that cut off at an awkward length but I was obsessed with the soothing color scheme and its cool floral print. So, I decided to cut it and make it into a shorter dress and with the excess fabric, I created a strapless blouse and attached a suede tie in the back to add something sexy yet classy to it. 

Finding old clothes and creating something new with it is something I love to do. No one else has this top, it's comfortable, it's dressy, it's flattering and it's seductive without being too showy. Although a garment may look weird at first, try imagining something different with it. Cut it, add fringes, make it distressed, dye it, paint on it - the possibilities are endless! Raid through your mom's closet, go thrifting or pick out old pieces from your wardrobe and do something dope with it!

Denim skirts are back. I swapped out ripped cut offs and I now consider this mini to be the newest staple in my closet. It was hard to find the ideal denim skirt since I wanted it to be frayed, ripped, the perfect color and the perfect length. Although a vintage Levi's is what came to my mind prior to finding the one I'm wearing, I came across this a few months ago at Zara and instantly fell in love. This store never fails to satisfy my fashion craves and with it's normal price range, it makes it easy for the outfits in my mind to come to life! For days where it's too hot to wear jeans or for days I'm not really feeling shorts (I hate walking and having to pull them down), I throw this on and I instantly feel like my 10 year old girly self (yet in a more sophisticated way, of course).

For a casual day, I paired this mini with a classic crisp white tee, which is now my favorite shirt I own and only cost $19, score. I mixed metals by wearing a clay bag with a silver chain, black heeled boots with a silver zipper, a gold watch and silver framed sunglasses. Plus, I wore a matte silver vintage choker, which was once my moms' belt.

To make this look more nighttime, I can easily throw on a leather jacket or a blazer and call it a day. And this is why I call a denim skirt a staple piece - it can be dressed up or down.

With March's weather being unpredictable and the weeks changing from Spring and back to Winter, I was able to take out this poncho for the very last time (hopefully -- I just want summer already!) I bought this piece at Zara a while ago and I must say, it's one of my favorite statement pieces in my closet at the moment. The orange, burgundy and navy color scheme is unique and aesthetically pleasing and although the sleeves are short, it keeps me fairly warm.

To keep the look simple, I paired it with leather leggings and black heeled boots but to add another neutral pop, I wore a clay colored bag. I highly recommend getting a statement piece like a poncho since it's easy to throw on and super comfortable! Shop below:
