It’s May! How is that even possible? Time is flying by and I’m not that ok with it.
Ok, time to talk about the classics…
If you can’t tell by now, I’m not super into trends. Sure, I’ll play around with accessories, shoes and bags. But overall, I like to keep my style pretty classic. Most of the clothes I feature on the blog are tried and true. They’re pieces that I’ve lived in and loved throughout the years, and I want to share the wealth because I think you’ll love them, too.
I bought this jacket from J Crew 5 years ago, and I wear it ALL THE TIME. It’s a 3 season jacket (and maybe even 4, if you live in Chicago). It’s made from water-resistant waxed cotton, which means it’s super durable and will stand up to gross spring weather. It’s been a total staple in my closet. (And J Crew calls it the “quintessential cool-girl jacket, so there you go.)
J Crew is the perfect place to find classics. Some of the pieces can get pretty pricey, but they often have great sales. Also, I love J Crew Factory. It’s my go-to place for tees, denim shorts + jewelry. Cus mama likes a deal.
If you follow me on Insta, you’ve witnessed my love for the new + updated Converse kicks. Well, the love fest continues. If you’ve loved your Chucks for years but haven’t tried this updated, more feminine version, it’s time. You will LOVE them. And, they slip on. YES.
I’m just not sure you can get more classic than a white tee + denim. And a Yorkie. <3
Here’s to a wonderful week!

Now that I plan on not having more babies for at least a while, I’m looking to build my wardrobe with more quality basics that I’ll love for a long time – this is such a great place to start!
Thanks, Morgan! Quality basics are totally the way to go 🙂
Classics never fail and its good to always have a few tried and true pieces

You look adorable! I love how classic, and laid back this look is! 🙂
Perfect comfy/casual look!
Have the same jacket from jcrew and wear it all the time! Love seeing stuff I actually own on such a cool girl blog 😉 Seems like we have similar styles, and its also fun to see things I may not have gravitated to be used in that same style. Thanks!
So cute!! I love that combo. I always forget about JCrew.
Love a good pair of Converse! This is so cute =)
Great (classic) outfit! I love what I can find at J Crew & J Crew Factory, too, and love it when those classics become favorites and pieces you can count on!
Such a fabulous look! I love that jacket!

Oh I love that jacket!! And, I’m excited to check out the shoes too!! Thanks for sharing, gorgeous mama!!
I love that jacket. My sister has the exact same one and I often try to borrow it from her closet. Love your look!
I probably own Chuck Taylors in every possible color. They’re so timeless and comfy!
This is my approach to dressing as well…I love classics. You can find me in pretty much an identical outfit the one you featured on any given day! I love this jacket, thanks for sharing!
I’m thinking about getting a pair of Shorelines… I love classic clothing items!!! Do you wear socks with yours? I have sweaty feet so I don’t want to make them stinky.?? do they slip off in the back? Too tight? Too loose?
Hi! I love my Shorelines. I always wear the little socks that you can’t see – to avoid the whole stinky feet thing 🙂 Mine don’t slip off in the back. They fit perfectly! I hope that helps! xo
