Living in New York has taught me a plethora of things, but on the sartorial front, I’ve figured out that my wardrobe can fully-function around a few black basics. A great pair of black jeans, a few pairs of black pumps (New York literally consumes shoes), a black tailored blazer, a black vest, a fabulous black handbag, and a pair of chic black sunnies. I mean, really… Do you need anything else? While we’re on the topic of vests, I hope you’re a vest kind of girl because I have a feeling I’m going to be wearing this one all season long. And then in the summer, too. And probably in the fall. It’s that good. And its under $30!
As for another closet staple, these black suede, pointed-toe, d’orsay pumps are perfect for city dwellers. They have a pretty low heel so walking around all day isn’t a problem at all! I absolute;y love the pointed toe and the interior cut-out, too.

Really love the camo top! You’re brave to attempt heels all day in the city.
I love this whole look. I think that camo blouse is so perfect and I love that you made it look so feminine with the accessories. I may need to scoop that up!

Black basics are always key. Love the vest.
What a cute and casual look! This is something myself would absolutely wear as well!
Loooooove those pumps, especially being a heavy walker + living in the city shoes basically dissipate overnight on me. I may have to splurge and invest in these because they truly are the perfect height!

I am so digging this look! I’ve been in love with camo this and last season, and I like how you girled it up with the pumps! The D’Orsay silhouette is so exciting and different — I’m excited about getting my hands on some soon!

I actually have a similar vest and never thought to wear it casually – so thanks for the idea ๐ And those d’orsay black pumps are perfect!

I love this combination of edgy heels and a fun camo top, and you can’t go wrong with affordable! I think I will have to go pick up a vest to create an outfit like this. Thanks for the inspiration!
