Basic uniform

Whether I'm going out to the shops to grab food or to run errands, basics are the answers to all my outfits. Having an off duty and effortless look is the best way to go. If there was a fashion bible, I think there are 3 main basics that must live in every girls wardrobe.

1. Denim Shorts

Denim shorts are a staple and seasonal piece for the summer. The Sass & Bide shorts I've got have frayed ends and small rips, which makes the shorts different from classic denim shorts. Because the piece itself stands out, it makes the rest of the outfit easier to make up with plain pieces.

2. The Blazer

They say a girl can never own too many shoes but I think one can never own too many blazers (of which I am guilty of both hehe). The blazer is a great piece to take an outfit from casual to smart casual/dressy. Pair with small heels or flats and you've taken your outfit to a whole new level! 

3. Black flats

Not all black flats have to be boring and this season is all about the lace up shoes. Not only are they comfy but the laces on the shoes add detail to the outfit. 

With a nice plain white top and a plain navy blazer, the outfit goes from simple to chic. Roll up the blazer sleeves to give it a more edgy look or to give the outfit more detail. This works especially if the sleeves are too long! Pair the outfit with a nice pair of flats or sandals and your basic uniform will be created.
