Over the last year I’ve really gotten into basic tops. The combination of not going many places and favoring comfort/practicality has lead me to take a deep dive and try out several basic tops. Everything from tanks to long sleeves and I’ve found nine that I consider wardrobe staples and wear all. the. time. Seriously – people are probably sick of me talking about them and wearing them but when I find things I love I want to share them. I’m breaking them all down below.

Happy February! We made it through January, which arguably always feels like the longest month of the year. I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for warmer weather. I know I live in Southern California and can’t really complain too much about a frigid winter, but spring sounds really nice right now. Keeping two toddlers inside when it’s rainy/cold/windy is not an easy job. My hat goes off to everyone who has to do it in colder climates. Anyway, today I’m sharing February’s wardrobe staples.

Happy Friday! We’re currently experiencing a little heatwave (it’s supposed to be 80 degrees today) so I’m excited for a weekend spent outside. This week I styled the Old Navy joggers from my monthly staples five different ways. Truthfully it was a little warm to wear them much outside of the house so most of the looks are centered around comfort. Hope you have a great weekend!

I’m so excited to kick off my first week of my new monthly staple series. This is something I’ve been wanting to start for awhile but decided to wait until the new year to really dive in. Each week I will choose one of my monthly staples to style five ways. First up is the Madewell York Half-Zip Sweater. I love this sweater, it’s such a great wardrobe staple for winter. It comes in two other colors (gray and amber) and I honestly think they’re all equally versatile. I went with the blush because not only do I love the color, but I thought it would be fun to style with so much – winter whites, blacks, jeans, etc.

2020 was the year that really changed the way I shop. Instead of buying trendy stand out pieces I’ve gone back to basics and curated a wardrobe of staples that I reach for over and over again. I found the holes in my closet and filled them with what I know I need and will wear. A lot of last year was spent in leggings and lounge wear, but I found just by having the right items getting dressed was fun. This year is starting out the same – meaning I’m not shopping for dresses, heels, or statement-y pieces. Which is why I wanted to start this series sharing staples I’ve chosen for the month and plan to style multiple ways.

I’ve always loved a sleeveless sweater and think they can be some of the most practical tops in my closet. Even though they’re sleeveless they’re a bit thicker and are really easy to layer over. Perfect for chillier months and still fine in the summer with bare arms.
