BOXED IN

Like many things in life (#boom with the cliche) formulas are key. And with that being said, fashion formulas are especially helpful for putting together outfits in very little time. My go-to formula for spring is as follows ::  bralette + long sleeve tee + vest/jacket. I started this ensemble with the first of the equation, the bralette, which is ultimately the not-so-hidden star of the entire look. I'd say that the most important quality of wearing one of these under a shirt is that there's got to be some design to it. The more unique the front, the cooler it will look with a low cut tee. Instead of opting for one of my regular black bralettes, I chose this Brandy Melville one with the criss cross detail. Not only does it add some dimension itself, it also really brings out the lines of the shirt and vest I popped on top. 

Next I paired this white long sleeve tee from American Apparel on top, and added this crisp white long vest from Zara. I wanted to break up a little of the white and black with an entirely new texture: denim. I just got these amazing high waisted babies from Topshop, and not only are they super comfortable and casual, they're SO FUN to dress up. For shoes, I opted for my SCHUTZ Cadey Lee's, threw my hair up in a double pony, and added a thick black ribbon choker for some more edge.
