When it comes to dressing quickly, I rely on simple outfit equations that I can throw together without stress. One of these "effortless equations" that I come back to time and time again is a structured blazer, t-shirt and jeans. For a stroll through one of my favorite Brooklyn neighborhoods this weekend, I pulled out just this formula and felt comfortable and put-together from coffee to dinner.

Break Up A Monochromatic Look With Accessories

Monochromatic dressing is one of the easiest ways to make simple pieces look luxe. While this no-fail combination has been said to elongate the body, make it look slimmer and make anything look chicer, it can also feel boring if you aren't careful. With this cautionary tale in hand, I like to break up monochrome outfits with fun accessories that keep the look from putting me to sleep. Case in point is this light and airy look I wore during my time in Charleston.

When I packed for this trip, I brought along my never fail monochromatic basics that I can mix and match for endless possibilities. To save on suitcase space and help extend the longevity of these pieces, I also packed my favorite accessories including statement necklaces, belts and scarves. For this look, I applied this no-fail formula for dressing and paired my favorite cotton long sleeve t with matching midi skirt. To break up the top and bottom and make it look more like a dress, I cinched the waist with one of my favorite brown belts. To add interest to the plain t, I threw on my favorite statement necklace that features the same shade of navy as the top and skirt. To finish it all off, I wore my super comfortable ballet flats.

Being originally from Florida, there are few things I love more than a good late afternoon storm. There's just something about how the world seems to shift before a downpour that I can't get enough of. While we were in Charleston, I was lucky enough to have a day just like that and I soaked it all in while exploring even more of the city. When we awoke, the forecast predicted rain and all day the air was breezy and warm while the clouds gathered above. To suit the impending storm, I wore my go-to long sleeve cotton t and chino shorts. To jazz up the look I added my favorite statement belt, vintage nautical print scarf and handy clutch. For footwear, I would have preferred sandals or rainboots but because I only had a few pairs of shoes with me, I opted for my super comfortable loafers instead.

Charleston is absolutely beautiful. From the achingly perfect architecture to the impeccable landscaping, the entire city is a perfect blend of classic and romantic. I was so inspired by this mix that I couldn't help but channel it with a light and airy look featuring one of my favorite skirts.

I packed this light pink silk skirt in lieu of my plaid skirt when the forecast predicted sun and heat, and I couldn't have been happier once I arrived in the Low Country. To dress down the otherwise dressy skirt, I paired it with a striped cotton t. To tie the whole look together I threw on my trusty Brooks Brothers blazer adorned with some of my favorite vintage brooches. For footwear I wore simple ballet flats that kept me comfortable strolling on the sidewalks and cobblestones alike, and carried by J. Crew crossbody bag for handsfree navigation.
