Basics.

Black, white, taupe. Lather, rinse, repeat. If you want the secret to easy-chic dressing, just stick to these basics. Like this chic black mini (Equipment, $250).

Rounded out with these single-soled heeled sandals (Joie, $255) and this horn-handled hobo ($268 — it’s from J. Crew, but I swear that people will ask where it’s from and whether it’s Gucci!)

Other options: an adorable clutch ($175), simple black shirt-dress ($25), great nude sandals (Pour La Victoire, on sale for $175), black-and-tan purse ($390), Nars lipstick ($26 — color: Heat Wave) and bronzer ($36; color: Casino), white cropped blouse (Joie, on sale for $118), black denim cut-offs (Rag + Bone, $143), Ray-Bans ($155), black gladiators (Ancient Greek, $165), Byredo perfume (loveee the packaging, $145)
