part two of my fall basics series, some great picks and alternatives for all items! details after the jump!

the white oxford button down. it is the ultimate preppy--Ralph Lauren style. it's clean. it can be worn year-around. and it goes with everything! definitely a staple for every closet.

for spring/summer, i would pair it with some chino shorts, Keds canvas sneakers, and top it off with a straw fedora. here i've dressed it up for fall with skinny jeans and a pair of taupe suede booties. i always like to add a statement necklace and earrings for an extra feminine touch. other great options for this top in the fall/winter include: riding boots, over the knee boots, vests, blazers, and a floppy hat!

and finally... after months of being in the dust bag, my navy Celine micro luggage tote makes a debut in a blog post! i felt it matched so well, especially with the white and taupe color scheme.
