What do you love about essentials and/or a basic white tee?

I think wardrobe staples like a classic white tee are essential for a versatile and sustainably minded wardrobe. A basic white tee is simple yet powerful in putting together endless combinations with all the other items in your closet. Wardrobe essentials are like that friend you can always count on.

How do you know when your outfit is put together, and you're ready to go out?

It totally depends. Some days when I'm getting ready, I feel like I nail it right away, and other days I feel off and like I can't find a combination of things that feel good. On those days, I typically come back to a good pair of jeans or trousers, a basic tank or tee, and a cool jacket or blazer. Also, I never underestimate the power of accessories. Sometimes the whole look comes together in the final details of jewelry, sunglasses, or a handbag.
