I’m in my minimal era when it comes to clothes. I’m prioritizing quality, natural fibers, and classic looks over fast fashion. Here are the pieces that have been working well for me!

Tops
No polyester tops for me anymore! Breathable, natural fibers in classic designs are much more up my alley. Here are the pieces in my wardrobe. Quite affordable!
A good quality 100% linen button up like this is a staple in my closet. Wear it closed for a polished look, or open with a tank underneath for a layering piece that creates so many looks. I love that this is thick and still looks new after several wa...

Where I live, an investment WARM parka like this is a non negotiable in the winter. I’ve had my north face one for 6 winters now and it’s still good as new!

Bottoms
Breathable fabrics are so important for bottoms! Here are my favorites.
I love old navy jeans! They’re so adorable even without the sales - but they’re always on sale! These are made of a majority cotton blend, with some other fabrics so they’re comfortable! I like my Old Navy jeans for every day, but especially when I’...
High-Waisted Wow Wide-Leg Jeans | Old Navy
These linen pants are so breathable and chic in the summer. I feel like they’re not as see through as other linen pants I’ve tried on!
Linen-Blend Relaxed Wide-Leg Pants | Gap
Now these are THE investment Jean in my opinion. They fit great and have fits for regular, tall, and petite - not just inseam differences. That means they curve with your proportions! 99% cotton and just 1% elastic so they don’t have a ton of stretch...
High Rise Stride Wide-Leg Jeans | Gap
Accessories
Accessories are the #1 category where I believe you need to “buy nice or buy twice”. If you have a high quality, classic, and timeless piece, there’s no need to keep buying!
I love my Tabby 20! It’s small enough to be worn as a clutch or small shoulder bag for nicer occasions, but it does also have a longer strap for cross body wear if needed! This is my fav bag for literally any time I don’t have the kids - even formal ...
Tabby Shoulder Bag 20
I love my Brooklyn 34! I have organizers that I throw in so I can use it as a personal purse, toddler snack holder, and a diaper bag for my newborn all at once. It’s so trendy and effortlessly chic. Slouchy, but not too slouchy and not too “tote-y”. ...
Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 34
I have the 21k version of this from my local jeweler, but trust — if you get a few pieces of solid gold simple jewelry, you won’t ever have to buy other pieces! Dress up or down. I like this rope one (u have medium thickness) because it’s not so dain...
I just keep these on 24/7. I think they’re a great investment pieces. So comfy and can be fancy or casual!
14K Solid Gold Diamond Hoop Earring, Natural Genuine Diamond, Sung fit for Ear Piercing Cartilage Helix Tragus Rook Huggie Ring Jewelry Gift
Shoes
Comfort & quality > quantity. To be honest, having tons of shoes doesn’t interest me. I’d rather have some that feel good, uphold a lot of wear, and match with lots of outfits.
100% leather, super comfortable basic white sneaker. I love a simple white shoe like this because it goes with everything from jeans to a summery dress. Obviously, with a toddler and a newborn I need to be comfortable so these are my most worn shoe!
100% Leather Everyday Sneaker in White
I don’t wear heels often, but when I do I like these closed toe block heels with a supportive ankle strap. I have the nude color so they go with everything, and that way I don’t need a ton of heels!
Aldo Jan Pump
We get tons of snow in my area, but I didn’t want a dedicated snow boot. So, I got these. They’re comfy from fall through spring, the sole makes it easy for me to walk in snow without my feet getting wet or cold. Plus Docs are known to be a “buy for ...
Dr. Martens Sanguine Chelsea Bootie - Women's
Love them or hate them, clogs are a great quick slip on and go shoe for busy people! Whether you need to take your dog out, let the kids play outside, grab mail or packages, take out the trash, run errands, or even just be comfortable in general, the...
