So this outfit is composed of pretty basic pieces; a solid sweater, jeans, a tank, and flats. The key to making something so cookie cutter look unique is to wear pieces with unusual details-- look for 'eye candy'. The crocheted detailing on the sweater is perfect example of this. It keeps the outfit very natural looking without being boring. Another way to make a basic outfit interesting is by using unusual color combinations. I used very neutral colors in this one: beige, brown (flats) and dark wash denim. Pretty boring. I felt that the top needed a little bit of saturation, so I added an unexpected pop of purple underneath. This is a perfect everyday outfit and it's easy to put on in the morning. It's really nothing more than what most people wear on a daily basis. A couple layered tops and jeans, easy right?
