jeans and a white t-shirt

one of the most basic combinations of clothes and this is by far my favorite, is jeans and a white t-shirt.  this combination is like owning a toothbrush.  everyone should have these two items, if you don't well go get them for heavens sake. 
jeans, whether that be skinny, boot leg, flair, or straight leg, it doesn't really matter to me, but your favorite pair of jeans is like an old friend.  i have my favorites, this is plural because it depends on what i am doing to determine which favorite pair i am going to wear.  i have two pairs of skinnies, but one i like better than the other.  when i wear flat shoes i have one pair that i like better, my david kahns with the inverted pleat pocket, so comfy and cute.  if i am going to throw on some heels well then i have several pairs but one i pull out over and over, these have a spider web design in the front pocket, how cool is that?!

when you add a white t-shirt, long or short sleeve, to your favorite jeans it can look really casual especially with a pair of sneakers or flip flops.  however, the same pair of jeans and white tee can be transformed into a snazzy outfit with different shoes, jewelry, a scarf, or a blazer.  there is an art to just the right accessories and not over doing it, but i don't know that art.  so i forgo the jewelry and blazer and stick to shoes and scarves.  this seems to be my "go-to" outfit.  it is simple, always looks pulled together, can be casual or snazzy, and i know it fits.  needless to say i go through a lot of white t-shirts, but really these should be repurchased every season, it is a staple.
