Back To Basics

Jeans: Wrangler / Top: Cotton On / Pumps: Stella McCartney / Purse, Lace Bra & Earrings: F21 / Eyewear: Karen Walker / Chain Bracelet: SM Accessories

At times, I prefer dressing down to basics. A plain white tank and a pair of denim jeans are a few of the basic wardrobe building blocks that everyone should consider investing on. As funny as it sounds, I actually collect white tank tops -- there's a variety of them displayed inside my closet (I love wearing them under different types of jackets and in this case, on its own). The same goes for jeans. I have them in varying cuts and washes, with indigo pairs being my favorite. This pair of dark wash Hailey jeans from Wrangler is one of my faves. It felt cool against my skin (props to its Cool Max fabric technology!) even if the sun was throwing its hot summer rays upon me. These Cool Max jeans can also help keep you warm and comfortable under a balmy cold weather come rainy season. "Cool", ain't it?

My insatiable love affair with denim jeans continues with this pair of Cool Max Hailey indigos from Wrangler. These Cool Max jeans are pretty cool, both in the literal and figurative sense. The fabric technology in these jeans is specifically engineered to tackle the challenge of constant, sudden and changing weather conditions -- these jeans keep you cool and clean during hot and humid weather and also provides accelerated drying time and insulation effects when it's cold or rainy). Now, styling these jeans was a pretty easy feat. All I had to do was to bring my high heels out and throw on a leather jacket over a random top -- in this case, a vintage rock band tee. Heels and jackets can truly do wonders and this formula always works for me.

P.S. How cute are the heart-shaped peeptoes on my pumps? Very fitting for the upcoming Valentine's, right? :)
