I realized that this outfit from the other day is a perfect example of my tried + true, go-to outfit. Black beret, comfy blouse & pencil skirt, tights, and some shoe with my all time favorite heel-height (2 1/2", thankyouverymuch).
Blouse - Boden
Skirt - Nordstrom house brand
Tights - Target
Bag - Vintage

It's perfect for book-shopping. It's perfect for anything!
