Sorry to the Basics in My Closet—These J.Crew and Nordstrom Finds Could End You

I love the idea of wearing a thin belt over this poncho.

Not low-rise, just lower rise.

I desperately need a pair of everyday black pumps, and I know I'd reach for these constantly.

Meet my new designer obsession.

With corporatecore on the rise, I suddenly need a sheath dress in my closet.

Three words: dream leather jacket.

Absolutely divine.

Gray is set to replace black as the It neutral in 2024, and I'm starting with these classic trousers.

Boxy blazers, you're getting the boot. Hello to beautiful sculpted styles.

Oversize earrings may be trending right now, but I'm craving the simplicity of thin hoops again.

A bomber jacket that feels very 2024.

My white Sambas were easily my most worn pair of shoes in 2023, so when I spotted this of-the-moment burgundy pair magically in stock in my size, I didn't even think twice before ordering a pair. 

A perfect touch of Western.

Collarbones are on display in 2024.

I'm slowly but surely switching over all my jewelry staples to silver this year.

To me, you are perfect.

This shape is something else.

If you're ahead of the curve, you're already shopping brown corduroys.

Can you tell that Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy is on my mood board?

Everything this brand makes is just so good.

The micro belt is giving me '90s Prada energy.

They honestly look designer.

Because black tights are so last year.

Perfectly boxy.

Straight jeans are quite literally the backbone of my wardrobe.

You can never have enough cool belts.

Pencil skirts are quickly replacing maxis in my wardrobe.

More suede in 2024.

Comfy, minimal, and a little sexy—everything I want in a little black top.
