ISO Elevated Basics... Style Inspo

ANewMindset

I am looking for some style inspiration! I have a ton of basics but would like some inspiration on how to put together more interesting elevated looks. This is a perfect example. I have all of these components and felt great when i copied this look:

Seconding kk - any "outfit formula" post is bound to give you a lot of inspiration.

FWIW, you're in good shape w/mostly basics I will trot out my favorite quote from Michael Kors:
“Seventy per cent of the clothes you own should be meat and potatoes. Thirty per cent should be icing and fluff – that’s colour, pattern, shine, accessories. Too many women get the proportions the other way round, then can’t figure out why they can’t get dressed.”

That is a great look. I especially like that the cargos were rolled to have these trendy proportions with refined high shaft booties, but could also be worn long for a different but still on trend look (perhaps with sneakers). Now I need some!

You might get some inspiration from Amy Smilovic/Tibi, if you aren’t already following (she’s come up several times on the forum). Her pieces are a specific take on basics (oversized, pricy) but I enjoy her take: https://instagram.com/amysmilo.....MyMTA2M2Y=

ANewMindSet, that is a great look. I agree with the suggestions above. Angie has lots of outfit ideas for basics.

Suntiger, I would use olive green boots as a basic.
