skirt | vee neck | shoes | clutch | necklace | bracelet | lipstick
last week was such a hit when i pulled a timeless classic from the archives that i thought it would be fun to share another ootd from the vault. classic style is all about timeless elegance and the notion that many of your closet essentials will last for years.
since i’ve been on a black and white kick lately i thought i would keep the streak going. with a snazzy polka skirt here, here, and here and classically chic vee neck sweater here, here, and here.
accessories keep things looking fresh and modern. so don’t forget to add an on-trend necklace or bracelet into the mix.
a simple clutch elevates an outfit and adds lady-like elegance.
nude pumps go with everything and elongate your leg. who doesn’t want that? here is a pair with a lower heel. and one with a block heel.
a bright shade of lipstick adds a punch. so don’t be afraid to play around with different shades until you find one you love. i’m wearing lana
timeless classics work day in and day out. month after month. and year after year. i guess that’s why i love them and reach for them time and again.

Love everything on that outfit! And now to points regarding it – I love nude color shoes and don’t have any because the ones I like are high heels and don’t feel very confortable on that – I rarely go to places (by car) where I can wear them, (only wear them at church and go by bus) so avoid high heels – but never loose hope of having a pair; I don’t usually wear make up – only mascara to show off my thin eyelashes and lipstick and always have a problem with colors. I’ve tried different ones and never got the ONE. Years ago I bought a wonderful color… but as I wore it so few times it lasts and lasts and when it was over, there were no more of that brand or color. All the others I think are similar, have nothing to do with that!! Keep on trying. Sorry for the length of this comment.XOXO
Hi Beth,
That V-neck line is really flattering! I forget how flattering that line can be, then put one on and Wow! Why don’t I have more C-necklines!!
I am a big fan of v-neck tops and think they are one of the most flattering. Love the polka dot skirt and that bright lipstick on you.
Your new haircut is absolutely adorable! Or maybe you’re just styling it differently? Either way, it’s a great look for you! Cheers!
Wonderful polka dots–who can wear them and not smile? And I like that the v-neck is a bit wider than some–I’m always on the quest for a good wider v-neck sweater, as I think they are very flattering. (I even bought a man’s v-neck cashmere sweater once, as it was a nicer “v” for me.) Classic look.
I am allergic to large polka dots of the black- or navy-and- white variety. Never will I ever wear them. Just can’t. But that’s just me.
