In my experience, the building blocks of a well-executed, simple outfit come down to excellent individual pieces. In this case, it’s a semi-sporty half zip that is extra soft and warm, plus loose-fit black jeans (that I’ve been searching so long to find!) and smart sneakers. It’s hard to see in the photo, but I wore this with some chunky hoops and two gold necklaces for a pop of bling amongst the simple pieces.
