My 2026 staple pieces

The thing about staple pieces is they won’t be everybody cup of tea. It’s what you make it how you wear it . I Can’t wait to style every piece with an outfit !

4/30 Edited to

... Read moreStaple pieces like those from summer 2016 are truly the foundation of a versatile wardrobe. When I think about brands mentioned such as Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton, I’m reminded how these timeless labels craft pieces that remain stylish season after season. Wearing staple items isn’t about blindly following trends but about adapting each piece to your personal style. For example, a classic black braided accessory or a re-edition handbag can be a striking focal point against casual or dressed-up outfits. From personal experience, incorporating items like these into my daily looks has helped simplify my styling routine while keeping my outfits fresh and unique. You can pair a bold branded piece with basics to keep things balanced or layer staples for a textured, fashionable look. This approach is especially handy during summer when the weather calls for lighter fabrics and breezy silhouettes. Moreover, styling isn’t just about clothes but how you carry yourself with confidence. When you put thought into how staple items reflect your personality and lifestyle, they become more than just functional—they turn into expressions of your identity. So don’t hesitate to experiment and make these classic pieces your own, embracing both comfort and elegance in your fashion journey.

I find every excuse to wear this coat. It's so well made and versatile. I've also had this leather skirt for over 4 years, and it's still just as beautiful. Two of my favorite pieces I know I will have for quite a long time. #fashionfinds #asos #nightoutfits #whattowear #w

Going Analog in 2026
Things I want to do in 2026 to live slower and with less screens- 1. Join a club or small church group - face-to-face conversation and connection feels so lost in the age of social media, and with it, the sense of community. This is my attempt at feeling connected to people instead of screens.

I thrifted this sweater and wasn’t sure if I would even like it but so far I’ve worn it three time all in different styles. One style didn’t get a photo but I love that I can use it to be casual or dressed up. I know I could dress it up more still. I would say this is definitely a win for thrifting

Wearable Summer 2026 Outfit Trends to Try
The most useful summer 2026 trends are less about buying a completely new wardrobe and more about pairing one expressive piece with an easy, wearable base. Try a scarf top with denim Bermudas, a soccer jersey with a lace skirt, a simple tank with a statement skirt, or a romantic blouse with flow

Banana Republic Must Have Pieces
I stopped by Banana Republic to shop for some fall basics, and the selection did not disappoint. They had such a great range of sweaters and denim, all at really reasonable price points—most pieces were under $150. My absolute favorite find was the ’90s mid-rise loose jean. The fit was spot-on,
