I recently came across the outfit that @kristincavallari wore and knew I had to recreate it with the clothes in my closet! 

What I like about this outfit is that it’s put together with simple basics but elevated with accessories! It’s super easy to recreate and I bet you have a lot of these pieces in your closet!
