I had plans to head out for a dinner and a movie. Layering for a cold evening, I started to put my casual outfit together. I started with an H&M top & jacket, Uniqlo vest, and a leopard scarf. Not to be too matchy-matchy, but I guess I am, wearing a French Connection leopard clutch and keeping it neutral with my Madewell skinny skinny jeans and Mossimo booties, and my new Eugenia Kim hat that I got earlier in the day at Urban Outfitters at Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica. We went for sushi at one of our favorite spots on the Westside, which is Hara Sushi in Brentwood. Then, headed to watch Night at the Museum 3 at the Century City Mall. Whether you’re layering or not, or wearing them as separates; these are basic pieces that everyone should have in their closet. Basic pieces are easy to combine, mix and match and allows you to create various outfits for different occasions.
