Want to take the No Brainer Wardrobe Course? 

This is my kind of wardrobe. I want simple, fuss-free, hard-working, well-made, classic pieces. When I sit down to make a list of every outfit you could create from this base, it seems unlimited! I’m sure there is some permutation junkie who could tell me exactly, but let’s just say when I sat down to list outfits I could pick out, it felt like I was playing Boggle! I kept finding outfits and every single time it felt like a tiny thrill of mining gold from seemingly few choices. Madewell makes it easy.

First, these are the pieces I chose.

12 super simple, easy fitting, easy wearing items.

The great thing? Even though these are from Madewell, I’m fairly certain you already have at least a few similar items in your closet. And, you can fill in the holes with less expensive options from discount stores, if you’d like.

Here are just SOME of the outfits I jotted down to get your thoughts going:

  1. black skinnies + grey tee
  2. black skinnies + grey tee + outbound jacket
  3. black skinnies + chambray
  4. black skinnies + green knit tee + chambray (unbuttoned)
  5. black skinnies + flannel + grey cardi
  6. black skinnies + embroidered tee
  7. black skinnies + silk blouse
  8. black skinnies + silk blouse + embroidered tee (to add a bit of length and texture)
  9. blue skinnies + embroidered tee + grey cardi
  10. blue skinnies + chambray w/ sleeves rolled up + embroidered tee
  11. blue skinnies + flannel + striped sweater
  12. blue skinnies + workshirt + grey cardi
  13. blue skinnies + green knit tee + workshirt (unbuttoned) + grey cardi
  14. blue skinnies + workshirt + striped sweater + olive jacket
  15. blue skinnies + flannel + olive jacket  ….. and TONS of other layering possibilities

I’ll head into Madewell and try some of these pieces on in the fitting room soon. I’ll tag it with #nobrainerwardrobe and throw it on Instagram. Do you see any other interesting combinations? The girls at Madewell helped me think of a whole bunch more than I even wrote down. The thing with layers is, take chances!!

Don’t forget to check out our post on staying organized this fall, too!
