This week we are stealing Lauren Conrad’s easy breezy California style and giving it an upgrade! Start with a simple knit dress like this one from Burberry Brit. The draping in the front gives the dress a little more detail but you can still throw it on and run out the door. A cashmere cardigan sweater like this one from Vince is seasonal essential and the perfect transition piece. When it came to shoes we love Conrad’s gladiators but opted for these dressier Joie Lattice Lace-Up Sandals. Considering the dress and sweater are basics the shoes really take the outfit to a new level. A simple piece of jewelry is all you need for bling. Zoe Chicco has a beautiful selection of necklaces to fit the bill. A crossbody bag with the option of handles like this Alexander Wang duffle is detailed with edgy studs on the bottom to give it a tougher look. Throw on a pair of Illesteva black and white classic sunglasses and you have a simple yet chic outfit.
