His & Her Elevated Wardrobe Basics

This post is in collaboration with Mott & Bow, but all thoughts and views are my own.

As I get older & really start to find out what my sense of style really is, I often just find myself reaching for what’s comfortable–some great basics that include a good pair of jeans & a simple & comfortable top.

Mott & Bow has so many great options that fit seamlessly into my wardrobe, starting with these mom jeans (I did cut mine because Iā€™m a shortie!) and this cashmere raglan crew sweater. They’re both SO comfy & mix & match with the other items in my closet so well. This is my first cashmere sweater & it is SO soft and I am looking forward to wearing it in almost every season!

Quick reminder: I will link everything I can at the bottom of the post, if it is unavailable I do my best to find similar options. I do use affiliate links which means if you order using these links I make a small commission at no additional cost to you. Thanks! šŸ™‚

My husband is also a jeans and simple top guy– as he was trying on his slim fit jeans, he was amazed at how remarkably comfortable they were and that they had the perfect amount of stretch. He’s worn them multiple times now & says they are his best fitting jeans and his favorite to wear. He also loves the feel of the cashmere crew bergen sweater. It’s a great piece for fall, winter & spring and so incredibly lightweight & soft to the touch. The black is classic & will go with everything!

Their mission is to bring high quality clothing to their customers at a reasonable price point & they have great options for elevating the basics in your wardrobe.

How to Style Sock Booties (Sustainable brand Vivaia Shoes Review)

Vivaia is a brand that reached out to me about trying their sustainably made shoes. After researching them & finding out more about their company, I decided to give them a try! All views are my own and the shoes were gifted to me by Vivaia.

If you prefer video content, check out my fun reel HERE!

The number one great thing I was excited to learn about Vivaia is that their shoes are made with recycled plastic water bottles & ethically sourced wool (even the packaging that they send the shoes in is 100% recycled materials!). I was SO impressed with that fact, & even more so when I received the shoes & they were incredibly comfortable! A good portion of their shoes are even made to be machine washable which is also so convenient (unfortunately this pair is not because of the heel).

I chose the Zoe wool round-toe boots in my regular size (you just use their size chart to convert your US size to your EU size) and the color tan russet. It’s a beautiful brownish grey & it’s the perfect color that goes with just about anything (this pair is on sale right now for $83 and my code ma18 can get you an extra 18% off!).

Viviaia has a ton of shoe options on their site– boots, mules, loafers, flats, heels, sneakers, etc, and they also carry men’s shoes. Vivaia is considered a competitor of Rothys’ shoes, which I can’t speak to or review because I don’t own a pair, but they both are made for comfort & out of recycled materials. If you are interested in trying a pair of sustainably made shoes, Vivaia’s shoes start around $99, which is more affordable than Rothys are. They also seem to have more style options than Rothys.

All in all, I would definitely recommend Vivaia shoes to anyone looking for style, comfort, & sustainability. I’m looking forward to contining to wear and style my Zoe sock boots and to continue to support this brand!

I have styled these extremely versatile boots 3 different ways below. Most of my outfits are older pieces, but I will link similar options to what I’m wearing if you want to try to recreate look. I use affiliate links which means I earn a small commission if you purchase anything using my link, and it will be no additional cost to you. Thanks for your support! šŸ™‚

Look number 1: A mockneck, cardigan & straight leg jeans.
This look is casual & comfy. I LOVE that these sock boots tuck perfectly into straight leg jeans. Makes them look so chic.

Look number 2: A mini boho dress.
The color of these boots pairs perfectly with black & I love that the taller shaft adds interest to an otherwise simple dress look.

Look number 3: A flowy top & skinny jeans.
The shaft of these boots is tight enough that they pair so well with skinny jeans too! Love that! Dress it up with a flowy blouse & you’ve got yourself a cute night out look.

A Neutral Shirt Worn 3 Ways

This taupe button front shirt has been one of my most worn tops this fall. It’s so easy to style, so comfy & I ordered a neutral color so it works perfectly with so much in my wardrobe. I did a reel styling it (you can see it here) earlier this fall. I plan to wear it SO MUCH as we head into winter as well. Maybe I’ll need to do another styling session styling it as it gets cooler out.

Here are the three ways I styled it:

This is obviously super casual (& since this, I have gotten some skin colored no-show socks, HA!) & comfy. I would even add a baseball cap and maybe a long coat to make this even cuter!

The hat & sock booties are fun additions to dress this top up. I paired them with my favorite levi wedgie skinny jeans (sold out in this wash, but so many other washes available!).

A midi floral skirt & mules are always so fun. I love this printed one with this top!

Which of these three ways do you think you’d wear? My favorite is with the jeans, sock booties, and hat!
