good basics – Page 3 – Marissa Wears an Outfit

January 24, 2024 No Comments

I’ve been sick for almost a full week and I’m finally starting to feel a bit better! I seemed to get a few sicknesses on top of each other, so it made it all a bit more difficult. My husband ended up catching some of it too, so we’ve been resting on the couch as much as possible while our children rule the house 😉

Needless to say, I don’t have any new outfits from the past week, but I do have outfits from the week before that I’ll share!

As always, I will link each outfit under each picture. I do use affiliate links, this just means that if you choose to purchase using one of my links, I earn a small commission, at no additional cost to you. I appreciate the support as it helps me run this blog and to keep sharing style inspiration!

I have been really into this bright/lime green since the summer & have bought multiple pieces in this color. I recently saw that it is Stitch Fix’s color of the year as well!

Cozy sweatpants are a go-to for me in the cold winter months. I love pairing them with a sweater & my Birkenstock clogs.

I know there’s a lot of chatter about skinny jeans being “out”, but I l’ve kept all of mine. Admittedly, I don’t wear them as often as my other styles of jeans, but you just can’t beat the comfiness of a pair of skinny jeans and boots with an oversized sweater!

An oversized crewneck & leggings is the perfect outfit for a snowy day. Pair it with comfy slippers and you’ve got a big win.

I’m super into green lately! I’ve always loved it, but I’m really loving pairing different shades together.

I finally found a great denim jacket that works well for petites. This one falls at a perfect spot & has a comfy amount of stretch to it.

This was a comfy outfit to wear under my shoe clothes while cross country skiing.

Another green on green look— this vest is so good and I’ve worn it a ton this winter!

We went cross-country skiing for my birthday & had so much fun! I updated my show clothes last year when I changed sizes and it’s all still available.

This rainbow sweater is a new favorite! I love how cozy and oversized it is! Right now it’s on sale for $27!

Wardrobe Essentials for Spring (Jeans and Tees)

*the items I am wearing in this post were gifted by Mott & Bow, but all thoughts & opinions are my own*

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that basics make a wardrobe. Without good basics, you will feel like you consistently have nothing to wear & you won’t be able to create a cohesive feel in your wardrobe.
Some of my go-to basics include good jeans, neutral tees, layering pieces (lightweight for spring/summer & heavier for fall/winter), shoes in neutral colors that go with everything, bags in neutral colors, & gold jewelry.

Some of my favorite basics in the last few years have come from Mott & Bow. I own a couple pairs of their jeans & my husband does as well. My newest pair of jeans are the Slim Boyfriend Charlton Jeans in light blue– they are a mid-rise (which I LOVE because I’m petite), medium wash, lightweight jean. They are 98% cotton with 2% elastane, which means they are a slightly rigid denim, but they have some stretch to them. I have found them extremely comfortable to wear in my normal size.

Other basics that I love from Mott & Bow are their tees. The one I am wearing here is the Fitted Crew Marcy Tee in military green. I love a good crewneck tee & this one is soft and comfy. I sized up one because I don’t like to wear tight-fitting clothes & it fits well. The green is perfect for me, but it also comes in 12 other colors.

My other favorite basic tee from Mott & Bow is the Boxy Semi-Crop Noble Tee. I already own it in black & in white & I am SO glad to have the grey to add to my wardrobe since it is SUCH a staple for me. It is a preshrunk 100% cotton & hangs so nicely. I wear my true size & love how it looks tucked or untucked!

In these photos, I am wearing the Slim Boyfriend Mercer Jeans in the bone color, and they are a great white denim option. They aren’t see-through like a lot of white jeans & I am wearing them in my true size & they fit more loosely than the Charlton Jeans. These jeans are also made from 98% cotton & 2% elastane, making them a more rigid denim that still has a comfy amount of stretch to them.

If you’re in need of some high-quality basics to help build your wardrobe, definitely check out Mott & Bow. The quality is so good & their items will last for years to come.
