Basically...

I've been a terrible blogger lately. No, it's true, I have been. I could come up with a million reasons why but it doesn't really matter. What I can say is that I hope to be more organized and stick to my schedule this month, even if I'm sleep typing.

It's also true that I'm what could be called a basic bitch. I like vanilla lattes, white backgrounds, copper decorations, and my clothes consist of a mostly black color palette. This, however, will not be changing. It's true, my style is basic, but I like it that way. I like the fact that 9 times out of 10 I can grab a top and pants and look put together without putting much thought to it. I can throw on any type of jewelry and it will go with my outfit because my outfit will be simple. I like that I can buy a shirt with fun details but because it's in white it still "fits" into my wardrobe without me giving much thought to what I'm wearing. Basically, I like being basic.

  2. I've missed your presence in the blogging world lately, but totally understandable that other things take priority (like life and having fun ;) ) And there's absolutely nothing wrong with being basic when it comes to clothes- you're gorgeous regardless! :)

I definitely prefer basics at this point in my life, anything that requires little thought on my part in any area of my life is treasured right now hahaha.

    1. Thank you so much Shaunacey, what a nice thing to say! I love little details on things in "basic" colors so that I can still just throw them on and they fit in with whatever else I have going on. Thanks so much for stopping in, I hope you're having a great day! XO -Kim

  6. I've missed you! Glad to see you -- hey, sometimes life happens...this whole balance thing can be really tough! I'm with you on the basics. You should see my closet--haha...it's 70% black and so many neutrals. I grab pieces and mix them all the time, I love the classics! Nothing wrong with that...love your outfit...where's that bracelet from? It's so pretty!

    1. I have missed you my beautiful friend, cannot wait to catch up on your blog! Hahaha, I am definitely a black/neutral kind of gal, I definitely love that I can mix pretty much all my clothes together and I am a total lover of the classics (they're classic for a reason right?) The bracelet is from etsy from AnaberJewelry https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1017435458 I actually own a few and have bought them for friends, she does amazing natural stone jewelry! Thanks so much for stopping in my friend, so nice to hear from you! XO -Kim

  10. I love this post Kim! Basic is awesome and I greatly admire the virtues of having a wardrobe that is simple, conforms to one color palette and can be easily mixed and matched and accessorized. I have far too many things in my closet that cause me to wonder: "what am I going to wear that with?" so I am sort of envious of basic! Anyway, you are looking fabulous in your black blazer and pink bag. Have a great rest of your week!

    1. Katie, isn't it funny how we always want the opposite of what we have? I always think of how fun your closet must be and you are a color mixing magician! If I ever even venture into the world of color you can be sure it's because I've been on your blog and you've inspired me! Thanks for stopping in my lovely friend, I hope you're doing great! XO -Kim

  12. Yay! You're back :D I've came back here a couple of times and was like :O still no post yet?! haha Since we are on the topic of coming out as basic bitches, then I must admit my own basicness haha. I'm the same way :D I love simple outfits because they can literally be dressed up or as dressed down as you wish. I really love your bracelet :D It's so pretty! Well I love your whole outfit to begin with haha :) Hope you are having a lovely week <3

  13. You are GORGEOUS and your "basics" are so my "basics" hon :) You look absolutely amazing and I loved reading this post - you made me chuckle, babe. Ahhh, I genuinely want to get a vanilla latte with you while we take pics with white backgrounds with copper bits and bobs :D
    I have been the most awful blogger in February and abandoned my Miel and Mint *enter howling cry here* lol. Life just takes over sometimes and it's OK to take a breather though. I like the sleep typing idea - coffee is one of my dearest friends lol.
    Love ya, Kim! And just happy to be reading your posts :)

    1. Nadia, such a compliment coming from a total stunner! Yay for basics, they are the best! Um, that sounds like the perfect blogger date, we must do that when we meet up :D It's true, we have both been very busy this month, you with travel and me with something no where near as fun hahaha! Oh my goodness, I am up to 4 cups of coffee a day, it's so bad but I literally cannot function without. I'm amazed I can even sleep at all! Love you girl, all the hugs your way! XO -Kim

  15. I really love this look, I need more "basic bitch"-ness in my wardrobe, seriously! ;-) I have a wardrobe full of things that don't match/way too many prints, I'm like a hippy print magpie basically! Plus with simpler looks you can wear funkier accessories, as you show here, I love your bracelet and ring! :-)
