6 Black Top With Jeans Outfits That Are Uncomplicated Yet So Chic


Gone are the days when I used to set my alarm for 6am to get up, wash, dry, and style my hair, apply a full face of makeup and spend about 20 minutes deciding on and ironing my outfit before heading off to work. Granted, I know remotely so feel less inclined to do more than the bare minimum in terms of getting ready for the day but, aside from that, I’ve found that I’m looking for simplicity in all aspects of my life—including the outfits I wear when I’m not sat at my desk, too.
