Perfect Pairing: 2022 Edition
by habituallychic
03 . 15 . 22The weather is getting warm in New York so it’s time to post about my favorite outfit again. A white top with jeans is chic yet comfortable and can be worn anywhere. If it’s chilly, add a blazer or light coat. If it’s hot, switch out thee flats for sandals. It can go from work to walking the dog to out to dinner. Since everyone always asks me about my pearl drop earrings from Italy, I’ve picked out a few pairs that replicate the look. I’ve also included great new bags for spring and shoes, as well as beauty products to finish the look. It really is the perfect time for this perfect outfit.
My criteria for the white top is that it should preferably be cotton. Ivory silk blouses are a similar option but they look a bit more dressed up if that’s they look you want. The white top should have inset lace or interesting details that make it look special and also a bit romantic. I prefer one with buttons so it doesn’t look so prim but some people like it with a higher neckline. I’ve also tried to find options at different price points and with inclusive sizing so there is a white top option for everyone. Happy Spring!
This Alémais high-neck ramie blouse is the most romantic of the bunch and the one you should definitely buy before it sells out in your size. A similar but simpler style is this pintucked sandwashed-cotton blouse.
These Frame Le Sylvie high-rise slim-leg jeans also sell out often but they have a full size run available now. I need new jeans for spring and these are at the top of my list.
These praline-beige suede flats are the perfect pair of shoes for spring.
I always joke that buff/nude is my favorite non-color color. This brand new Celine Medium tabou in smooth calfskin bag is the perfect nude bag to lighten up your look for spring.
These 18-karat gold pearl hoop earrings are a splurge option but don’t worry, I have also included quite a few inexpensive options too.
These Round Sunglasses are a great deal at only $48.
I’ve really been loving the new Hermès Nail Polish since it debuted last year.I had a manicure with the Rose Coquille color last week and was pleasantly surprised that it lasted a full week. It’s expensive but if you do your own nails, it’s worth the splurge.
Pintucking is often found on my favorite white tops. I love this Isabel Marant Étoile collarless pintucked cotton-voile blouse but this Pintuck Swing Top looks exactly the same and is a third of the price.
I always think that dark denim like these Frame Le Sylvie high-rise slim-leg jeans are great if you are allowed to wear jeans to work.
These tan suede mules would look just as good with dresses as they would with jeans.
This contrast cross-body bag is $59.99 dupe for the Celine Medium Triomphe Bag in Textile and Natural Calfskin that is $3,400.

These round-frame tortoiseshell acetate sunglasses are a classic look that never go out of style.
I use all these Westman Atelier products and the Les Petites Clean Glow Trio I set is a great way to try them for spring.
This lace-trimmed pleated-cotton blouse is one of the higher neck options.
These high-rise straight-leg jeans are a great color for spring.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Ann Taylor has the best designer inspired shoes including these suede ballet flats.
I always love the shade of tan of this small leather bucket bag. It perfectly complements the white top and jeans look.
I love the double pearls on these Mizuki 14-karat gold pearl earrings.
I’ve worn the same Celine sunglasses for years but I may have to upgrade to these faux-leather aviator metal sunglasses.
Spring is a great time to try new makeup and this Hermès silky blush powder in rose nuit.

Time to switch to shoes like these camel leather flats for spring.
This suede shoulder bag is amazingly only $59.99.
