Remember how we told you a t-shirt and jeans can become the hottest outfit in the room? Here’s more proof. LA-based blogger Olivia paired a faded old black t-shirt with a pair of destroyed light-wash denim jean shorts, and some super high-top Doc Martens. Having one element in the outfit that pops (in this case, the boots) can carry other basic pieces and turn what would have been a drab outfit (ie: if she chose flip-flops… which she would never do) into far more stylish territory. Other plus-points? Rich, red lipstick makes the outfit autumn-friendly, and the sleeves of her t-shirt are rolled up for some vintage biker charm. The bottom line? Olivia looks gorgeous, and at the same time, it looks like she just rolled out of bed. If that isn’t the perfect balance, we don’t know what is.
