Sometimes it’s easy to fall into the realm of simplicity when it comes to dressing, and often times people are just simply dressed a bit too basic. However, it is possible to be clad in all different types of rather simple pieces and still look like a Fashionista. Although this Fashionista wears fairly plain items, worn as a whole they work together to make her entire outfit far from boring — and the key is to correctly mix simple with something even more simple.

How To: If you are unsure how to rock simple by layering on even more simple items, follow in this Fashionista’s foot steps. Start off with a basic tee and or bottom and work your way up or down. You can sport a plain white high necked tank top and pair it with the perfect boyfriend jeans for a very simple yet chic look. Then to finish off the look you can wear a pair of patterned espadrilles like this Fashionista or a pair of distressed Golden Goose tennis shoes a la Leandra Medine.
