Finding Beauty in the Basics: How Simplicity Shapes My Style

There’s something quietly powerful about simplicity.

In a world where we’re constantly bombarded with bold prints, statement trends, and fast-changing fashion moments, it can be surprisingly grounding to come back to the basics. Don’t get me wrong—I’ll never say no to a playful pattern or a standout silhouette now and then. But time after time, my style compass leads me right back to the clean, classic lines that feel like home.

That’s why I was genuinely excited to partner with Oroton for a look into their Summer collection. Oroton has always held a special place in my wardrobe—offering timeless pieces that not only match my aesthetic, but move with me throughout the seasons. Their designs strike that perfect balance between elevated and effortless. You know the kind: the dress you can wear on a breezy summer day, then layer under a trench when autumn arrives. The handbag that somehow polishes every outfit, no matter the occasion.

What draws me in most is Oroton’s quiet elegance. Each piece is thoughtfully designed, with subtle details that speak volumes. Take this cotton dress I recently wore: minimal in shape but made memorable with the sweetest bow detail. Or the bag I’ve been reaching for on repeat—it’s structured and sleek, with gold hardware that gives it just the right amount of shine without being over the top.

It’s those kinds of thoughtful touches that elevate the every day for me.

Because let’s be honest—most of life happens in the in-between moments. The coffee runs, the school drop-offs, the grocery store loops. But when you approach even the most routine parts of your day with a bit of intention, it transforms your whole outlook. A well-fitted dress. A necklace that catches the morning light. A favorite pair of earrings you reach for like second nature. These small acts of self-expression become your armor, your joy, your quiet power.

Speaking of accessories—I have to confess, the Oroton necklace and earrings I picked up have become a part of my daily uniform. I haven’t taken them off since I got them. They’re lightweight but striking, minimal yet memorable. It’s rare to find pieces that work just as well at a weekend brunch as they do in a work meeting, and these hit the sweet spot.

As we move into the holiday season, with all its busyness and celebration, I find myself craving not more, but less. Less clutter. Less pressure. Less noise. And in its place: more clarity. More intention. More beauty in the little things.

So whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe, streamlining your daily routine, or just trying to dress with a bit more purpose—remember that simplicity doesn’t mean sacrificing style. It means choosing it, deliberately. It means surrounding yourself with pieces that do more with less, and that stay with you, season after season.

A huge thank you to my friends at Oroton for making pieces that make everyday dressing feel a little more magical. If you’ve been looking to refine your wardrobe with pieces that feel both current and classic, Oroton might just be your new go-to, too.

Here’s to finding joy in the understated. And to elevating the everyday, one beautifully simple piece at a time.
