It only takes one floaty yet refined piece to make a slightly more edgy outfit recipe feel smarter and more wearable for a multitude of occasions."
Later saying, "Plus, her styling trick of layering a shirt over a white cami provides a pop of brightness and keeps things comfortable for busy days.".
