While those of you that have been following along for a while, know that I have a shopping problem, y’all also know that I love a great basic.

I feel in love with this jacket in navy at the Nordstrom Sale, but when I realized that it also came in black, blush and powder blue, for the first time, navy wasn’t the obvious choice {more color and size options here}! I love the idea of this paired over a long cashmere turtleneck in the cooler months, over a cocktail dress and with simple basics, like I paired it with here. Mixing the feminine sleeves with the unassuming distressed shorts that I have lived in all summer made me feel like a “cool” mom.
