If you follow me on instagram, you may have seen that last Monday, I got to the office and spilt a full cup of coffee on every inch of my body at 10am. I do not understand how this happened but even my underwear was soaked. So.
I had a stacked day full of meetings in Nashville’s 12 South neighborhood, so I ran over early (in my coffee-soaked pants and an XL Noah Kahan tee) to get jeans and a tee. I bought some creamy white jeans at Madewell because I needed white jeans and I knew they’d have so many options.

Then I popped into Buck Mason (still in my Noah Kahan merch) asking for help. They stacked a few tees in a dressing room and then they added a pair of jeans “for me to give feedback on”. And I never took them off. I left with my coffee jeans and new Madewell jeans packed away in my tote bag, and I never looked back.

Buck Mason wasn’t aware that they were dressing a nano influencer!! I get compliments everywhere I go in these jeans. They are easy (but flattering) through the leg, and the waist cinches in and pulls it all together. The light wash is just as summery as can be, and I love how they’re puddly with flat sandals or could just as easily pair with a low heel.

All of that to say, if you are in the market for jeans, get these. I ended up leaving with this too because quite frankly, it is the epitome of an excellent basic.
I’ve compiled some things that are in the same vein — not basic basic, but goood staples that you will throw on and can mix and match all together. BROWSE IT HERE.






You can find all of my edits HERE. I do this just for fun (aka this is not promotional), and I actually shop for myself from these. There are some GEMS in the other collections too! Hope it inspires you to play with your wardrobe a bit.
What pieces in your closet do you throw on the most often? I’d love to hear!
