White jeans are the ultimate staple for me. I have always loved them - as flares, as bootcut and most recently, my cropped skinnies from Gap ($35, two summers ago).

I professed my love to red shoes in a recent post, so I thought it would be fun to take a look back at all the looks I've done with them so far! Black and white is an easy combo with red, but I also love throwing in mustard, cobalt and even purple for good measure.

Today's post is not sexy or glamorous but it does answer a practical question most of us have faced at one time - what do I wear with my "required" shirt? And by required shirt I mean - volunteering and wearing the official shirt, wearing a team shirt to an event, or being asked by your employer to wear a shirt.

"Thanks to you, I am now becoming obsessed with mustard - and I'm not talking about the kind I put on a sandwich!"- Carolyn, a Facebook fan. Well Carolyn, that might be due in part to me posting 10 looks with this mustard shirt (Gap, $30) in a year's time. It's almost embarrassing how much I wear/post outfits with it - I was afraid you guys might have started to notice? At any rate, here's a look back at all the combinations I've done with this shirt - starting with the winter/fall looks on top and the more summery looks down below.

I have low-key plans tonight and I'm still not sure what I'm going to wear, so I thought I would share some of my past looks that could work for New Years Eve for various climates and venues. The top row is some of my favorite looks with sparkle (sequins) and the bottom row is all about black jeans (first three) and black tights (last three)....
