I decorate very similarly, she tellsVogue.
It often starts with a neutral base, mixing old with new for dimension and intrigue.
Accessories are a great way to add interest, she says of infusing personality into these blank canvas looks.

Her highly-edited wardrobe and exacting taste is a reflection of that studious, attentive process.
Figuring out ones own sense of style often requires a measure of self-awareness and reflection.
Trousers and coats (and Hermes bags!)

This is just a really easy, comfortable look to run around in for work.
it’s possible for you to wear it a little bit looser.
you’re free to control the shape if you tuck it into your pants.

I usually go for solids or something with a very fine stripe.
And I love to roll up my sleeves so they dont get in the way of me working.
I won’t do an actual roll, though.

Ill button the cuffs and just push them up.
Like I said earlier, I love a trouser.
This is a very classic daytime office lookyou can see how I rolled up the hems of the pants.

Ill then pair it with a loafer or a white sneaker.
I lovewhite sneakersnothing else!
The Row makes a great one and so does Jenni Kayne.

[This outfit is made up of] really classic pieces that Ill do up with some interesting jewelry.
I also love architecture in clothing, I think you see that the most in a tonal look.
This top from Susie Kondi has these almost bat-like sleeves and it comes in this great crunchy cotton.

The dress is from Another Tomorrow and comes with a very wide belt.
It could even be worn with a big sweater.
And its also a great length.

If Im wearing a skirt or dress, Ill do a tea length or lower.
I just feel like it just elongates youIm not a miniskirt or shorts person at all.
