I have a few standbys that have consistently been with my style for years no matter how much I’ve changed. My go-to neutral is black, my go-to accessory is a scarf, and my go-to print is plaid. I’ve said before it’s the only glimpse left of my New Hampshire roots. We shot this dress at one of my go-to places, the Boston Public Library. Just like I feel most comfortable in plaid, I feel safest surrounded by books.

This simple A-line dress can go from girly and sweet to edgy with just a few accessory changes. When in doubt I can always grab this piece for a guaranteed pulled together look.
