Chambray + Zip Sweater + Leopard Clutch

Do you have go-to outfit formulas that you turn to on those days when you just cannot think of what to wear?  I am sure many of you do, and this is one of mine: a sleeveless chambray, zip sweater, skinny black pants, black heels, a statement necklace, and a leopard clutch.  All of these pieces are basics in my closet, and are so easy to throw together without much effort (but still look polished).  A leopard clutch goes with just about every solid color, I think, and I often joke that leopard is a neutral in my closet.  After all, it adds a bit of pattern & interest to an otherwise solid-colored ensemble.  This day to night outfit is comfortable but classy, and works for the office, dinner with family, a night out on the town, and more.
