1. Tank Top
On Wright: Michael Stars tank
"A good tank is a staple that everyone should own. It layers nicely under any jacket, and when the weather warms up, you can wear it on its own. I probably throw this one on several times a week—not kidding."
2. Shirtdress
On Wright: J.Crew dress
"A shirtdress is my go-to for an easy, effortless outfit. It looks good with almost any shoe, and it's kind of the perfect dress for right now."
3. Pretty White Top
On Wright: Veronica Beard top
"Pretty white tops are a nice option to a basic tee. I especially love the puff-sleeve details—I get compliments every time I wear this one."
4. Trench Coat
On Wright: J.Crew trench
"On cooler days, try your favorite white tee, faded, worn-in jeans, and a classic trench. It looks a little more polished for running around town."
5. Slide Sandals
On Wright: Schutz sandals
"When the weather brightens up, I wear slide sandals almost every single day. Easy to pair with denim, dresses, and even joggers."
6. White Denim
On Wright: Mother jeans
"White denim is on serious rotation right now. I'm especially loving a higher-rise straight-leg jean."
7. Faux Leather
On Wright: Good American shirt
"Even though it's spring, I still grab this faux-leather shirt and wear it like a jacket. There's something about this luxe-looking trend that elevates every outfit."
