@a.dose.of

Hello!

We LOVE to make our lives easier- especially when it comes to getting dressed, and we are always sure to include a few timeless basics in our closets.

Perfect for vacation packing, weekends away & everyday life. 

Today we are showing you 2 of our favorite closet ‘basics’ and 3 ways to wear them.

And because we want everyone to have a little fun when they stop by a.dose.of, we’ve linked a variety of sizes and a variety of price points so that 

“no matter the size of your ass, no matter the size of your budget, there is something for you!”

Thanks for stopping by to check out our tips and even though we often hear the kids these days using the word ‘basic’ in a more, shall we say, ‘condescending’ fashion, here at a.dose.of, we just like to get shit done. ‘Basic’ is cool with us.

Enjoy!

Best, N+K
