Whenever I’m looking for inspiration on how to add edge to my girlie wardrobe I head to Cheetah is the New Black. Alicia Lund has the magical ability to give even the most feminine pieces a downtown cool girl vibe. Plus, who doesn’t love a blog that’s injected with a continuous dose of animal prints?! Here’s what Alicia had to say about her must-have classic:

Favorite Staple? Simple white or grey tee

Why is it so versatile? They never go out of style, are season-less and can easily be dressed up and dressed down. I also like to wear a lot of statement jewelry and basic tees act as the ideal canvas to show off my favorite necklaces. Plus, I’m a big fan of mixing high with low priced items and a simple t-shirt adds that touch of effortless cool when paired with pricier designer items (like my Helmut Lang leather skirt).

Where can you shop it? Old Navy ($14.50), J. Crew ($29.50), James Perse ($65)
