comfy + stylish outfit ideas

Sunday, October 16, 2016




October and November always seem to be the busiest months of my year. My schedule is finally in full swing and it's just go-go-go all of the time! Being crazy busy makes for late nights and early mornings without a lot of sleep in-between. Sometimes when I wake up, putting on a stiff blouse, stiff jeans, and a pair of uncomfortable shoes just does not seem the most appealing. But dressing down doesn't mean you have to wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt! (I often find that wearing this type of clothing makes my day lack a feeling of productivity.) There are totally ways you can dress casually and still look stylish and feel confident. Today I will be sharing four outfits & tips for keeping it comfy without sacrificing style.





Outfit No. 1: Neutrals are your best friend.













I find that wearing neutrals and muted tones automatically makes your outfit ten times more stylish. Neutral hues, especially black, give you a simple, chic, and put together look. In this look I paired my favorite black leggings with a black tulip-hem top. I finished it off with my favorite black sneakers and then added this adorable mini backpack for some interest and a little color. This cute bag definitely contributed to the sporty-chic look. I kept it simple with jewelry and wore my go-to gold watch.

Outfit No. 2: Throw on a denim jacket.














Jean jackets seems so basic, but they can really transform a look. Underneath the jacket I went with a simple grey tee, leggings, and sneakers (clothing items almost everyone has in their closet!). I added a baseball hat and beige bag to add some extra interest. Even though this outfit is composed of comfy basics, it still looks super fashion forward.

Outfit No. 3: If you like it then you should've put a vest on it. 














Typically I'd say that you can only wear your favorite fall vests with flannels and riding boots. That is one of my favorite looks, but I found that this vest also looks adorable overtop a comfy graphic tee. Neutral tones keep this outfit looking simple and chic. This look has become one of my go-tos for both weekdays and weekends. I went for a relaxed pair of jeans, but this outfit could also be paired with leggings for an even comfier feel.

Outfit No. 4: T-shirts & Tied shirts














Who says a typical t-shirt can't be cute!? For this last outfit, I tied a chambray shirt around my waist to dress up an ordinary t-shirt I bought at the Guggenheim museum in NYC. Adding the chambray shirt creates a bit more structured silhouette.  I finished off this look with some textured leggings, sneakers, and my favorite bag. This outfit looks totally city-chic, but it is super easy to throw together and will keep you comfy all day long.
