Stripe-Out

–

Dear Monday, why can’t you be more like Friday. Friday is always more fun than you and makes me happier and then you come around 3 days later to remind me of school & deadlines. Can you not be so demanding please and be more considerate of my feelings. It’s not you it’s me..wait no, it’s definitely you. Thanks. Today, I am dressing comfy & casual, which is the only way to survive a Monday, am I right? I’m all about casual chic. I define casual chic as the ability to still look put together when you don’t feel like trying(which is me like everyday). I love dressing casual and wearing my boyfriend jeans and a comfy shirt and when I’m short on time and need a quick outfit, this is my go to look! Today I’m sharing with you this outfit that you can make with items you already have(most likely) in your closet!

There is really not much to this outfit which is why I love it so much! It’s simple, stylish, and comfortable. If anyone likes stripes as much as me, they too have at least one(I have too many striped shirts) striped shirt that they can wear on its own or layer with jackets/vests. Since the weather can’t make up it’s mind and some days it’s cold and the next it is almost 90 degrees, I decided to add my army green military jacket over this 3/4 length striped shirt. Layering is great for this time of year because you can take off a layer if you get too hot(just please keep at least 1 layer on..) This shirt is from Forever 21 and it is super comfy and loose so of course I wear it all the time. This jacket is one of my more favorite TjMaxx finds! I mean look at it, it has leather sleeves…can it get any better? And what’s an outfit without cheetah? A sass-less one for sure. So I added these cheetah canvas slip-ons and did a little mixing of patterns with the stripes. For some reason, I believe cheetah and stripes were meant to co-exist because they coordinate so well together. Not to mention they are two of my favorite patterns so of course they make appearances together, ALOT!

Since this outfit was all about staying casual, I went light on the accessorizing. I wore a small gold arrow necklace that I add to any outfit when I want to keep it simple. I wore my Fossil gold wrap watch that I wear when I’m not wearing my other all gold watch. Basically if I’m not wearing a tee shirt and leggings, you will find me wearing a watch. I added my brown Tory Burch purse to coordinate with my cheetah shoes that I found from Old Navy for 20 bucks. & that my fellow fashion friends is how to add a little dose of chic to a casual look! Well that’s all for now, hope y’all have a great week & check back in a few days for a new post! Happy Mondaze.
