Although it may be a bit "much" for some, I do enjoy incorporating slightly more put together elements when dressing down. To polish up a casual look, I like to throw feminine textures, cuts, a heeled shoe, and of course a bright and pretty lip colour. How do you like to wear casual?
Wearing: Talula Babaton (Aritzia) coat, J. Crew jacket (last worn here), Zara top, J Brand jeans, H&M booties, Joe Fresh toque, Revlon Fuchsia lips

I prefer to 'dress-up' casual wear too. I usually lean towards black skinny bottoms and then play around with different tops and jackets and pops of color with nail polish and make-up.

I'm only just starting to understand what casual means for me - after so many years of working in an office, I'm having a hard time breaking myself of the habit of buying pieces that I could wear to an office if neccessary :) Honestly, though, the learning process hasn't been unpleasant! You look lovely, Jen - that shade of blue suits you so well :)

Lipstick and heels - always. I hate dressing casually, haha.

such a lovely look Jen!! Sometimes it is so hard for me to do casual because I am not a huge fan of jeans (not that your wearing jeans in this post but you know what I mean). Even in my casual outfits I do like wearing heels or wedges. I love your peplum top by the way! Peplum is so elegant.

I like to wear casual with straight cut jeans for the most part and paired with flats be it boots or ballet flats.
Love the different shades of blue and the textures in this outfit. :)

If I'm leaving the house, my casual look tends to be like yours – although then it ends up with my mother asking why I'm getting so dressed up, haha. When I'm at school though, I tend to stick with jeans and flats for convenience's sake. Thanks for sharing, that shade of blue looks beautiful on you xx

I enjoy the more put-together casual look; it's actually the way I prefer to do a casual outfit too. I love the way you incorporated different tones of navy and blue, and the hat is a nice, cozy touch.
