Elevating Casual

February 4, 2013


While I feel that it’s pretty straight forward to look put together when a pair of heels are thrown into the mix, lately I’ve been leaning towards casual comfort. It’s admittedly been a challenge to feel stylish when dressed in an ultra laid-back look, but I think that pieces like this new vest I found on clearance are key: it has a great silhouette, is cut at the right place, and is armed with lots of little details that draw the eye in for a closer look.
Wearing: J.Crew turtleneck and bracelet, Maison Martin Margiela for H&M vest, T.Babaton trousers, Browns loafers, Artessorio bag, BCBGMAXAZRIA necklace (old), Joe Fresh beanie

    What a chic outfit! I totally agree, it’s been challenging for me to find casual outfits that are weather appropriate but I still feel pulled together in. You seriously look gorgeous in this.

    I think you pulled off the casual laid-back style very well while still being stylish. Great find on the vest, btw. 🙂

    casual comfort for the win! I love, love, LOVE your necklace. It’s so big and glamerous, but not in a in your face kind of way(if that makes sense lol). Regardless, I love it 🙂

    Even your casual outfits are always refined and thoughtfully put together. I can’t believe you found that MMM for H&M vest on clearance, what a great find!

    LOVE LVOE LOVE. I love that you do a variation on a theme for your particular style set for the season. I love the textures and the silhouettes you always put together for yourself.

    Really gorgeous. Of course, your smile takes everything up a notch.

    And I’d steal that necklace off your body if I ever meet you and you’re wearing it. ^_^ j/k (sorta! :P)

    Love + aloha,
