Business Casual

Forever 21 Blazer Coat (here, here, here) / Men's Mossimo Tee / Madewell Sweatpants (here, here, here) / Converse Chuck Taylors

Ever since Isabel Marant brought sweatpants "back", I've been wanting to incorporate them into my everyday wardrobe. With the recent revival of menswear and normcore, three's company to create my ideal look. By pairing an oversized but structured blazer and basic white tee with my favorite sweatpant/converse combo, I was able to create a perfect "business casual" look, if you will. The key is the keep it simple and tonal, juxtapose shapes to keep it from being too lumpy, and make sure your sweatpants have a nice cuff, too :) Check out some of my favorite options above to work sweats into your look outside the house.

Saturday Series: Part II

Bum Cake Vintage Tee (similar) / Madewell Sweats / Converse

I'd have to say sometimes my style can fluctuate between a 80 year old grandma and a 12 year old boy. This outfit: case in point. I fell in love with this "senior women" tee from Bum Cake Vintage. The playfulness of the graphics and the baseball feel of the tee... A bit grandma, a bit boy. Also, since I bought these sweats from Madewell (on an extra sale of course), I have been basically living in them. Paired together with my favorite Chucks, I have a comfy outfit that cozy enough for a Saturday in and cute enough to pop around town.

Iro Denim Shirt (similar)/ By Corpus Romper (similar)/ Madewell Sandals / Jules Smith Choker

Good news, I'm still here. After three weeks of apartment searching, moving A LOT of clothes and shoes, I'm back in action just in time for casual Friday. Today's choice: the infamous "Canadian Tuxedo". Sworn a has been of the nineties (the era I also happen to be fully invested in lately), I think this tux is a nice update to what could've been a full on blast from the past.

I fell in love with this Iro denim shirt the moment I spotted it. Boxy, faded, with leather piping detail and a nod to western, what more was there to love? Paired with a scalloped, denim romper that I snagged at Urban Outfitters for a whopping $5 in their clearance section, I'm calling this one a winner. TGIF and have a fab weekend!
