You guys know I love my high heels...but every now and then I like to keep it casual. Easy, breezy. Dressing up is fun, but so is dressing down. I like creating looks that appear effortless, yet chic. The pieces used to create the outfit above might seem lackluster or somewhat boring on their own, but all together they create a relaxed, yet stylish, look. The head-to-toe neutral color palette also brings a sense of ease and cohesiveness.

I'm heading into the weekend counting my blessings. Sometimes I'm just completely overwhelmed by the love and favor of God. I encourage you to stop and take a few moments to thank God for all of your blessings - you'll be amazed by how many you start naming once you start...Happy Friday!

I like to balance "menswear-inspired" fashion trends with accents of "girly-ness". Tried to get the best of both worlds with this look. I love Target's oxford flats with the pink soles! Such a fun detail. They mixed well with these floral jeans I found at JCPenney. It took me a while to find a pair of floral jeans that I was willing to try, and finally I just bit the bullet and got these. It's a trend that will probably be short-lived for me personally (I've just never had a strong taste for floral prints), but in the meantime, I'm trying to have fun with it. I also love my menswear-inspired fedora. It's a great hat for fall. Overall, a comfy, chic outfit perfect for casual days or relaxing weekends!
