Another great question came through my Formspring recently:
"I have always wondered if fashion bloggers like yourself every have blah days where you don't dress all coordinated and head for comfy clothes? If so, any ideas how to make comfy looks not look too bummy?"
Of course! Well, I do at least, I can't speak for every blogger, but we're all human! Everyone has days where they wish they could just throw on sweats and a tee and go about their business. Of course, this doesn't really fly in any office environment, even one as casual as mine. On those days I try to stay as comfortable as possible without looking like I rolled out of bed. Yesterday was one of those days, and this outfit was the result.
Top: Dorothy Perkins
Trousers: Forever21 (still available!)
Shoes: Forever21 (similar, in patent leatherette)
Belt: Target
Watch: Syms
Necklace: H&M
These trouser jeans from Forever 21 are super comfortable because of their relaxed fit. My top is acutally a tunic that usually hits mid-thigh, but I took advantage of the extra length and tucked it into the jeans, so I got more coverage in the midsection area than I would have tucking a normal shirt. These jeans rise higher than they look in the front; I pulled the belt down and pinned it in place so I'd get the look of a pair of low rise jeans without actually wearing a pair - these jeans hit at about my belly button in truth!
Because of the length of the pant I had to go with heels, but these are a very low pair and easy to walk in. If I had chosen skinnies instead I would have ditched the heel altogether and gone for a pair of flat sandals!
Of course, there are some days when even putting on jeans is too much. For days like this I usually go for the old standard: leggings, flats, and a tunic top (one that covers the bum!) - and I always make sure to add accessories. Even just a bracelet and a necklace can make it look like an outfit and not pajamas :) Hope this helps!
Oh, and stay tuned for giveaway #3 later today! It's from one of my favorite retailers :)
