The Weekend Edit: An Elegant, Casual Look

Mar 15, 2018

Most chilly spring weekends, you’ll find me in jeans and a button-up or jeans and a striped tee.  I like that I can layer on other pieces to jazz up the look, but sometimes it can be a little boring.  So I went looking for a more feminine, elegant look for weekend outings.  Here’s how to recreate Anh’s perfectly pulled together look.

Top Luna Lace Top ($255) // Jeans AG Farrah High Rise ($168) // Coat London Fog Double-Bread Trench Coat ($158) // Sunglasses Quay Tortoise Cat-Eyes ($55) // Bag Botkier Lennox Crossbody ($228) // Shoes Sam Edelman Rodney Flats ($120)

I love the mix of textures in this outfit.  The lace blouse gives the look a lightness that is so feminine.  This Rebecca Taylor blouse is a lovely choice.  For something closer to the blouse in the photo, this ASOS blouse has a lovely mix of textures.  This James Caviello blouse has a much larger lace weave mixed with a cotton voile.  Plus-size?  Try this Monteau lace top.

Pair the blouse with a chic pair of jeans.  Now that I’m 35, I only want high waisted jeans.  They pull in your waist and allow you to wear shirts of any length without fear of exposure.  These AG Farrah’s are my favorite; they really shape and sculpt your body.  For a discounted pair, try this one for Nordstrom Rack.

Since we’ve already discussed trenches this week, I won’t rehash that discussion.

Complete the look with chic accessories — a leopard shoe, a red bag and a pair of cat-eye sunglasses.  I love the glamour of this Botkier bag, but for something more relaxed, try this Everlane bag.  By choosing a leopard shoe, instead of the nude one in the photo, you get a pop even after you take off your trench and bag.

Saw It On Social: Rooted

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
