The latest trend to hit summer is “Casual Chic”. Casual chic, by definition, is the mixing of something dressy with a little informal added to the ensemble. Like a satin blouse or camisole paired with linen pants or basic denim. Sounds like my kinda style! How about you?! Here, I’ve sourced some basic (re: comfortable) footwear for those casual chic outfits.

Working from home for so long, my look really suffered. I would often stay in my pajamas until lunch and then think about putting on some real clothes! Since returning to work full time, I’ve had to kinda re-learn how to dress and get moving in the morning. Casual chic, as the fashion world has deemed it, is a really simple way of dressing. Feminine yet casual, trendy but comfortable, and really affordable.

More formal or feminine pieces in my closet are usually purchased second-hand. Even though I’d love to spend more on clothing, the budget just isn’t there! And that’s okay! Rocking previously loved clothing and accessories is easy on the pocket book and helps to keep our landfills a little less over-grown. Wearing a cute #thrifted blouse with a new skirt or shorts is totally on trend. Now, add some fun sneakers and you’re owning “casual-chic”!
