In keeping up with my bloggy New Years resolutions ( since you know, the whole “eat more veggies” thing went out the window mid January — you mean french fries aren’t a vegetable? ) I’m going to continue doing more posts featuring the same item styled different ways!
Remember this striped shirt with the leather cap sleeves I wore with a fringe skirt here? Well, here’s a casual take on it that will have you out the door in 5 minutes. I paired it with my secret weapon — a fancy baseball cap. It’s cute enough to wear just about anywhere (the office, too!) and even tricks people into thinking I wore it for purposes other than covering up my unwashed hair. Since I’m a pattern mixing fiend, I couldn’t resist adding a camo jacket. Really ideal for one of those “I accidentally shut off my alarm instead of pressing snooze” days. Sometimes an “effortless” look takes a lot of effort. This isn’t one of those situations.
Have a happy Tuesday!
