Oftentimes we find ourselves caught in the struggle of styling an outfit that’s not too fancy but also not overly casual. Coming from someone who always looks excessively dressed up, I’ve yet to find that balance. However, this Fashionista proved to know exactly how to create a casually chic outfit. She toned down her delicate ombré dress by pairing it with a neutral colored cardigan and slide sandals. This Fashionista opted for minimal accessories in order to further subdue the look. Rather than adding jewelry that might distract from the outfit, she wore trendy glasses and pigtail French braids.
Casual doesn’t always mean that an outfit needs to lack detail. This Fashionista tied in beautiful intricate features with the trim and color of her dress as well as the wispy braids in her hair. To prevent stylish characteristics of a dress from turning an outfit into something that’s too lavish for class or a coffee date, just add a sweater and flats. This will immediately reconstruct a look from something formal to an ensemble perfect for laid-back outings. This Fashionista took her look straight from class to dinner with friends, proving the versatility of the outfit.
Another style pointer that this Fashionista presents relates to hair; braids are the ultimate way to show off highlights or the contrast of hair color. This pairs well with any outfit and adds fresh detail. Also ideal for class or studying, braids keep hair out of the line of sight and look super stylish at the same time. From one Fashionista to the next, outfits like this forge conversation and inspiration to recreate our own individual casually chic looks.
