“Casual” for me used to mean nike shorts and an over-sized tee. Ok… if I’m being honest, it often still does. (Have y’all seen the “Texas Kappa Harry Styles” shirt I seem to always have on?) But lately, I’ve been making a big effort to bring a bit more pep to my every day outfits that still offer comfort and ease! Since it’s easy to get in a continuous “white jeans + colored tank” cycle, these destroyed blush jeans have been a lifesaver. (Harry would disagree since he’s seeing less wear.)

At $44, they don’t break the bank, either! I have the hardest time finding jeans (especially colored/destroyed) that flatter my short ‘lil legs, and couldn’t believe when I came across these. Did you see them in my latest YouTube video?

In keeping with the casual theme, I added this laid back v-neck tee (which y’all, is the softest thing I’ve ever put on) and my new go-to purse! The accessories I wear every day – this delicate necklace, this watch and this wrap bracelet, helped to put the finishing touch on this look. Switch the wedges for these new gold Tory sandals, and you’ve got two outfits in one!

Do you have any tips for staying cute while casual? I’d love to hear them, cause this girl can use all the help she can get. #LongLiveOversizedTees

P.S. Did y’all know it’s AMAZON PRIME DAY?! I didn’t realize this was a thing until this morning. Amazon is offering sales “bigger than black friday” to Prime members!

  4. I am loving that little side tuck, gonna have to steal that trick!

    My go-to casual outfit is for sure a dress. It’s the best in my opinion because people always are like “wow, you’re so put together!” when in reality it’s like, umm no I just didn’t want to put any thought into my outfit haha! The key is one that fits loose and is made of a linen or cotton blend because then you can be extra comfy!

  5. I’m in a similar boat right now – I’m a rising junior in college and am at the point where I know I need to start looking nicer at least some of the time (which means that I also have to move away from the running shorts and just a few sizes too large t-shirts)… I’ve found out that throwing on a jersey dress is my favorite alternative for when I’m running errands on weekends. I love the dresses that ASOS and Old Navy has (and they come in petite too which is a major plus because I’m 5’3″ – and I know that you know about the horrible combination of short legs and too long dresses as a fellow short girl)!

    So while I leave that little novel on your page, another little note. I’m a fellow Kappa over at UGA and had major regret when I didn’t order the tank top version we had of your Harry Styles tee. I might have shed a few tears and am super jealous of yours now…
