Keep It Casual.

I've spoken of my love for sneakers before, but I seriously can't get enough of them. I especially like pairing them with an outfit that I would normally wear with heels. It's my little way of keeping things casual for a long day at school. So today, it's a graphic sweatshirt, striped trousers, and a warm fur vest. Keep it casual for an easy look.

Shorts & A Tee

Summertime and the living is easy! I've been visiting family for the past week and a half. My days have been filled with swimming, seaglass hunting, ferry rides, vineyard tours, painting, shopping, more swimming, and of course relaxing. I know, life is tough. I wore this outfit last week to walk around the green and visit the shops in Branford, CT where my mom lives. I knew I wanted to be comfortable so I paired this loose tee with a pair of patterned shorts. I love the palm trees on this pair ~ super beachy and summery! Of course no comfy outfit is complete without a pair of sneaks. My New Balances completely fit the bill. I had to jazz things up a bit with this sequined clutch of course. I like to mix in one piece that you wouldn't normally pair with a casual look. Happy Kicks for vacations and comfy summer outfits! Cheers!

Gingham + Green.

Navy and emerald green is such a great Spring color combination. Add a gingham check and it's even better. This is another simple, casual outfit that I paired with my favorite New Balance sneakers. These sneaks are getting a lot of miles because I've been able to wear them with a variety of outfits ~ pants, skirts, dresses, you name it. My pants are from GAP and they are the skinny mini skimmer style. This pretty green color is no longer available but they have other great colors still.

A Tee & Sneaks.

A quick post tonight featuring a casual outfit from last week. I kept it simple with a graphic tee, railroad stripe skirt, and sneaks. My bag added a pop of color and of course a statement necklace added a little sparkle. 

I had a fantastic weekend with my family celebrating three birthdays! I definitely needed some quality time with them and now the countdown until summer break is officially on! Happy kicks for that!

A Blazer & Sneaks

I love a good blazer. I love a cute pair of sneakers. Put the two together and you'll see a happy kick from this girl. I'm layered up today because it's so cold here.  Layering is a really easy way to bring some variety to your outfit. Just make sure to choose complimentary colors so that the pieces in your outfit aren't competing.

Jeans & A Tee

Jeans day at school today!  Which means dressing was easy this morning!  I love a jeans and tee combo.  It's so simple and effortless.  I picked up this "Cheers" tee on sale at J. crew a few weeks back.  It's got a vintage feel to it ~ soft and loose.  Layers always add interest to a simple outfit, so I tied a plaid shirt around my waist and wore my navy blazer on top.  Collar popped of course!

Happy Kicks today for all of our amazing athletes competing in the Olympics.  It has been so enjoyable to watch and cheer them on over the past two weeks.  Go Team USA!  Cheers!
