Casual Elegance

JCrew Sweater and Boots, gifted James Jeans, Vintage Stole, H&M Headband, Forever 21 Bracelet, Micheal Kors Watch

This past weekend was a wet one and therefore I spent 90% of it in sweatpants curled up on the couch. I was finally forced to put on real clothes late Sunday afternoon and decided to take this casual outfit up a notch with the addition of my fur stole (originally seen here). Casual attire mixed with elegant pieces always reminds me of my style icon: Jenna Lyons. She is known for pairing unassuming items such as sequins with chambray, in a very down to earth and attainable way. 
Have you tried pairing everyday attire with evening wear?

You look great! That stole is stunning!!! I LOVE this combo as well!!! I esp like trying to make it work for work! A chambray shirt tucked into black slacks and killer pumps - work appropriate yet casual and comfy!

Love this look Alicia! I think it's the perfect Thanksgiving weekend look. ;) Casual enough to be comfortable lounging at home, but dressy enough to make you feel like you're celebrating a special occasion. Love your rosy lips too! So flattering and fun on you! So pretty!

That fur stole is so cool! I love the idea of wearing fur for daytime. I was at Gap kids over the weekend and found a leopard faux fur coat for my niece and HAD to get it. I thought of you!

What a terrific look (and fantastic stole)! I too spent most of the weekend curled up under the covers, but didn't look nearly this fabulous when I dragged myself to the grocery store!

Such a fun mix! The leopard head band, fur stole & red lip have such a vintage glam feel, then paired with a casual outfit it's unexpected and oh so gorgeous!

HO MY LAWD! You may have given me the courage to pull this off. You're incredible!

You look gorgeous! You totally rock the casual pieces mixed with evening wear. I might just have to copy you sometime!

Love the head band and fur! I think with that leopard/cheetah print material I found at JoAnn's may turn into a headband!

Alicia said...

@thebrunetteone - very cute idea!

Kastles said...

Go Alicia! I love this look, you look very classy and pulled together. I love the headband, I might have to pick one up!

Oh my, I love your blog and I cannot believe I haven't come across it before! My friend recommended it to me and I'm glad she did. I also love this outfit on you. Adoring the colour of your sweater, and that fur store is gorgeous (I'm completely obsessed with faux fur this fall).
