Preppy but casual

Hey Fashionistas,

This outfit is a mixture of a preppy and casual style. The white ripped jeans give the outfit an overall casual look. I tucked the denim shirt into my pants to give the outfit more structure and to avoid looking sloppy. I completely buttoned up the shirt to make it look more elegant.

The black belt separates the top from the jeans creating a waistline. If you tuck your shirt into your pants always use a belt to create a separation and to make your outfit look clean and stylish.

In case it got cold I threw on a faux fur vest. I really like faux fur especially when it gets chillier outside. I guess buying faux fur is in my genes since I grew up in Germany and fur was a necessity or I must have been cavewomen in my past life, who knows.

The summer ends next month and fall will emerge. Which shoes would be more suitable than Timberlands? Timberland boots are perfect for the wet season and they come in many different fun colors. They are waterproof, comfortable and absolutely stylish. I live in California but every time the temperature drops under 70, you better believe it, I’m wearing my Timberlands. Honestly I even wear them with a pair of shorts when it’s 80 outside just because it looks super cool. I wear what feel good not what others believe to be the standard ensemble. You can’t be stylish if you can’t be outside the norm.

I decided to wear a gold statement necklace with black stones to add a little bit more glamour to my outfit. The clutch gives the outfit a more feminine vibe and makes my outfit complete.

This outfit is super causal but it looks sophisticated. Don’t be afraid to mix colors and fabrics. Go ahead and pair rough boots to a delicate blouse you will be surprised on how good it can look.
