I have a pretty casual sense of style. Comfort reigns supreme when I’m leaving the house, but I’ve realized that just because I wear leggings or t-shirts doesn’t mean I can’t look put together and polished. Below are some tips I’ve picked up along the way that help me to look more put together, but that won’t break your budget!
- Stud Earrings
-
I cannot logically explain it, but putting on a simple pair of stud earrings can instantly make you look as if you put more effort into your look than you did. Go classic with a pair of pearl earrings or make it slightly edgier with silver studs! Check out this set from Forever 21 that’s only $6.99!
- Headband
-
It’s not often I skip putting my hair in a ponytail or messy bun. Another easy way to elevate your look is by adding a headband. This helps keep your hair out of your face and just adds an extra element of style. Go for a plain headband or get something with pizazz!
My head is big, so a bunch of headbands either hurt or don’t stay on. THIS headband is awesome because you shape it to your head. Get it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for ONLY $2.99!
- Denim Jacket
-
Denim jackets are a classic, never go out of style wardrobe accessory that I think almost every girl should have. Honestly, I get so many compliments every time I throw a jean jacket on, I’m wondering why more people don’t wear them. I usually wear the traditional blue, but really any color can help pull your look together! Here’s a great classic jacket for $25 at Old Navy; I recommend you wait for sales though! I was able to get two jackets for fifteen bucks a piece on sale!
- Kimono
-
Okay, so with the Texas heat looming, a denim jacket might be a little warm. My next go-to style piece is a kimono. Get a fun print to pair with solids and jeans or go more classic with a solid colored kimono! Either way, this is a nice way to again pull your look together! Here’s a solid black one for under $15!
- Shoes
-
Since I’m so casual, I live in tennis shoes, but my Asics don’t always translate to put together chick. I also have high-arches so I need a lot of support. Here comes Amazon to save the day… for around $20, these slip-on shoes are comfortable and reasonably supportive. These may not be ideal for wandering around Disney World, but they work well enough for a few hours a day on the 40 acres. I have them in leopard print, but they come in a variety of styles!
I hope these style tips help you feel a little more stylish if you’re a casual dresser like me!
