Effortlessly Chic

Some days, casual is just the way to go.  Whether you sleep through your alarm or just aren't feeling the whole heeled-ankle-boots-and-blouse thing, all you want to do is throw on something comfortable.  Now I don't know about you, but I'm not the type of person who can go out in public wearing leggings and a sweatshirt.  If that's you, than by all means keep rocking that look; but I just can't.  I feel like if I do, that will be the one day that some super hot boy bumps into me on the street (or maybe that's just my ridiculous thinking).  Nevertheless, the way I take on the effortless and comfortable look is typically comprised of three main pieces: leather, denim, and sneakers. 
 

These are always my go-to because they scream "comfortable but stylish".  I went for a leather jacket rather than leather pants because let's be honest, leather pants are not comfortable.  Denim jackets can feel too bulky or you may feel like you are restricted when trying to move around.  Leather jackets are usually on the thinner side, perfect for layering in the colder weather and can easily be taken off without feeling like you are lugging around a heavy jacket.  Denim jeans are the epitome of casual and to add to the comfort, I always go for ones that are super stretchy.  Underneath my jacket, I just have a simply olive green colored blouse that I think goes really well with the "earth toned" color scheme of this outfit. 

 
 
If you saw my Autumn Wish List post, you probably would have seen that these babies right above were on there, and I can finally say that this girl is a proud owner of my very own Adidas Superstars.  I know, I know, everyone seems to have them these days.  But come on!  They are beautiful (and not to mention ridiculously comfortable).  Plus, the pop of gold on the tongue of the shoe adds to the neutral color scheme. 
 
As for accessories, I'll never feel complete without them.  This ear cuff is my newest obsession and to tie in the both silver and gold accents of the outfit, the braided necklace from Forever 21 (including both gold and silver chains) adds the perfect touch to the look.
 
And there you have it.  Comfortable, stylish, and you didn't even have to think too hard about it!  I hope you liked this post and let me know what you think of my new blog template!  Thanks for reading!

Much love,

Gabriella xx
