Casual Fashion for Spring and Summer
Hello casual fashion lovers! Today, I've put together a styling for you to show the possibilities of looking put-together and stylish for all of your Spring and Summer activities. Whether you are lunching with friends, running errands or having a fun shopping afternoon, this outfit will take you there!
Nothing I'm wearing here is super expensive. The top is a casual tee by Chico's that I bought on sale a few years ago. I love anything pink and the little gold sailboats on the top give it a little something extra. V-necks are also universally flattering on women, I think.
The off-white pants were thrifted and are by Land's End. They are sort of a brushed, soft corduroy style and are my go-to pants for comfort. They have an elastic waist which also adds to the comfort factor. I am wearing lots of elastic waist pants these days as they are comfy and forgiving.
The sandals I'm wearing are new and I bought them for a song at Hamrick's, which is one of our local outlet type stores. The brand is new to me (Ingaro Sport) and I am really liking them. I love the interesting bands and the white color goes with anything. I wore them to church this morning with this blue skirt and white top and they were perfect! They are also very comfortable and are not high arched. I have noticed that a lot of sandals have the arch really high and located in the wrong place for my type of foot. These Ingaro sandals are perfect.
If you're out and about, you might want to add some pretty jewelry to accent your casual outfit. I chose a light pink stretchy bracelet and this lovely lovely gold with purple bead flowers bracelet that I purchased years ago from the lovely Katherine of katherinescorner.com. The pink bracelet is one I bought from a trip to Colorado several years ago. I love pink and purple together!
And of course some pretty earrings complete the look. These polka dot round padded post earrings reminded me of the seventies/eighties when I found them in a local shop and thrifted them. I'm wearing more post-type earrings lately and these give such a fun retro vibe to this casual look.
So, what tops and pants are in your closet that you could wear to put together a casual outfit for Spring or Summer? What shoes are on the floor of your closet that would match well with that top and pants? And now, head to your jewelry box and find some fun pieces to accessorize. You're ready to head out the door and have a fun afternoon!
Be sure to tell me all about it in the comments. Can't wait to hear from you!
Until Next Time,
Debbie

Especially since I'm retired, casual clothes are what I wear almost all the time. So it was fun to see your post as you shared ways to accessorize your casual clothing. I especially like your shoes!
Thanks, Sharon. Casual is good. The shoes are really very comfortable and I'm enjoying them a lot!
This is a good way to combine basic pieces and look pulled together. I'll bet all of us have similar items and can definitely do this. The jewelry and shoes can be changed out to create different looks and different levels of casual! I'm a big fan of a casual but still pulled together, and ready for anything! Those are great shoes! Basics can go a long way as you show here!
I have been away from blogging for a bit and hoping to just kind of ease back into it without the stress I was feeling when I stepped away. I love to write and visit with my blogging buddies but don't need another thing I feel responsible to do. My to-do list is quite long already!!
You have the prettiest complexion. Quite smooth and dewy!! I'm afraid our dry climate has been hard on my skin. And then there are those 'sun spots' or liver spots or freckles or whatever you want to call them. I am quite the speckled pup.
Your pretty pedi reminds me I need one desperately. I like the accessories you used to add more interest to this outfit. I wear a fitness tracker everyday and don't always like having other bracelets on my wrist. Wish they would make these fitness tracker bands more bedazzled-y.
Good to catch up with you again.
Hi Leslie: Just left a message on your blog but wanted to say how lovely it was for you to stop by and leave such a lovely message! I'm a speckled pup, too, for sure! That was such a nice thing for you to say, though, about my complexion!
Thank you, Karen. I'm really enjoying the shoes. They are so very comfortable for summer wear. Yes, I'm a pretty casual gal these days. For some reason, though, I am still pulled to dresses and it drives me crazy because I don't really have places to wear them. But, there ya go. That's just me, LOL!!
