Daily Outfit: Comfy in class

Friday I had a lecture from 10 – 4, so I wanted to make sure that I dressed in comfortable clothes.  My go-to ensemble for things like this is a jersey dress with flats.  Comfortable and put together.  Layer a belted cardigan over that, and you’re ready for even the most frigid Florida air conditioner.  Not to mention the fact that this style is seriously flattering on me.

I got this necklace way, way back, in my high school days.  One of my neighbors was having one of those home jewelry sale things, and I bought it.  Which is funny, because I really didn’t wear a lot of dressy jewelry back then.  Somehow, I’ve managed to hold onto it over the years.  Truely, pearls are a classic, timeless item to have.

That purse is an oil-cloth tote that I got from a thrift store and re-covered with polka dot canvas.  It is able to hold everything I need for a long day in class.  And it lets me continue the polka-dot them of the bracelet.  I like how the necklace gently echoes this as well.

Daily Outfit: Casual yet Chic

Figuring out how to put together a weekend outfit that is both comfortable and chic is not always an easy task.  While velour sweats may be okay for lounging around the house, when I’m out and about I prefer to look a bit more put together.

Blouse: AB Studio (via Kohls)
Cardigan: Minimalist handknit by me
Shawl Pin: Nicholas and Felice
Bracelet: Crazy 4 Jewels
Jeans: Lucky Brand
Shoes: Aldo

The key to the chicness (and comfy-ness) of this outfit comes in two parts: one, the faux collar on the blouse (which makes it look a little more dressy but is comfier than layer two separate blouses), two, the handknit cashmere blend goodness that is my Minimalist.  Whenever you want to be comfy and well-dressed, cashmere is always a good bet.
