Casual Monday








top: Ruche | jeans: Charlotte Russe | bracelet: c/o Fleet Collection | sandals: Target

Well, here you have it: photographic proof that I do, in fact, occasionally wear pants! After the crazy week leading up to our Easter, which was this past Sunday, all I wanted to do was wear something as un-fussy as possible. So I took my favorite top - which I usually dress up with a lady tie and skirt - and dressed it way down. This is definitely the most casual look I have ever posted on this blog; it's different for me, no doubt. But you know what? I still felt amazing in this outfit. Something about this top makes me feel awesome, even when it's untucked and messy.

I think there's probably a lesson in there somewhere. Style is about more than fit and color and pattern - it's about what makes you feel your best. I think that's why I hardly ever wear pants. I've worn dresses and skirts for so long that pants usually just don't feel right. But after this outfit, I think maybe I'm willing to give them another shot!

  1. Pants are always amazing in my opinion! They flatter legs quite well. I think the shirt and heels go great together. Overall nice outfit gal~

  5. I'm the same way about wearing pants - and I have yet to find a pair that make me feel amazing.
    This outfit is wonderful. Laura, how I love your style! And you hair. Oh, I want your hair.

  6. Love this gingham top on you, and it looks great with those skinny pants! Your hair is soo pretty, too. :) And yes, I agree about how style is more about what makes you feel your best! I like so many different styles and don't really fit into one category, so I think in the end, how I would describe my fashion sense is really what makes me feel confident, pretty and the most like myself. :)
