THE LOOK: CASUALLY CHIC
When was the last time that you wondered which outfit you could wear that would look great ALL DAY LONG? By ‘all day’ I mean till after dinner time! About a week or so ago, I had finished my regular working hours, and then my father asked me to help handle some of his clients. As soon as I arrived, he disappeared and went to handle his other clients. My duties included answering every question they had, having dinner with them… and then… taking them to see a specific property. Ahhh! For extra-long days like that one – you need to look fantastic – from 8 AM to 8 PM, scratch that, till 10 PM!
Here is a super easy outfit that will have you look sophisticated and chic ALL DAY LONG! First, a basic pair of faux leather leggings, if you do not have one in your closet, get these here (under $ 30). I wear mine any day of the week! And then, the easiest part: grab any long sleeve black sweater (we all have one!) … and you are done.
For me, this is elegant, comfortable, and foolproof. I can wear this outfit to work, meetings, dinners, and any other unexpected ‘duties’ … for the day. To finish the look I added a classic plaid scarf – it is available in different colors, have you seen them all? See them here. I love mine!!
Hoping that your week is going well.
Lots of love!

Casual Chic & Silk Scarves
I grew up observing my ultra-elegant & glamorous grandma wearing silk scarves every single season of the year. My mother has her own collection as well, and that’s how I developed my appreciation and love for them. Silk scarves have a way of adding a chic element to almost any outfit. Silk scarves come in all sizes, the tiny ones I usually wrap around my neck, and the large ones you can fold in half and spread over your shoulders like in the outfit that I am sharing today.
Notice that I am wearing regular jeans and a plain-colored v-neck sweater (such a basic combo!), but now this simple outfit looks more sophisticated. It’s always best to wear clothing that has colors that match your scarf. My scarf has navy blue, brown, and creme tones, so in order to bring those colors out I chose jeans that are the same blue tone, brown wedges, and a creme-colored sweater. Voila! Hope this post inspired you to add a silk scarf to any of your outfits! If you have not worn one before, just give it a try! Be sure to match it properly for a chic and polished look!
