Because I Feel Like It


I don't care who you are– everyone gets a case of the Monday's where all you wanna throw on are your moccasins and a cardi! Today's outfit du jour complies with just that– plus a relaxed hairstyle inspired by the lovely Minka Kelly to boot.

The Breakdown:
Top: H&M Tank in White/Striped, $5.95
Top: JCrew Factory Vintage Zebra Striped Cardigan in Vivid Aqua, $64.50 (*Sale)
Necklace: Brevity Hexagonal Necklace in Stainless Steel, $60
Earrings: H&M 9-Pack Earrings, $5.95 (*Light aqua pair shown)
Pants: PacSun Bullhead Black 55 Denim Legging in Rinsed Indigo, $39.50 (*Or, 2 for $59)
Shoes: DSW Mix No. 6 Fringe Moccasin in Grey, $34.95

Total Cost of this Outfit: $210.85

Now, $200+ is a bit steep for something as casual and relaxed as this...

How to Save on this Look:
  • While the pants shown are my go-to denim legging of choice, any dark wash or indigo denim from your own closet will do.
  • Yes, it's only $5.95 but guess what!– that can buy your lunch or at least a coffee! Omit the earrings and go with a simple silver stud or hoop. And while we're counting pennies, swap the striped tank for a solid white, grey or black one of your own!
  • Though the moccasins shown above are sure to keep your toes toasty, if you already own a pair (even if they're the traditional brown color) or a flat that would match– go with that!
Wammy! You just saved yourself $85+!!

*You guys know me, and I constantly promote the purchasing of quality and unique jewelry– especially when supporting an artist! Hop around on Brevity– artist Anna Corpron of New York, NY designs quite a few different styles that are sure to suit a variety of tastes!
