As I have not had too much time to share style posts, I thought that I would share with you a look that I wore weeks ago. Also, a massive "thank you" goes out to you dear readers for the overwhelmingly lovely birthday messages, comments, and wishes.
For this outfit, I needed to change quickly into something presentable right after working out, however I didn't need to be fancy or anything. My only destination was meeting a friend for coffee after a long work day and a gym session. I swapped my clutch for a utility messenger bag and my heels for a more sportier shoe, a colourful running cross-trainer! Comfort and style was the overall tone that I was going for.
I changed into this linen utility skirt that I have actually had for a couple of years, then added a cardigan knit that I designed and sewed many years ago. Therefore, much of this outfit is a considerable amount of remixing versatile pieces that I've not worn in quite some time.
There you have it, an easy transition for casual wear. For me, versatility is everything these days!

Hiya doll!! You look great. I think sometimes outfits that can be versatile and easy are needed! Sometimes when I have school runs and errands to do, I wear sneakers with my dresses, so I can zoom on by and get things done and then back again. It is needed. I hope you have a wonderful week to come doll :)) xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous outfit and I like your blue top!
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous - I love wearing sneakers with skirts and dresses xo
ReplyDeleteThose sneakers look great with the pencil skirt!!! I love the color combination!!

ReplyDeleteHi sweety, I like your more levant take on the sportswear trend, the belt is so pretty and works really well with the lovely cardi. Hope you had a wonderful bday!
ReplyDeleteDid you make the cardigan yourself? That's really impressive :D I love the look. I've not worn trainers casually for a decade (excluding Converse) so it's like a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the inspiration. Have a lovely week! xxx

Happy belated birthday :)
ReplyDeleteI like your outfit as always. The bag is super lovely. I want one like that too :) xxx
You know, Madison, I haven't been totally convinced by the sneaker trend... and then I saw this look. It's so perfectly put together, I wouldn't even have realised that you were wearing sneakers if you hadn't mentionned it! That's what I call truly mixing comfort and style :)
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
I really love the cut and the colour of the cardigan! So great that you made this yourself.
ReplyDeleteGreat shade of blue.
ReplyDeleteI always carry a bag very simila when I travel
That messenger bag is fantastic; and I am absolutely loving your trainers! :)
ReplyDeleteHi dear...I appreciate your kind visit :)
ReplyDeleteversatility indeed! I know what you mean. Some days, I wanna just change one thing up with what I already have on and then out the door again! :) Your self made cardigan is cute! I LOVE the color!
ReplyDeletewonderful outfit! I absolutely adore the cardi! x
ReplyDeletehttp://fashionedbylove.blogspot.com
I never incorporate my trainers with everyday clothes--- but maybe this is something I should play with! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! Hope you had a wonderful time sweetie!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit take on versatile sportswear and LOVED your denim shirt/frock outfit from previous post too! You're looking really well!

ReplyDeleteYes, I don't normally wear them like this, but it was definitely a day to relax. :) Happy to inspire you. Thanks for your comment. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam dear. xxxooo
ReplyDeleteThanks Cee. Like you I am not too into the trend, although these aren't very trendy, just regular trainers! But, it definitely felt right with my outfit. :-) Enjoy your day. xx
ReplyDeleteYou know what I love about this look? As you say it, it's versatile, but you're showing us a 'real' life scenario. So many times, I wonder if fashion bloggers really dress the way they do because it seems so uncomfortable. You're showing us how to transform a look, in the middle of the day, to make it more suitable for a certain occasion. I love that! I think you pull it off greatly for a casual coffee with a friend. Keep up the fantastic work!! I'd love to see more of similar posts, like how to make use of your clothes after a night of shame haha.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much! All of my outfits are generally everythign that I wear and have worn to work or parties, or whatever.
