Stye Watch - Urban Casual Meets Casual Chic!

It's style watch time! So besides sharing the recipes I love, listing my favorite things to do, and my lifestyle tips,  I will also bring you my favorite fashion trends! This is some of my personal style and my spin on some of the current trends. 




If you know me personally than you know that I love comfort! You'll find me in heels when I host and at events, but when I'm lounging around or running errands around town, it's all about that cute and comfortable kind of style!

I recently teamed up with the Cotton Supply Co. who I love for their feminine cuts yet comfortable in fit. Here are some ways that I dress up and dress down my tees! Click here to shop the look!

Above is their 'City Of Angels' tank in black, and I took it and added my own urban flare to it by wearing it over leggins and paired with grey wedged sneakers. Under the tee I have on a lacey blue bandeau and over top, a printed vest. I fell inlove with this aztec gold necklace from Urban Outfitters so I put that on and grabbed my grey tote and off I went for a tea time date! The perfect pair of sunnies and some gold bangles finished off the look, and I felt cute and trendy, but most of all, comfortable! 


For my birthday I went with casual chic. I just love taking tee shirts and sassing them up with some accessories and a sexy pair of pumps! It takes the look from casual to chic with just some simple additions of accessories, and a minor tuck of the tee! 

In this look I took the 'Malibu White' tee and tied it up on the side (remember the 80's style side knots?! Yes those! I did that to this tee and it rocked!), and paired it with an asymmetrical black skirt which took the look  from casual to chic as you see above. 

My JustFab pumps sexy-fied the outfit, and I figured that with the skirt and the side zipper jacket, it would dress the outfit up enough to go out for my birthday dinner, and it was! For my accessories I kept it pretty simple, a silver antique necklace for a lil sparkle on my neck, some silver stacked bangles, and my black sunnies! 

Since my outfit was pretty dressed up, I tied my hair up in a top knot, kept my makeup to a smokey eye and a nude lip, and off we went to explore San Diego's Gaslamp District! So fun! Click here to shop the look! 

I think you can take any casual piece of clothing and dress it up, dress it down, take it to chic, or even give it an urban feel just by accessorizing it with some mood inspired pieces. Shoes can make any outfit say what you want it to say, and adding a simple jacket or vest can elevate your outfit as well! 

Keep that in mind if ever you need some fashion inspiration, and if you like some of the pieces I have above, you can get 20% off with jess20 at checkout! Thanks to the Cotton Supply Co for sharing the love with my audience! Check them out and tag me on Instagram and Twitter so I can see how you style the tees! 

I have some more style watch posts coming from you soon so stay tuned! :D 

Keep stylin you sexy thang!
