Casual Versatility

 MY NAILS MATCH!










Photos by Erin Valentine
[dress: Forever21, jacket: Gap, belt: Ann Taylor, sneakers: Converse All Star, necklace: Francesca's, earrings: boutique, bracelet: Loft]

You can only imagine my excitement when, after putting this outfit together, I realized that my nails matched perfectly! This was totally done by accident...this time at least. 

I love this combination because although I'm wearing a sundress with a nice belt complimented by a beautiful necklace, I still got that casual energy going on through my denim jacket and Converse tennis shoes. It's a great style to wear to class or on a relaxed Saturday afternoon. 

If you want to switch up the look and opt for a fancier vibe in the evening (let's say you've got some swanky dinner plans), exchange the tennies for heels and ditch the denim for leather or a blazer...or you can always just nix the jacket idea completely. Who doesn't love versatility? Daytime to nighttime in no time at all!

    Oh so like this look. I have a mint dress too similar cut but from H&M but I do not know if I want it now after seeing how this dress looks better. I love the casual, girly look of this and the white converse makes it more adorbs! I may have to copy this look Kat, lol Happy weekend doll !
