I Can’t Do ‘Casual’

15/1/2019

There’s something about dressing casual that I just can’t seem to manage.

Yes I have jeans and I own a t-shirt (it’s embroidered). I have sneakers (kinda) and I own tracksuit pants (for when I’m sick).
But dressing down is something I really can’t bring myself to do.

I have complied a list of my versions of the casual go-tos some people may have in their wardrobe.

I much prefer to wear these items over the others, that’s just my style.

The Denim Jacket
VS
The Classic Blazer

Most of us have one, I even had one. The Denim Jacket just sits too high on my casual list to feel like I could go out and conquer the day.

The Classic Blazer on the other hand speaks to me in ways that scream, “You’ve got this!”
Being so versatile, you could enjoy this baby at work or on the weekends.

The Biker Jacket
VS
The Belted Coat

Picture
A leather Biker Jacket is something I once longed for. I had one, I gave it away. Or sold it. I can’t remember.
When I used to wear all black everything & tried desperately to find anything with studs or spikes on it, the leather Biker Jacket combined the right amount of edge for me previous style demon.
Picture
I now swap out the need for studs and spikes with the use of a metallic buckle wrapped around my waist on a black Coat. Let’s face it, I would not be able to wear my pearls with my leather Biker Jacket & feel ‘put together’.
Still honouring the black coloured outerwear, yet keeping things versatile, edgy yet still given the opportunity to be a bit more polished.

Black Jeans
VS
Black Trousers

Picture
The very first pair of black jeans I purchased were the Lee Supa Tubes - $180 on layby until my job at Sanity helped me pay them off. I was 15.
Black jeans can look quite dressy on some people, I must admit. For me, they remind me of being at a concert & having beer spilt on me, standing up all day stacking DVDs at JB Hi-Fi & the good old mufti days at high school.
Picture
I no longer own a pair of black jeans. I have traded them in for a pair of black trousers which suit many occasions & in my opinion, are a bigger staple item than the above.
Chic and classic. My version of ‘jeans & a t-shirt’ would be black trousers and a silk top. An easy go-to & one outfit that I reach for often.

Tracksuit Pants
VS
Culottes

Picture
How comfy are trackies?! Yeah I still own some which don’t see the light of day unless I’m sick and it’s winter.
No judging here, go nuts; wear your tracksuit pants to the shops or out to coffee. That’s a cute look, but it’s just not for me.
Picture
Instead, I wear my culottes out and about when I’m running errands. They’re super comfy and make me feel relaxed.
I wear these with leather heeled sandals and a black thick knit top like in the picture above.
Perfect for showing off your divine Jewellery, but not showing too much fuss.

Ankle Boots
VS
Heeled Ankle Boots

Picture
Yeah, yeah, I know. These have a heel. But most ankle boots do.
There’s something I just can’t gravitate to with ankle boots. Perhaps it’s the length, material or colour. I don’t get how to wear them & I feel so frumpy when I try them on.
Picture
Do not fear, I have my own version of ankle boots. Heeled Ankle Boots are a winner for me. They have to be plain and slick, black, a pointed toe and a thin stiletto heel.
I feel like these look sophisticated and fierce.
I wear mine with jeans (relax, I’m human), a midi pencil skirt or with dresses and stockings.
