Let’s get real for a minute & talk about everyday attire. 

Okay there is no way to look spot on everyday (it’s just a fact).

& it’s also completely impossible if you’re in college & have to walk across campus on the hottest of hottest days (now that’s just rough). 

Yet there are a few simple things in your wardrobe that can take simple everyday attire, up a notch.

(whoop whoop!)

Okay… the secret is elegant but subtle statement shirts. 

& by subtle I mean nothing see-through, low-cut, or crop-top…I am not talking that kind of statement.

But rather tops with simple beadings, unique patterns, or statement colors.Think elegant & simple like a Kate Spade meets Serena Van der Woodsen kind of look. 

& one of my favorite Kate Spade meets Serena Van der Woodsen kind of look, is an elegant top with super casual shorts. 

By mixing & matching your formal & casual clothes…you end up with an outfit that 1) looks spot on. 2) doesn’t look like you’re trying, that hard & 3) generally is darn comfy!!!

( & isn’t that the most important detail of all)!

So, To help you guys envision this Go-To-Campus-Style. I pulled some must have tops to rock this look…

 Elegantly Casual Look!

J.Crew Factory // Here. Here. Here {!!!} 

Anthropologie // Here & Here. {!!!!}

Lilly Pulitzer // Here &. Here. {!!!}

& just by putting on a cute shirt & some comfy shoes…you instantly take your everyday casual (blahh & boring) clothes, to a Gossip Girl worthy status. 

& who doesn’t want to look great, in an everyday kind of way! 

Weirdly enough casual perfection is a style that is so relevant today: aka: flannel shirts, leggings & the “messy bun” {which obviously took me 20 min to make}.

Anyways… the weekend is coming up so hold in there & fake it till ya make it!
