So for me, getting dressed for casual things seems to be very difficult sometimes, considering my day-to-day is always "dressed". I do hair and makeup every single day and wear heels to work everyday. But the occasional sporting event or school function I feel like I have nothing that feels like "me".
On the days that I am off, I rarely am "dressed" but I am put together in my own way- my makeup is a little done and my hair is a little done and that's what makes me feel good about myself.
My whole thing with style is having your own personal style and being yourself.
I put together a couple of outfits with pieces that we have in store, and a few staples from other places that make me feel like me when I'm getting dressed for something casual!

1. Leggings of some sort (I personally love LuLuLemon. Length wise, I go with 25 inches so like a ¾ length, right above my ankle. They are perfect for my height, and just my absolute favorite for myself and my body.) With them, I’ll typically do a boxy tee with a sneaker or a slide, whatever bag I am loving at that moment, and a sweatshirt or sweater if needed.
2. Jeans that are cool and comfortable, a shorter tee shirt or something I can tuck in, and sneakers. (This is VERY casual outfit, but if you have a little makeup on, your hair is a little done, and you have some cute sunglasses and a bag you love, you’re instantly put together).
3. If I want to be a little more dressed, but still very comfortable, or if it's a hot day I will always do an easy, little loose dress with sneakers. Nothing too short or too tight, BUT you have to make sure the style of the dress actually goes with your sneakers. Like for example your sneaker should match or go with the dress and you normally wouldn't wear socks or have them show if you are wearing a short dress.
4. Finally, if I want to look like I sort of tried a little more on a day off, I will wear jeans and something a little "more" as my top- like a striped tee and a leather jacket, Or a cute sweater with a sneaker. So basically not a sweatshirt 😂.
There's two things that I feel really define who I am when I get dressed and the main thing is that I have to feel like me, if I love it or think it's so pretty but it just doesn't feel like me then I just can't do it. I can't do it because I don't feel comfortable; and that's my number 2. I have to feel comfortable in what I'm wearing.
