A Casual Stylish Weekend

(photos by Lindsey Wilson)

I live in jeans and t-shirts most weekends. I'm all about being comfortable, but when I'm hanging out with friends or have plans, I still want to look stylish! Enter the fashionable tee. I am loving this one from my friends over at Tobi. The choker tee trend is still going strong and I've officially hopped on board. I love this tee! It's perfect with distressed denim for a casual, trying but not trying too hard vibe. Plus it's striped and y'all know I love a good stripe. 

This tee is also a great basic to have in your closet. You can style this with jeans or skirts, wear it alone or layer it under a jacket/sweater. I've already worn this with a jean skirt and military jacket; and with my flares and a leather bomber. This is one piece that you can wear over and over which I love! Shop this look below!

Star of the Show

Omgggggg. This cardigan, from Chicwish, is the STAR of the show. Sorry.....cheesy.....couldn't help myself. But seriously in love with this sweater! Big, bold prints are my all-time favorite and this is no exception. It's the perfect casual piece to make any outfit stand out. It's super cozy and the best to lounge in! I paired it with my favorite pair of boyfriend jeans and a basic white tee. Casual weekend done right.

I don't know about you all - but I plan on spending the weeknights hanging out on my porch soaking in all this pre-fall weather. Loving it!

Saturday Errands

Pretty sure this is the 4th denim dress I own, but I've decided you can never have enough. They're perfect for all seasons and the best transition piece! Denim is totally a neutral in my mind. I can wear it by itself, pair it with leggings, throw on a cardigan - the possibilities are endless. This dress is a great length AND it has pockets! Serious win win.

This dress has become one of my favorite weekend outfits for when you've got lots to do, but still want to look cute! It's from J.Jill - so of course it's super soft and machine washable (which is a non-negotiable in my book). I threw it on with a pair of my comfiest booties and some blush accessories. Perfect from running to brunch with the girls to grabbing some groceries and everything in between.

Easy Breezy

Happy Saturday my friends! I am SO thankful it's finally the weekend. This week has been forever long. I always reach for something casual and comfy to wear on the weekends, and I think I've finally found the PERFECT weekend outfit. This look from my friend Darcy over at Hello Luvvy is seriously the best. This is the first white t-shirt I've ever owned that isn't sheer. I don't have to wear a tank top under it and it's a miracle! Hah! It's thick, but still lightweight enough for summer. And it has side slits so you can wear it tied too. It comes in a few other striped options as well - pretty sure I need them all. It's so hard to find good basics to layer! And to add a little fashion-twist on the basic white tee, I paired it with these fringe hem jeans. It took me a hot second to accept this trend, but now I'm loving it! They add a little something extra to spice up the outfit.

And we can't forget about these heels. I mean, come on! These are gorgeous and honestly, really comfortable for being heels. I have a hard time finding heels that don't kill my feet and these do the trick! I could walk around in these bad boys all day without any pain. Maybe it's the chunky heel and the ankle lace? I don't know....but they're magic and you need them.

Working Out on the Go

As a full time graduate student and a part time blogger, I don't always have have time to hit the gym. And let me tell you - grad school school isn't so forgiving on the body. Hah! Between the lack of sleep and no time to ever actually cook, I basically live on pizza. So whenever I have the opportunity to add a little workout into my schedule, I take it!

But for those crazy days when you don't have a minute to spare, I finally found an easy way to fit in a little extra exercise! These little leggings from Sweetflexx have built in resistance bands. They add 4lbs of resistance with every step. They were tested at a sports lab and were proven to burn an extra 30-40 calories for every 30 minutes of walking. And since I'm guilty of wearing leggings quite often, it's an easy way to bring the gym along with me!

These leggings not only burn extra calories, but they can help tone your legs, glutes and lower core too. They are such an easy way to feel like you're getting a workout when your short on time because they always fit into your schedule! I am absolutely obsessed with these leggings, and I know you all will be too! They're super comfy, but you can definitely feel the resistance! Plus - they're machine washable which is a necessity for me. These have quickly become my new weekend wear obsession! They also have a super cute pair with mesh panels which might just have to be my next purchase.

Check them out below and grab yourself a pair while you can! And you can use code "glitter" for $25 off! Such a steal.

Weekend Wear

Cheers to the weekend! In my personal opinion, weekends are way to short and go by in the blink of an eye. Why can't we have a four day weekend/three day work week? Makes total sense, am I right!? But in all seriousness, I savor each and every weekend. Whether I've got plans with friends, or am just stuck inside studying, my go-to weekend wear is always super casual, cute and above all - comfy.

This outfit is the perfect combo of all three. Both my top and shorts are from a sweet little boutique in Oklahoma - Antique Garden. These Free People shorts are SO flowy and comfy (and for all you tall girls out there - these shorts are longggg). It's so hard to find shorts that don't show too much skin and these are such a good length. Paired with this open back ruffled tee, I literally felt like I was in my pajama's all day - and let's be honest, who doesn't want to spend Saturday in their PJ's? Crazy people.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend! Savor every fabulous moment because we all know Monday will be here way to fast. And if you want to stay in style while still being ridiculously comfy - you need this outfit! Shop below!
