Summer Weekend Casual

Since summer is here, I like to spending a lot of time outdoors.  Here in Michigan, the winters are long and brutal.  but, our summers here, even though they are short, they are absolutely amazing.  There's a reason why it is called Pure Michigan because it is purely beautiful.  During the summer, I like to walk in through downtown areas of the different cities since they are very close to each other and visit the different shops and restaurants.  This particular weekend, my boyfriend and I decided to go to a small downtown area in the next city over from where we live.  I wanted to share the casual, budget-friendly outfit I put together to stroll downtown.

 

Outfit Details

 

 

 

 

Top:  This black jersey knit top is from Old Navy last summer. (Top is not longer sold, linked a similar top).  The top I am wearing is made out of good quality jersey knit.  It has stayed in the shape as when I purchased the shirt.  I know that a lot of shirts can tend to lose their shape over time, but I have not experienced that.  The shirt has maintained its black color with minimal fading.  The original cost of the top was $18 but I purchased the shirt for $10.  The great thing about Old Navy is they are always running great sales and promotions.

 

 

 

Shorts:  I absolutely love these shorts I picked from Walmart.com.  I'm a sucker for anything w/ a printed pattern, so when I saw these red and white geometric printed shorts.... I HAD TO HAVE THEM.  The shorts are very well made.  I know you see the name Walmart and you start to shy away but Walmart carries very good basic pieces that you can put with a lot of outfits.  The quality of the shorts I would compare to if you purchased a pair of shorts from Old Navy.  They have the same fit, The length of the shorts are perfect for keeping it casual with a pair of sneakers or glamming it up a bit with some strappy sandals.  The cost of shorts are $16 but I was able to catch them on a "rollback" sale for $10,50.

 

 

 

Shoes:  My shoes are "Maryann" from JustFab.com (Maryann is no longer available, but Gwyn is a similar shoe)  These are a cognac colored sandal with a chunky heels which makes walking easy if you are strolling around the city.  These sandals have a strappy feel but they have a zipper back, so you can throw these on quickly.  The cost of "Maryann"  is $39.95 for being a VIP member.  The shoes are comparable to those you would find a Nine West and Aldo but half the price.

 

 

 

Accessories:  I am completely obsessed with this bag I picked up from JustFab.com.  The name of the bag is "Lorenzo" (Unfortunately, this bag is sold out on the website).  I get an Old Hollywood Glam vibe from this bag except size is probably 5 times the size of the handbags back then.  Because of the size, I am able to carry my every day necessities including my daily planner and tablet.  The cost of this bag is normally $39.95 but purchased it during JustFab's Memorial Day sale where everything was 50% and I was able to get it for just under $20.  The sunnies were purchased from Charming Charlie.  I might have a small addiction to Aviator glasses but only because they are so sleek, edgy, and just a hint of sexiness which embodies my whole sense of style.  I did pay full price for these sunglasses but the good news, Charming Charlie's sells most of their glasses for under $10.  So, I guess you can I splurged alittle when I purchased the glasses.

 

Well, that's all that I have for the Summer Weekend Casual wear.  I hope you enjoyed this outfit as much as I did and stay tuned for future post.  If you have any questions about this outfit or any of my other blog posts, please feel free to send me a message.  Until next time, Stay Stylish!!!
