I am sure that many of you see the tons of blog posts that go up everyday and think “Do they really dress like that, all the time?” The answer is definitely NO…at least for me! There are days more often than not where I don’t want to do my hair, I don’t want to wear shoes that make my feet sore, and I don’t want to wear a lime green midi-skirt walking down the street (even if it is my favorite thing in my closet).
For days like that, I try to substitute my elaborate outfits for more casual, comfortable ones. I can’t lie to you though…I really do try to dress up these comfortable outfits, but that’s just because I like to mix things up.
The perfect example of an easy piece to dress any way you want is this amazing sweater from The Retail Therapist: it’s effortless, adorable, and affordable…I mean, what else could you ask for…really?!
To put my own spin on this casual outfit, I simply tied a flannel around my waist, and paired leopard flats with it…because we all know leopard is a neutral 😉 And just like that, weekend wear that is sensible, and fashionable, all in one.

This is the perfect fall uniform! I love the plaid and leopard print together!
