Easy Going

I've worn this, or some variation thereof, about three times this month. It's so simple and comfy, and you just got to love it.


White tunic top....

Ankle tights or skinny jeans -- depending on the length of your top. If it hits ABOVE your ass, wear jeans! If it hits below, then tights are prefable because the band of your jeans might bulk you up around the hip/waist area...not a good look if you're on the chunky side like me!

Cute shoes are a must. I guess you could wear flipflops, but I think it would look a bit too lazy. You're going for casual cool but with some thought here...

..and finally, a lightweight, long skinny scarf. Just knot it loosely around your neck.

Some mild accessories: bangle, gold chain necklace worn as a bracelet, fabric hoop earrings. and my failsafe big bag (featured in every other post of mine! But don't worry, i'll be getting some new bags this weekend, woohoo!), and a ton of rings. I love my rings. :)

yay or nay?

Hi Chrissynb,

tights are the best thing ever! kudos to you for trying white ones -- i was always afraid that i would look like a ballet dancer... on the other hand, there are worse ways to look.

here are some tips:
1) as long as they're ankle-length or shorter, you can really do anything you want with them.

2) However, keep in mind that contrasting colors are always cool. Pair with a thigh-skimming tunic top/dress with colorful prints, or go Mod with black.

3) If you DO want to wear a white top, break up all the white-ness with some accessories, like a colored/black belt around your waist, or a pretty scarf, maybe even some long jewelry.

I hope these helped! Let me know how they worked out for you!
