An easy any-day, anywhere look. It’s wonderful to have some outfits in your closet that you can toss on any day, add an accessory or two, and go anywhere, feeling good. It could be a favorite skirt and blouse combo, a loose and minimal jumpsuit, or a simple combination of classics.
Welcome to Visible Monday. If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Link back to Not Dead Yet Style if you like – we’re on Easy Does It “rules” now! |
Today, I decided to have new experiences in a simple, preppy look: a striped menswear shirt (thrifted), dark cuffed jeans and a navy blazer. Not suitable, maybe, for tea with the Queen, but for my casual life, it works. Add a beret (c/o Eva Trends), sunglasses (the future is bright!), colorful sneaker-oxfords, and a pearl bracelet, why not?
This outfit is easy to change up: I could swap the jeans for cropped black trousers and the oxfords for sleek booties. Or switch out the cotton shirt for a silk blouse to make the look more feminine. A different hat or scarf, or a pendant would be stylish too.
Is your wardrobe ready for any and all adventures? Show us in the link-up.

Thanks Cheryl! It’s easy with PicMonkey and a new-to-me site, remove.bg, that takes your background out. Thanks for coming by, xox.
Ha ha! Look at you braving the freezing cold and snow in this fun and funky outfit. This is one of my favs of yours.
Be on the lookout for monster bikes from Amsterdam. ; P

Thank so much Jess. I am excited for you and your guitar adventures! Love the snakeskin blouse too. xox
So cute!! I love the color combo—I’m really into the same right now, too. Navy, black, white—-and the simple to-go outfit or go-to outfit is my jam. I have some work to do on everyday wear for myself.
Thanks, Becky. Yeah, make sure you treat yourself well with your everyday clothes, you deserve it! xox
You look darling in the beret, Patti. Getting a hat of some sort is on my wish/to do list! Those shoes are pretty fab too, must check them out!
Thanks, Kim. I love your pattern mixing today! xox
It’s something I’d wear in a heartbeat, Patti!! I just wore my beret recently, and it’s such a fun detail.
XOXO

I think this is a very, very good outfit. Indeed one which you can get you anywhere.
Love the pop of red(ish) from the shoes. I would have loved to get a sharper photo of your outfit, but you in an Amsterdam photo makes up for it. Yay.

Thanks LC and big congrats on your engagement! The proposal was beyond-fairy-tale beautiful! xox
Wow! Another great look, Patti! Tres chic. : )
I just got a thrifted, casual (no buttons but it has pockets) black Eileen Fisher blazer in stretchy material and first paired it with a ZZ Top rock t-shirt, faded wide leg denim jeans and Chelsea boots, then a few days later dolled it up for a chamber music concert with a few vintage rhinestone brooches, large silver earrings from Thailand, straight leg black jeans, a black, v-neck cashmere sweater and patent leather kitten heel boots. Now that I don’t work a corporate job, blazers are fun again!
Those outfits sound amazing, Cee. And don’t you love a rock and roll tee any day of the week? Thanks for coming over, xox.
Patti, this is such a cute adventure outfit. Stylish , ready to hit the road outfit …

Afraid I’ve been up to my usual dress-up shenanigans, hee hee. Thanks for another year of “Visible Monday”! Happy 2019!
I love your dress-up shenanigans! You were born to dress up. thanks for coming over and happy 2019 to you! xox
