Day-Off Wear


Who says you can't keep it fashionable on your day-off? It's easy to rely on your favorite basics and find one piece that gives it a bit of glam.

And I wanted to show that bloggers don't need to wear makeup for their outfit posts! I'm just wearing lip gloss!


I threw on my favorite tank top, skinny jeans and boots. I got the cropped cowl-neck sweater a couple months ago in preparation for this Fall weather. I'm glad my healthy eating habits as of late have been paying off - it's given me more confidence to wear tops like these :)

And the best part of this outfit -my necklace!! I picked it up at a local thrift store for a whooping $0.99! A great find, or what?!? I've named it my "Wonder Woman" necklace, because the design is reminiscent of her tiara.


Cowl neck sweater and tank top: UB; Skinny Jeans: Madewell; Boots: Frye "Harness"; Accessories: Fossil watch, bracelet from Mom, thrifted necklace, Chanel eyeglasses

What are your favorite "basic" pieces?

  5. i love those pieces, so basic yet classic. i'd wear it even if it's not my day off! i really do believe that to make an outfit stand out, you need a key piece. i think the cropped shawl sweater tied everything together!

    my favorite pieces would have to consist of the following colors: black, gray, white, and dark denim. skinny jeans/jeggings and low rise flare jeans are part of my basic denim go-to's. boots (with heels or flats), some type of striped or solid v-neck sweater, no-button sweaters, scarves and believe it or not, TOMS shoes and chucks.

    love this post!

  12. You are beautiful without make up Elisse! I barely get on mascara every day so its refreshing to see someone without gobs of eye make up on!
