Outfit of the Day, Vol. 10: Adding a Little Extra Something to Jeans and a White Tee

May 13th, 2012 by Karen 10 Comments

outfit of the day volume 10

Just because you’re rockin’ jeans and a white t-shirt doesn’t mean your outfit has to be boring. 🙂

With some minor adjustments, an outfit of everyday basics can still look pretty polished and chic.

For brunch today, I started with a standard white tee (this one’s theme appropriate) and my favorite pair of jeans, but instead of just slipping on some flip-flops and calling it a day, I dressed it up a bit with some silver hoop earrings, a white bracelet, a big bag and a pair of neutral snakeskin print heels.

Then I went to town on a huge stack of mixed berry pancakes!

The outfit, from head to toe…

  • T-Shirt — Old Navy (if you can’t find it there, here’s one just like it at Cafe Press)
  • Jeans — Joe’s Jeans (I’ve had this bootcut pair since 2004! Joe’s Visionnaire would give you a similar look)
  • The bag and shoes: Kate Spade (both from last season; this Steve Madden Dainty Bow Satchel and the Kate Spade Metallic Karolina have a similar vibe)
  • Bracelet: Cara Accessories (this Cara Accessories Leather Wrap Cuff is kinda similar)
  • Silver hoops: Tiffany Bezet Hoop Earrings, available now at Tiffany.com

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. I hope you had a good day today. Did you have anything yummy to eat? Brunch with my family was fun, but now I’m very sleepy… I think I’m gonna turn in early tonight. After Tabs and I watch Mad Men, of course. 🙂

    I luurve those shoes!!! You look great with a white T! I don’t think T-shirts ever look too good on me, and if they’re black/white/any neutral colors really, it’s even worse! So jealous of your tan!!!

      I love those shoes, too, but they’re so hard to walk in, wah!

      Hope you had a nice Monday!

    Very sassy – and I’m sure your Mom loved the shirt! 🙂

    We all went to dinner with my parents, which was nice. And which also reminded us that the kids really have no decent shorts/short sleeved shirts. Time to go shopping!
