Dressed Up Casual

dressed up casual - Paige Denim and Michael Kors pumpsDresses up casual is the name of the game in a city like Seattle. When most people wear jeans and NorthFace jackets, it’s nice to be dressed up and polished without getting stares from strangers. The formula is simple: dark jeans, switchable top, third piece blazer, and a fun shoe.

Dark denim adds a polished look without being overly formal. Changing up your top can either dress up or dress down a look, like today I’ve added a fun graphic tee for a more weekend vibe but it can easily be swapped out for a blouse for a more formal look. A third piece like a tailored jacket or blazer elevates the look yet another notch and has the stamp of business formal attached to it. And finally, adding a fun print or pop of color in the shoe livens up any look. What is your formula for your fool-proof dressed up casual look? Share with me in the comments
