Casual Summer Archives - Whitney Nic James

I’ve mentioned before that this summer has been quite the #CasualSummer as far as style. Sure, I can dress up with the best of them when necessary, but on most days you can catch me in a comfy and cute casual wear outfit like this one. I won’t bore you about how important I think it is to be comfortable and fashion-forward when dressing. I think by now, you get how important that is to me, LOL. However, I will say that casual wear is more than just leggings and denim. These pants are the perfect example!

Blouse: Bobeau, Nordstrom Rack (Another Option) // Pants: Sejour, Nordstrom Rack

The pants in today’s outfit are made of sweatpants material; so perfect for casual wear! The pants are also straight leg which makes them chic, not frumpy. Adding a pair of sparkly flats and a fun top gives the outfit personality without being too over the top.

All of these style elements make this OOTD a contender for perfect casual wear options. I can easily pair the pants with another top and I can do the same with the top. Just another example of how re-styling items saves money and expands your wardrobe.

So tell me, what do you think about my latest casual wear outfit? What’s your go-to casual OOTD? Let me know!

Thanks for stopping by today and until next time, be blessed and stay safe…XO!

Happy Monday! I hope you’re all well and ready for an amazing and productive week. Hubby and I traveled to Delaware for an unexpected, yet fun and enjoyable, road trip yesterday. We visited his family and also ate some really good cookout food! It’s not out of the ordinary that we hop in the car for a weekend or day road trip, so I thought this week I’d talk about some of my travel style outfits/travel must haves.

Of course when traveling comfort is key, so I like to wear clothing that’s fit a bit looser (and leggings). Tunics, oversized tee shirts and plazo pants are at the top of my travel style list. Hubby and I do a lot of road trips, so functional wardrobe pieces are a must for me as well. Shoes that can easily be removed while in the car like sandals and comfy flats are important too. The flats in this outfit are perfect. Not only are they comfortable, but they’re in style and can go with just about any outfit.

Your travel style should be comfortable, stylish and functional. #wnjstyle

I can usually fit my outfits and personal items in the same bag as hubby, so we often road trip with one bag. If we’re going somewhere for an entire weekend and have different events to attend while there, we carry 2 bags max. I also carry a big tote bag or purse and I keep it next to me on the ride. More on what’s in our bags and how I pack later this week. In the meantime, check out a few of my miscellaneous road trip essentials here!
