Easy Timeless Style
The month of June has been keeping me pretty busy. Most of my time has gone to my 9 to 5, which has had me work a few extra hours on the weekend and not any time for vacation because of the end of our fiscal year. I've experienced similar aspects in a previous position I had before, but things are a little different in the department that I'm now in. With that said, all of my hours on the clock have given me a little burn out. Which means less time sharing via social media, here on Styled Chic and more time keeping balanced mentally and physically. To be totally honest, I intentionally stepped away from social media simply to break from the hustle and bustle of posting and taking in information. I like to do that every now and again. Whenever work or life picks up I try to make it a top priority to practice some self-care. It's so important to give yourself a chance to recover after a busy schedule.
When I find myself not having the time to give towards planning outfits, I rely heavily on statement items that I already have in my closet to make getting dressed easy.
Classic pieces for me will never get old or out of style. I enjoy the fact that I can pull out an item from 5 years ago and still look and feel current. What's even better is when you have multi-functional clothes in your closet that can be worn year round. This navy sleeveless trench is the perfect example. I've worn this vest a few times to work for a more professional look, but today I paired it with my favorite distressed jeans and snake skin cross body bag for a casual and feminine look. The vest is light weight enough to wear during summer months and perfect for layering, which can get a little tricky with this heat. Here's the perfect way to do it in June.
There's always a way that you can incorporate more trendy items to a minimal look. I decided that snakeskin would be my animal print of choice and opted for a nude caged stacked sandal. While looks aren't everything, I definitely believe in getting dressed each day. Hectic times calls for me to put my best foot forward. Busy or not. In this case, I'm out and about having some lunch and taking care of a few things before heading out of town tomorrow. If I take the time to put myself together, I know I'm setting myself up to be more productive. We should all know at this point, that if you look good, you feel good, Amen? If you ever see me out, this is normally my style of choice. If I had to sum it up I'd say that easy timeless style always wins.
