A Lazy Girl's Guide to...Default Outfits

So it's no secret that I'm a person that likes to dress well. I do believe that your clothes and hygiene make statements about you that no words convey. That being said, I also think that it's not very hard to actually dress well. If you put in a little effort up front, like buying classic pieces that will always be in style, and taking care of your clothes, such as washing/hanging/folding them correctly, you guarantee that whatever you pull from your closet always makes you look good.

Now I have a formula that I have been using for years which I like to call the Default Outfit. The Default Outfit is basically an outfit that you know you will always look good in and can fall back on when in doubt of what to wear. These outfits are comfy but classy and you can have one for every occasion. The goal of a Default Outfit is to be able to let you walk out of the house in 15 minutes flat but looking like you've put hours of thought into your clothing choices. And that's simply because you've put in the work up front. So scour your closet for combinations that look good for the event you have in mind but are also comfortable. That way whenever these events come up, if worst comes to worst and you have nothing left to wear, you always know you have a Default Outfit to fall back on. I've listed a couple of occasions and examples of Default Outfits down below. Hope these help :)

Default Outfits

Casual Day Out

For a casual day out I like to wear my favorite pair of jeans that are not too tight and comfortable enough to move around in, paired with a flowy top that shows off your figure and my favorite flats. When it gets colder throw on a sweater and swap out the flats for booties and voila, you're all set to go!

Night Out

Outfits for dinner with friends and such are always fun because you can really play around with colors and styles and put your best fashion foot forward. I like to usually go with alot of basic pieces and use one statement piece to really make the outfit pop. My Default Outfit consists of a black blazer (these are great for any occasion), a halter blouse, pink skinnies to stand out, with a pair of black pumps.

Special Occasion

Special occasions usually consist of a wedding, a ceremony, or a fancier dinner and although they are always alot of fun to attend you don't get as much wear from your outfit because they don't come around as often. Although you don't want to repeat your outfit too often you also don't want to break the bank so make sure you choose something that can be styled multiple ways to get the most out of your outfit. My go to outfit consists of a lace dress that's not too long and not too short, a simple belt, and some black lace heels. I love this outfit because you can dress it down or dress it up by either adding a coat/blazer and changing up the shoes.
