Sometimes an outfit comes together and just feels like magic, and this casual chic look was an absolute WOW for me. I felt so good the moment I put it on because it’s comfortable, chic, and completely me. I’m obsessed with this fabulous Frank & Eileen white button-up (I also have a linen one) and already looking for reasons to wear it again. Made from their legendary denim, it’s hand-finished by artisans in California, has the perfect weight, and will only grow softer with every wash.

I paired it with my favorite modified barrel jeans from AMO and the cutest polka-dot leather flats from Jimmy Choo (so much personality). They feel like bedroom slippers but look incredibly flattering on the foot. I knew when I first saw them they needed to be mine! The red suede bag from Tory is from last season and adds just the right hit of color. The belt is an old favorite I pulled from my drawer. My photographer actually told me that this was one of the chicest things I’ve ever worn, and I have to agree. This is exactly what personal style should do: make you feel fantastic the moment you walk out the door.

I’m curious…what takes a casual outfit from ordinary to something special for you? Is it a fabulous pair of shoes, an unexpected pop of color, or simply the way you feel when you put it on? Let me know in the comments. I always love hearing your thoughts and getting the conversation started!

My little granddaughter Stella is coming today to visit me and stay a few days…it’ll be the best kind of busy and I can’t wait! When she leaves, I’ll be packing things up and heading to Spain for a week…so much going on right now! I’m planning to do a packing post if I can fit it in!

Thanks so much for reading today!
