There’s something special about those days when you don’t have to dress up and can wear casual, relaxed and effortless outfits. Do you agree?
After 13 years as a VIP Nordstrom Stylist, where I styled and loved dressing up everyday in professional looks, I’m finding it exciting to switch gears and rediscover a new casual-chic wardrobe. With the transition to working from home and becoming a grandmother, I love having casual and stylish off-duty outfits to wear at home, to run errands, and when visiting with friends! 🙂 Don’t get me wrong, I love dressing up and wearing beautiful and dressy outfits, but I love having casual and stylish outfits I can rely on for my everyday wardrobe. So, here’s five essential categories for embracing off-duty chic! 🙂
1. White Jeans
White jeans are a summer wardrobe staple and complement any top. Try an all-white look with a classic denim jacket and fun canvas sneakers for a fresh and chic look.

2. Flat Sandals Or Sneakers
Sometimes, a flat sandal or a comfy pair of sneakers is just what you need for a casual and effortless look. I love this French-inspired cognac color sandal, which is cute and comfortable. Try wearing this color with blue, black, white, tan and green outfits.

3. Summer Tops
The key to summer tops is finding styles that keep you cool, comfortable, and stylish. The star linen shirt is a great style to wear now and will be fun for the upcoming 4th of July holiday celebrations.

4. 3rd Piece
To complete your look, don’t forget to add a third piece – a trendy denim or utility jacket, a lightweight cardigan, or a cotton pullover sweater. This extra layer adds interest to your outfit, elevating it to a new level of style. The third piece is the secret ingredient that ties everything together.

5. Bag And Sunglasses
Lastly, don’t forget to have accessories on hand you feel confident wearing. They are the key to keeping your outfit fresh and updated. Complete the outfit with a raffia bag! Note: the bag pictured just sold out, but I’ve linked similar styles here and here and here.
