Felled by a mystery virus, blogging this weekend took a backseat to sleeping. ?So now that I’m feeling better, how about a belated Monday Outfit?
Today’s inspiration photo is from Arielle Charnas at Something Navy. ?It brings the vibrance of bright orange to an otherwise casual outfit. ?But casual doesn’t need to be boring.
Sweater. This bright orange sweater from Madewell has the same boxy fit as the inspiration photo. ?If you prefer the crewneck look, try this Jucca sweater (<$75). ?I also like the cable-knit sweater from Whistles.
Plus-size? ?This affordable Land’s End sweater is a nice option. ?Tall? ?Try this Dorothy Perkins sweater.
Shirt. A button-down tunic is a nice piece for layering under sweaters. ?This one from Finley Luca has side vents to keep the fit in the hips from being too snug. ?I also like this discounted tunic from Eileen Fisher.
Prefer a standard length button down? ?Banana Republic’s Riley-fit shirt is a great option that comes in both petite and tall.
Jeans. Okay, not jeans. ?If you’re going to be traveling, jeans might not be your most comfortable option. ?These Sculpt Pull-On Jeans from Talbot’s are the perfect alternative.
The jeans are made of denim, but they sculpt and slim like a compression legging. ?The waistband is more forgiving and comfortable than a standard jean. ?These pants have the fit of a legging with a look of a jean (as long and the waistband is covered). ?They also come in petite and plus.
Sneakers. These Veja sneakers are on my holiday wishlist. ?This pair has an orange accent, but they come in several colors. ?I’m partial to the pale pink.
Weekender. I’m traveling light this holiday season. ?This Sole Society Mason Weekender is a great travel bag for under-$75. ?For a canvas option, try the Lo & Sons Catalina bag. ?It’s washable, affordable, and perfect for traveling.
Coat. This Dorothy Perkins coat is a steal. ?It’s a classic camel coat for under-$75. ?It also comes in petite and tall. ?If you don’t like wrap coats, try this oversize Topshop coat or this Calvin Klein hooded toggle coat. ?Plus-size? ?Try this Calvin Klein coat.
