Why sacrifice fashion for comfort if you don’t have to? Being comfortable doesn’t always necessarily mean wearing sneakers, sweats, and t-shirts. And fashion isn’t always about wearing the snuggest/ stuffiest clothing with the highest of killer heels although we do love a good pair of killer heels at times lol. Comfort in clothing is especially all about how we relate to fabric and style in our everyday lives. For me being comfortable is essential when choosing my outfits for any occasion. This look is all about capturing that laid back business casual feel with that weekend flow appeal.

For this look I chose this simple yet stylish navy blue and creme chevron striped shirt dress. I love the shape of this dress with just a basic adjustable drawstring at the waist. This small element is totally great for accommodating various sizes and can be very forgiving in the waistline. And we all could use a little forgiveness in that area every now and again. I know I can lol !! I love the funky chevron stripes in this piece that jazz and play up the simple dress rather nicely. The soft and silky wrinkle resistant fabric makes this dress extremely comfortable and always photo ready.

Of course, going along with my business casual weekend flow look, I decided to dress my shirt dress down with a pair of dark blue denim jeans by Zara Woman. I decided on darker wash blue for the bottom of this look to contrast against the lighter creme color within my top and throughout the rest of my outfit. I thought these particular jeans were a perfect fit.

For my shoes I decided to go with these cute linen and leather espadrille lace up wedges by J. Crew. I absolutely love the look of these wedges!! I love the contrast of the navy blue trim and lining against the creme linen. The ribbon ankle laces with the touch of leather tips are simply adorable. I thought these worked perfectly into my outfit!!

I chose this Estée Lauder tote bag to complement my look as well. I love how simple this bag is with just a touch of the navy blue stitching up the sides along with the thin handle straps. Again I stuck with the basic navy blue and creme color scheme. As someone who loves color I typically try to mix colors into my outfits to brighten them up. However, I felt the two tone color scheme worked well alone due to the how all my pieces intertwined the two colors in their own unique and separate ways.

Last but not least, I chose a navy blue jersey hijab along with some cute creme pearl and gold accessories to finish off my entire look. I thought my jewelry worked really well in keeping the overall look of my outfit clean and simple.

I really like the way my overall look came altogether. It has all the elements of business casual along with that weekend comfort and flair I so often try to capture. I just wish I thought twice first before I sat on those friggin train tracks though…not my brightest moment!! *face palm* lol
