Casual Chic never had it this good

I fell in love with this uber comfy look and when it came in cashmere and on sale it was not be ignored

Building blocks for a capsule wardrobe should be versatile comfortable and easy to pack. I fell in love with this cranberry color Chico’s Black Label set that also comes in black. You will see the Joggers on repeat but in very different iterations. Here with the cashmere V Neck and pants I can easily go from ladies lunch to shopping. Nothing makes a look more than accessories and here, the cranberry color pairs so well with blue

A note on sustainability…………. I always carry a bag for my purchases including groceries. An item like this of the moment Dior book bag or something similar will pay dividends in the long run. If I am carrying a crossbody I have a string bag like this one from Hive It’s the perfect solution and reminds me of my childhood
The very same look from the opening shot can easily be transformed with a pair of shoes I have had these Louboutin pumps for almost twenty years and now they are back in circulation (or maybe they never left)
Pack these staple Pants easy to slip on, not as form fitting as leggings , these and others Comfy pants are perfect
Out to dinner? No problem with the essential Cashmere Tank and
Jeweled cardi
I’m not much for bling but I couldn’t resist this ever so slightly embellished Poncho Wear the tank under it or the v neck sweater if it’s cold enough to need your arms covered . Its the perfect go anywhere look. Trade out the heels for my new favorite Booties

Don’t forget the accessories in this case the Mandala ring one of the many Cocktail Rings and beautiful pieces you can travel with comfortably
One last fun look ……… I took a chance on this one when I ran into these Zara Sequin Pants that are now on super sale They fit like super comfy stretchy jeans! (I just don’t know how to link them)
Here is a quick shoe recap. The Gucci sneakers and Dior slides were purchased off https://www.therealreal.com/
I was lucky to score the fantastic Art Deco Chanel bag from TheRealReal
It’s also good to remember you can find wonderful straw pieces at your local markets.
Jewelry is easy to pack and can really change up a look. This cranberry color is really acting like a neutral. I picked accents of blue for some looks, green for others and a more predictable black and cream for evening. Experiment with your own items. You might be surprised how many colors work for you.
