How to Turn Blah Into Bam!

We all have our off days. Even style icons with racks of clothes wake up some mornings thinking "absolutely nothing looks good on me". What do we do with those off days? Default to jeans and a tee? Here is a great way to turn lazy into casual chic.





Change up the flare of your jean. If you normally grab a pair of straight legs, try reaching for your skinnies, or vice versa. If you're a devoted skinny fan, try simply rolling them up a little higher than normal, or unrolling them if you normally wear them cuffed. Changing up little things like this put a little pep in your step whether you realize it right away or not.





Try different necklines. We all have a couple crew-necks that we use for the gym or as pajamas. It can be really tempting to use these on off days. Instead, why not change up your neckline? Try a scoop or a v-neck for summer and a cowl or turtle neck for winter.

Don't be afraid to add a splash of color to your life, either! Instead of resorting to white or black, go for a bright-colored tee. Even something in more conservative colors like navy will still add a little bright spot to your day.




Add some outerwear! Layering screams "I put effort into this!" even if you didn't! Grab your favorite blazer, or a cute summer vest to punch up lazy-day basics. Plus any time you pair slouchy jersey-knits with structured pieces like jackets, the contrast amps up your casual cute look that much more.









Accessorize! Accessorizing is a girl's best friend, but can be difficult on off days. Try grabbing your favorite pair of sunglasses or a loose scarf, depending on the weather. Rock a simple belt with a tucked shirt. Stick to a bold earring, a big necklace or a chunky bangle, but keep it to one piece. If your accessories take longer than five minutes to pick out and put on, take some off.





Mix and match any of these suggestions and your next sick day will be that much more chic!
