Today’s post features a pair of rolled cuff jeans worn 2 ways, for day + night:

• Look 1: Perfect for running errands/an out-and-about day when you’re toting kids to the park/weekend activities, grocery shopping and such.  I simply paired a button down sweater with jeans and flats.  To glam up the look (who says you can’t glam up a casual look:-) , I added a gold belt.  Quick hack=you don’t always have to wear a layer under a button down sweater.  You can wear it buttoned, as a stand-alone top.

• Look 2: Features the same pair of jeans with ankle boots and a dress-worn-as-a-tunic.  Another hack=if you have a short dress or a dress that may not be appropriate for the office, church or other setting, simply pair it with a pair of jeans or leggings.  That instantly turns it into more of a top-pants combo.  For the cooler fall days/nights ahead, simply throw on a leather jacket or even a cape and you’re ready to brave the elements.

Would love to hear from you.  What are some of your go-to casual staples?  Jeans, sweat pants, leggings,other?
