P L A I D - & - S L A C K S

There's something overly satisfying about wearing business casual clothing for non-business reasons, not that I wouldn't mind rockin' a more dressed up version of this outfit for future adult-type endeavors. I have a deep love (and need) for more classics and essentials in my wardrobe, so I was stoked when I found these high-waisted black slacks for cheap at my favorite rummage-through-it-all quick stop. Simple slacks are great for dressing up and even dressing down any outfit. My Nike footgear seemed like the best way to achieve a more casual look without appearing like I was up next for an interview (whelp!). Falling back to my all neutral color scheme, I cropped this thrifted tee to add a bit more grey, as if this cloudy shoot didn't have enough dim lighting to hold it's own.

I love sheer fabrics and when this tee arrived at my doorstep, I was already planning out different pieces to pair it with. Sheer pieces are great because they allow you to play with the level of skin you want to reveal in a somewhat subtle way. For this look I wanted something simple that left the sheer aspect of the outfit as the central area of focus. The mesh skirt was surprisingly somewhat of an after thought, but a happy one if that. I look forward to trying this baby out with many different pieces. Baggy mom jeans, I'm coming for ya.
