Happy Tuesday everyone! I wore this look over the weekend to celebrate Drew’s 29th birthday. I love to dress up on weekend nights, especially ones where we’re celebrating something special, like a birthday, but I also don’t like to be too overdressed. To avoid this, one of my favorite ways to style a look is to juxtapose pieces, pair casual items with dressy items. An embellished top, tailored blazer and /or heels paired with distressed denim jeans, like this ensemble, strike the perfect balance between laid back and dressed up. How do you give your dressy pieces a more laid back vibe?

This outfit is beautiful as always! I do the same thing when I want to dress up but not too much. I also combine a dress and add a fitted denim jacket to bring the dress to a more casual vibe. Who takes your pictures?? And what kind of equipment do you use? They are always beautiful, aside from the fact that you are beautiful too!

This look is beyond perfect on you Rach! I can’t get enough of tailored white blazers and silver heels this year (not to mention distressed jeans). Can’t wait to try out a similar look for my 2 year anniversary dinner.

I adore this look. The color scheme is beautiful. A blazer is always my go-to for dressing up something casual, along with a pair of heels and a swipe of a bright lipstick! xx

Rachel I love this look. The sequins are just perfect, and the blazer being white makes it still feel like a summer outfit. I am definitely a fan:) My go to for a dressy laid back look is adding that dressy feel with amazing accessories. Sometimes an outfit just needs a little sparkle. Like you did with this super cute top!!! Love it. Hope you have a great day!!!!

Gorgeous look and Happy Birthday to your husband! I love mixing sparkle with denim and the YSL Chyc clutch gives the look the perfect pop of color. I just love that iconic “Y”… I wear my tote all the time. Will have to check out these jeans! They look like they are perfectly distressed.

Love your outfit! I’ve tended to shy away from sequins for spring/summer (they just seem more winter-y to me), but you nailed this look. Thanks for the inspiration! :)
