As I have not had too much time to share style posts, I thought that I would share with you a look that I wore weeks ago. Also, a massive “thank you” goes out to you dear readers for the overwhelmingly lovely birthday messages, comments, and wishes.
For this outfit, I needed to change quickly into something presentable right after working out, however I didn’t need to be fancy or anything. My only destination was meeting a friend for coffee after a long work day and a gym session. I swapped my clutch for a utility messenger bag and my heels for a more sportier shoe, a colourful running cross-trainer! Comfort and style was the overall tone that I was going for.
I changed into this linen utility skirt that I have actually had for a couple of years, then added a cardigan knit that I designed and sewed many years ago. Therefore, much of this outfit is a considerable amount of remixing versatile pieces that I’ve not worn in quite some time.
There you have it, an easy transition for casual wear. For me, versatility is everything these days!
The goods: Messenger bag-Delias, Trainers-Saucony, Cardigan-Ladyofashion design, Linen Skirt-H&M, Belt-Vintage, Jewellery-Love Culture/Nordstrom

nice transformation!
So nice! I'm a fan of the training shoes trend as they can add a quirky, relaxed touch to the look and they are so comfortable!
Lovely casual outfit.

You are the best at accessorizing I swear! I love how you worked a skirt into a more casual/active wear kind of outfit. I never think to do this, yet I imagine it would be perfect for those days on the run. That is one cool bag too!

versatile and realistic! love it!
You know what I love about this look? As you say it, it's versatile, but you're showing us a 'real' life scenario. So many times, I wonder if fashion bloggers really dress the way they do because it seems so uncomfortable. You're showing us how to transform a look, in the middle of the day, to make it more suitable for a certain occasion. I love that! I think you pull it off greatly for a casual coffee with a friend. Keep up the fantastic work!! I'd love to see more of similar posts, like how to make use of your clothes after a night of shame haha.

versatility indeed! I know what you mean. Some days, I wanna just change one thing up with what I already have on and then out the door again! 🙂 Your self made cardigan is cute! I LOVE the color!
Hi dear…I appreciate your kind visit 🙂
That messenger bag is fantastic; and I am absolutely loving your trainers! 🙂
Great shade of blue.
I always carry a bag very simila when I travel
I really love the cut and the colour of the cardigan! So great that you made this yourself.
You know, Madison, I haven't been totally convinced by the sneaker trend… and then I saw this look. It's so perfectly put together, I wouldn't even have realised that you were wearing sneakers if you hadn't mentionned it! That's what I call truly mixing comfort and style 🙂

Happy belated birthday 🙂
I like your outfit as always. The bag is super lovely. I want one like that too 🙂 xxx
