Black and Blue: Weekend Style

Have you ever had one of those days, where you did not want to put too much effort in anything because you were either too busy or felt lethargic? For me, this
day was exactly that! There were plenty of things to accomplish on the list of tasks, and
thankfully I did manage to check off a grand ninety percent of them. However, there were
loads of other tasks being added throughout the day to complete.

This was an outfit that I wore for a casual outing; in my
attempt to meet a friend for brunch and a bit of vintage shopping.
Additionally, I also had to pick up some fabrics for a few projects, and for
some reason a dress was the only thing that I wanted to wear. All-in-one comfort! But, the check-list
pile wasn’t entirely alarming, as we were able to treat ourselves later in the
evening and partake in spa time.

I decided to play with the idea of my vintage slip as a
dress (something that I’ve often done in the past), and pair it with my denim
jacket. I absolutely wanted a no-fuss look,
since I knew that I was going to essentially be running about town all day. It was such an easy to-go ensemble! A
dash of mascara, and a favourite lip colour was all that I needed to complete
the look. 

Perhaps,
you’re like me and have a few weekend combinations that you continuously
love to wear! What’s your favourite weekend ensemble at the moment?

    This is one of my favourites – the dress looks wonderful on you and I love the lace detailing. Your shoes are the most beautiful shade of blue.

    This sort of things happens to me far more often than I'd like to admit, Madison – but I think some of the best outfits come from that feeling of just wanting something that will feel good, I think it takes us back to the root of our style and what we really love in fashion. This outfit is so simple but so wonderfully elegant. The blue boots are a perfect touch!

    I absolutely love that outfit! denim, lace, those pretty shades of blue – such a stunning whole. plus those booties are the coolest!
    my easiest go-to look usually includes a pair of jeans/pants, a top/tee and a sweater or cardi on top of it. that's during colder days of course. summer means dresses dresses dresses! 😉

    I have days like that all the time. Sometimes all I want to do is dress up and other times that's the farthest thing from my mind. I think the lace works as a dress, especially with the denim jacket addition.

    That's pretty classy for casual! Love how you've reworked the slip as dress – reminds me of the good old days of vintage slips as dresses back in the nineties.

    I love the blue heels, I think I do have a couple of weekend outfits that I rely on when I'm feeling a bit lazy. Part of the problem is I actually have very little wardrobe space. This means I tend to just end up picking what I can see in front of me, not ideal and this is what a lot of people do that I actually warn against.

    It's a beautiful slip dress Madison. I love the lace details. I felt that way for 2 weeks. HaHa I had a growing list of things to do, but could only get the bare necessities done. Yesterday, I completed a majority of them which made me feel better. I hate when things pile up.

    Gorgeous. I love wearing slips as dresses. Sometimes I get told I forgot my dress when I do, which makes me laugh, but it's just an easy option and they look so pretty with the lace trims. Beautiful. I hope you have a lovely week doll xx

    Fabulous! I've worn vintage slips as dresses at festivals but as mine are lace and see-through I probably would spare my fellow townsfolk flashing my pants on a normal occasion! You look stunning.
