Dressed Down Chic.








Top: Target // Shorts: J. Crew Factory // Shoes: Marshall's {similar} // Earrings: {Mine are from a jewelry store in Maine, tassel earrings at similar price point linked here!} // Bracelet: Kate Spade {old, similar style here} // Lips: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Demure


    
      There are a variety of adjectives that can describe my personal style, but I would say that my outfits usually represent descriptive words such as "colorful," "glam," and sometimes even "over the top." But every now and then, I like to keep things casually chic. This simple shorts outfit that I wore while studying for exams last week is a perfect example of what it looks like when I dress down. This is a functional outfit that is still put-together and coordinating, but not too overdone. 

     Everything that I'm wearing in this outfit has been featured on my blog before! I know that many of y'all enjoy my restyled fashion posts, so I try and incorporate them into my content from time to time. It definitely isn't realistic for someone on my budget to be wearing new clothes 100% of the time, so I enjoy finding creative ways to re-wear pieces that I already own. 


    Also! The tassel earrings that I'm wearing here are a favorite pair of mine, and I got an incredible bargain on them at one of my favorite stores back home in Maine. (Incredible bargain as in I paid under $5!) But the good news for all of you is that I found a similar pair of tassel earrings online at an equally similar price point, these are also priced under $5! 



     Be sure that you're following me on Snapchat- tomorrow evening I'm scheduled to be starting something exciting for the blog and I can't wait to share more! My Snapchat username is the same as my Instagram: @miss_alk.


    Hope everyone is having a great week!

  3. Your styled down look is super cute. I love dressed up and super girly outfits as well but there are definitely days that I opt for something cute and casual. In fact, yesterday I wore a really similar look with pink shorts and a striped top. Super cute girl!

  4. J Crew shorts are THE BEST! I feel like the colors each season are so bright and colorful and they fit me nicely (not too short!!)
