About a week ago plans were made to go on a double date to Applebee’s with my boyfriend, his close friend, a girl his close friend has recently started seeing, and myself. Since I am far past the point of trying to impress my date I didn’t really dress up for the occasion. Other than Applebee’s I had minimal plans so I could have gone in leggings and a grubby sweatshirt. But I did want the double date to be a tad more formal, even for Applebee’s, so I wore jeans and a cute shirt I pulled from the back of my closet. I was comfortable and felt casual enough for Applebee’s while still feeling presentable for the occasion.

The shirt I chose is a tan-ish color, which I consider an earthy tone, so I wore it with my murky green ED tennis shoes. The outfit was very simple and easy to put together. I’ve had the shirt forever so I honestly don’t remember where it’s from, but the jeans are new from Old Navy and the shoes were probably from T.J. Max since they’re name brand and my mom just gave them to me.

Applebee’s was delicious!

Yesterday I wore a flowy cream shirt with dark jeans and even darker tall black boots. A typical Thursday for me involves jeans, and my closet is arranged in such an order as to accommodate the season. The morning of I grabbed this shirt since it was next in line and thought it matched best with my dark jeans as opposed to regular blue jeans, light jeans, patterned jeans, or my green jeans. Looking at the shoes in my closet I felt that sneakers weren’t appropriate with the business casual look but my short black boots would get ruined if the weather decided it was going to rain again. So the tall black boots it was.

The shirt is from T.J. Max when my mom and I decided I needed more professional-looking clothing for any future interviews or internships. I wear it casually but once I enter the professional world I will still be able to sport it, but probably with dressier pants and shoes. These jeans are nice because they are dark, so they appear nicer than regular blue jeans, but they are actually really comfortable too. They aren’t too tight even though they are technically skinny so it’s nice to have pants that feel good to wear and make me feel like I look good. The boots are a replacement pair for a different set of tall black boots that I had, wore all the time, and had to get rid of due to the soles literally ripping apart. These new ones are being worn just as often so we’ll see how long they last before I need to get a new pair again.
