This look is probably one of the most casual and laid back looks I’ve worn in a long time! Even when running errands I’m not a jeans and tennis shoes type gal. However, I am all for trying something new when it comes to what I wear! When my hubby and I took a short road trip for my birthday, I knew I wanted to be comfy and warm as the day was chilly and rainy. This outfit definitely fit both those categories! I’m glad I stepped outside my comfort zone to try a different look, but I did realize three things to keep in mind when doing so:

  1. If you’re changing the style, keep with colours you love (i.e. maroon and navy for me); if changing colours, keep with silhouettes you know work for you.
  2. Keep one piece that is a tried and true for you. I wear these jeans all the time! I normally dress them up, but loved giving them a dress down.
  3. Confidence is key! Wearing a different look can be uncomfortable, we all find identity in our looks. You can pull off anything though if you keep your chin up and smile.

I was inspired to give the look a go by this cozy navy sweatshirt from Bblackbox, a company I am so excited to partner with! Bblackbox is a collaboration of American artists who create handmade items, with American produced materials. Not only do they promote made in America, but they also donate 10% of all profits to Love146 (helps victims of sex trafficking and exploitation) and Living Water International (provides wells and clean water). I am so impressed with the quality of this navy fleece lined sweatshirt, and knowing that wearing it is helping others makes my heart so happy. Bblackbox carries so many unique and amazing products that I highly recommend checking out.

Use the code “makemineMaroon15” to receive  15% off your purchase until September 1st!!! This company is seriously amazing, the work they are doing is so important and I would greatly appreciate any boost you give them. Happy Wednesday loves!

    First of all you look amazing in everything! Love this laid back look on you! I hope that you had a great bday my dear!! On another note… I used to partner with love 146 when I lived in CT. They were based out of a town near by and the leader would often come and share at our church. He actually ended up adopting some of the victims. I love that this company gives back to them! They do a lot in the Philippines and Cambodia! Amazing!!!! xo

    A few days ago I won a ZX Flux in the competetion of polish brand. I want to choose these shoes, but I choose basic, black version. I’m so sad about this, because this shoes look perfect on the leg. 🙂

    A lot of love for you :)!
