I took these photos the other day in London. The weather was nice and I was in the mood for some outfit photos. I am loving the casual style look this summer. I find it dead comfy and so easy to style. It literally takes me minutes to put an outfit together, and as a busy mum of 2, every minute counts.
I need my outfits to be totally comfortable, but yet very stylish! The kids are on summer holidays for the next few weeks, so that means we are super busy, trying to make the most of what we have left of summer (weather permitting), and juggling all sorts. Life is incredibly busy at the moment, but I won’t have it any other way.
How to Rock the Casual Style Look
Here are 2 style tips I stick to –
Focus on the Accessories
Keep everything else cool, and focus on the accessories. In my case, I am drawing all the attention to my sandals and my sunnies and it works. For you to get the Casual Style look right, your accessories have to do the talking. So scarves, sunnies, hats, footwear, bags, should be the focus, and not the actual outfit. And not all at once. I see some people rocking their accessories collection all in 1 outfit. That is not a good look.
Stick to a maximum of 2 colours
For you to get the casual styling look right, you should stick to a maximum of 2 clothes (not counting black or white). Anything more would be a little too much for a casual look. I would also avoid colour blocking for a when it comes to nailing a casual style, and I rather opt for monochrome colours as they are safer and easier to style casual.

You always look great! Even when you’re casual you look smarter than me most days!
Thank you.
I love that top. In the week I tend to stick to a comfy top, leggings and Vans. It just makes it easier when running around after two little ones.
Thanks Emma. Comfy outfit is the way to go with kids..

Thanks Sonia.
I love the shoes! All of my graphic tees are a little bit on the crazy side (color wise and prints) so I would love to try it but I’ll have to stick to one or two colors like you said, and make the rest of the outfit neutral.
Thanks Melissa.
Great look. I tend to go for jeans and a patterned t shirt most days but love a patterned skirt and plain top in summer or a dress.
Thanks..
