19 Jun 2017 Conquer the weekend in style

by Georgie McCarthy

Because summer is under way and every weekend is filled with brunches, shopping and barbecues, I thought we needed to discuss how to elevate a weekend look from boring and dull to effortlessly fabulous! 

In usual Georgie form, I have compiled my personal tips to create the perfect weekend ensemble from head to toe. Keep reading to find out how I put the look together, while still staying comfy on the weekends.

Add a blazer

Update a graphic tee and mom jeans by topping off the outfit with a sleek blazer. Nothing says sophistication and class quite like a blazer can. I like to throw on a blazer if I’m going for brunch or for a girl’s day of shopping. This blazer, in particular, is lightweight and oversized, so it’s comfy.

Add a pop of color

Another way to change dull weekend attire is to add a little color. A fun color like red or yellow, instead of your go-to grey, will always elevate an outfit and make it look as though you put in more effort.

Throw on some interesting shoes

An interesting pair of shoes can instantly transform an outfit. Try trading tennis shoes for a fun pair of mules or some velvet boots, like Steve Maddens. (Also remember, any type of pointed shoe, in particular, will make an outfit look more sophisticated.)

Add some fun lipstick

A little lipstick or some bright blush always makes you look more summer ready and awake. Try a pop of red or a pink for summer this weekend.

Trade jeans for a skirt

If you’re a comfort kind of gal and you couldn’t possibly see yourself not in a sweatshirt this weekend, I have a solution. That comfy weekend sweatshirt can become stylish if you just switch your jeans or sweatpants for a skirt instead, like I did.

Accessorize

Adding a little bling makes any outfit more exciting, but especially simple weekend attire. Spice it up with a little gold necklace or some colorful statement earrings.  

Next Saturday, when you’re tempted to just throw on some sweats and tennis shoes, think of some of these tips. You’ll have everyone asking how you look so put together on the weekend!
