Easy Steps to Elevate a Basic Outfit

Graphic T-Shirt - code: ALEX10


Earrings - use code: JUNE23POTM Love how super lightweight these are. The perfect statement earring with a versatile neutral color + some bonus natural texture to add interest to a look.


Bracelet - code: ALEX10


Necklace - code: ALEX10


Jeans - TTS - code: ALEX15 If you are between two denim sizes go with your larger size. Love the rise on these as the perfect not too high high rise to please everybody. They are a true long wide leg and do not need to be cuffed. I just did that for fun with this look.


Sandals - code: ALEXDAVIESLIVING for 20% OFF your first purchase. Run a tad small. Go up one half size.


Fashion tape to keep your cuffs in place all day.

Here are some easy tweaks and accessories you can add to your basic look to start feeling more polished and grow your outfit confidence. You don’t have to add them all. Start with one or two and then experiment with more! 


1. Tuck your tee. This will refine a cute graphic tee like this Sela Designs tee from their first ever apparel launch. 


2. Cuff the sleeves to add some more intentional styling. 


3. Monochrome is always a chic option. You can take the same basic tee + jeans recipe but swap for a matching colored jean that feels next level. 


4. Jewelry simply layered or in a statement earring is always a good way to elevate a casual outfit. My pieces are from Sela Designs where 100% of the proceeds are donated to help end human trafficking. Use code: ALEX10 


5. Belt the jeans to define the waist and add extra detail and interest for the look. 


6. Shoes are always a game changer. Opt for a slightly elevated sandal and grow in confidence from there. 


7. Jacket or an open button down makes a great third piece to help complete an basic look.
