fashion: weekend casual

i am a casual girl. i really am. ask anyone who knows me, and they'll say "yeah, Ash definitely likes to keep it casual." because for me, causal is comfy. and comfy is good.  
     i have noticed a trend in how the weekend is approached from a fashion standpoint, and now is the perfect time of year to start this transition to weekend causal.  

i joined polyvore and made this fun collection. the point of weekend causal: to still look cute and fashionable while not dressing up. i have to dress up for work every day, and it's nice to still look put together but not to have to think about it to much. 

white tees are my best friend. i think they're classic, and they go with everything. the hat is because hair wash day is usually overdue, and there's no bad hair day that this adorable straw fedora can't conceal. with this look, i like to use a statement piece, and build around it. these pants screamed at me, and i was smitten. the color palate feels like it should be paired with neutrals, and so i did. feel free to experiment with different colors and patterns! the sandals, bag, and polish choices are all along the same vein of color, but you could substitue with black or pinker tones. to me, this outfit says "take me to brunch, and pass the mimosas." 

     my last piece of advice on weekend casual (this really shows how laid back i am):: i plan my Sunday make up based around the possibility of a nap. there i said it. that translated to zero eyeliner, and lots of cheek color to compensate. 

follow me on polyvore at *ashleigh-butt* and we can all make these awesome outfit inspiration boards. i'm working on a radiance collective pinterest account too! 

happy weekending. :)
