Finally! This has been one of my most requested posts, so I hope you all find it helpful!
I do enjoy posting outfit inspiration or ootd's with nicer clothes, like dresses and skirts for church or fancier occasions, but let's be honest. That's not generally what we're wearing everyday! During the summer, you'll normally find me in a pair of shorts and a tee shirt on a weekday, so this post is going to be about how you can wear things like that, but still make it look cute! (Not that I'm the expert tho haha, I should probably refer to my own tips more often!)
But anyway, here are some points I thought of on how to look cute in athletic/casual clothes. Let's begin!
1. Wear nice clothes that are in good condition.
This is a super basic tip, but it's worth adding in. Make sure your clothes are clean and not super wrinkly, because if you just slept in that tee shirt, it's probably going to show! And definitely avoid holes and rips too.
2. Wear a piece that adds a pretty pop of color.
My favorite athletic/casual summer pieces are my black athletic shorts, and I'm guessing a lot of you love those type of shorts too! So by adding a bright, pretty colored tee shirt, or something with a cute pattern, like floral on it, to something like shorts or sweats, you can really sweeten up the outfit! Color makes you stand out, and it's also great to have some bold, bright statement piece in your outfit for photos.
3. Wear colors that compliment you.
This one is kind of a sub-tip from #2. Wear colors that go well with your skin tone and eye color. Wearing the right colors can instantly make you look amazing! There are whole books on it, and I'm sure a lot on the internet, so it might be worth it for ya'll to check out what colors you look best in. :)
4. Wear cute shoes.
Wear whatever kind of shoes you want, but make sure they're cute and they go nicely with your outfit! I think all types of sandals and Converse/Vans etc are the cutest :))
5. Accessorize!
"A thing that can be added to something else in order to make it more useful, versatile, or attractive", accessories are definitely something that can add to your outfit! Whether it be some cute bracelets (fun friendship bracelets you make yourself, PuraVida jewelry, or even a bright, happy colored scrunchy), a ring or two, a necklace, or maybe even just some earrings.
6. Hair and makeup.
Try wearing a bit of makeup. You don't need a full-on glam look, but just adding some color to your face and accenting your beautiful features can make you look fresh and pretty! And doing something cute with your hair like letting it be down long, curling it, wearing it in braids, or a cute messy bun, are all good options!
7. Attitude.
So this isn't exactly a fashion tip, but it is definitely something that will make you prettier!! Wear a smile! Everyone looks more beautiful when they're happy and glowing. It's not about just looking pretty on the outside, but being pretty on the inside.
OH, and I just remembered I have one last extra special style tip (Tip #7 1/2)...you can completely upgrade your look by getting one of THESE awesome tees!! I happen to know the designer personally 😏😘 plus, if you use the code FREESHIP, you get....drumroll....free shipping!!

Well, that's all I can think of for this post. Now that I just reread this post, I don't know if it's actually that helpful lol 😂 but hopefully you enjoyed it :)
