Easy Outfits | Casual Friday Jeans + Cardigan

It’s the last weekend of summer for our family before heading back to school on Monday. Although I love having my kids at home, we’re starting to crave the structure and routine of the school year. Well, at least I am. I guess we’re as ready as we’re going to get – the school supplies are bought, uniform pieces are in place and we’ve even started going to bed earlier.

My teacher friends have already been back in school for a week. Before heading back, one of them challenged me to put together some cute, casual jeans outfits for her. There’s just one catch, they had to be from pieces she already had.

Challenge accepted.

Here’s one of the easy outfits I put together with items from her closet that you may already have in yours too. All it takes to create this casual Friday outfit is your favorite cardigan, a white button down and cuffed jeans. Then add in a fun belt, some comfortable colorful flats and a statement necklace for panache.

Clockwise from top left:

Cardigan – If your cardigans are in need of a refresh, this one comes in 23 different colors and has great reviews.

Button Down – A good white button down is one of the most versatile pieces in your closet. This one lends a more relaxed vibe.

Statement Necklace – This pretty sparkler with gold and crystals will dress up any casual Friday.

Cuffed Jeans – This favorite pair of cropped cuffed jeans is on sale.

Suede Flats – These flats have awesome reviews for comfort and they come in nine different colors. If you spend a lot of time on your feet, they could be the perfect pair for you.

Floral Belt – We found this fun floral belt on clearance. I like how it ties together all of the colors in this outfit. You can either wear the belt with your jeans and the cardigan open. Or button up the cardigan and wear the belt at your waist.

Satchel – This carryall is perfect for all of your work week essentials.
