Casually Chic, Simply done.

While out at the Farmers Market Today, three people really caught my eye. Not because they were dressed outrageously, or so fashionably that they stood out from the crowd; but because each of these people were dressed appropriately for a casual Sunday morning in the sun to buy produce while still looking stylish and sophisticated.
It was the way they were able to dress in an understated manner that allowed them to be distinguished among the crowd, yet fit in. In these same looks, any one of these three could have easily moved on to a nice lunch in San Francisco or even a casual business meeting.

• The first woman who caught my eye was wearing a simple black collared shirt, Black pants that fit her perfectly, a fitted vest in a mossy teal, simple black loafers and a strand of big fabulous Pearls. Without the pearls that caught a tone of grey in her hair I probably would have not noticed her. That simple addition to a very basic, yet elegantly simple outfit, made her distinctive

• The next person I saw whose outfit really caught my attention was a man in Jeans and t-Shirt. The Jeans were a simple dark wash with a hint of fading; he wore a grey t-shirt with a brown pattern on the front, and a cotton sport coat in the same brown tone. His shoes and belt were unremarkable, but in a similar brown so the whole look somehow related while still looking accidental. This guy, in a casual manner looked really chic. Again this simple outfit caught my eye with the single element of repeating color.

• Finally a woman in navy caught my eye. This woman was the most elegantly dressed person I’ve ever seen at the Farmers Market, yet she still looked like she fit right in. She wore all Navy: shoes, pants, and a knit top under a longer white and navy cardigan. Her hair was in a neat ponytail and she had simple silver studs in her ears. The brilliance of this outfit was simply in its neat simplicity.

What all three people had in common was simplicity with attention to the details. Nothing was too trendy or bold, yet they all had unmistakable style. They were dressed appropriately casual for the environment, but looked very chic so that you couldn’t help but notice of them.
Very Well Done!
