Practically Fancy | How to Master Dressy Casual Style

And don’t get me wrong, I love a pretty dress or a flirty skirt – but, during these cooler months, I don’t always feel like wearing them. Instead, I feel like staying home in my pajamas and indulging myself in a night of tea and binge watching some Netflix series. Occasionally, I give in to this feeling – and that means I miss out on some seriously fun nights. While I’ve never really had “fomo”, I also don’t want to snooze away my winter and miss out on important moments with friends and family. That’s why I have come up with a new take on dressing up. vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, dressy casual attire, semi formal attire, casual dressy attire vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog,vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, dressy casual attire, semi formal attire, casual dressy attire

What is “Dressy Casual Attire”?

Dressy casual style is basically a mixture of pieces which you’d consider your casual go-to’s with pieces that are slightly more elevated and sophisticated. So for example, my basic black jeans would be my casual go-to while the embellished top would be what elevates this look. Add in a pair of heels or a stylish pair of flats and your look will begin to have that practical-meets-dressy vibe. The best way to complete this (or any) sort of look is with accessories, so add in a great handbag, necklace, or watch to your look to really elevate the overall appearance of it.

Lately, I’ve had a slight obsession with tops with feminine embellishments. So often I find that I am dressed in extremes – a t-shirt + jeans combo one day, and a fit and flare dress the next. But this embellished blouse paired with my favourite go-to American eagle jeans seems to strike somewhere in the middle. I feel as though I am Goldy Locks when I say all this, but the truth is that these sorts of tops aren’t too fancy, nor too casual. They sit somewhere perfectly in the middle.

Dressy-casual outfits like this are great because they balance sophistication with practicality. While you couldn’t wear this to a wedding, you could easily sport this look to a dinner out with friends and family, or to a gathering at a friends house. Just remember to pack a coat and scarf to keep yourself extra-cozy during the moments you’re outdoors.

[AD] It drives me a bit crazy when I see littered [AD] It drives me a bit crazy when I see littered single-use items, like water bottles, on hiking trails. Single-use items are used for a short time, but they have a lasting impact on our environment. I believe nature is sacred and we need to cherish it, support it, and respect it. That’s why when I go on a hike I always make sure to bring my reusable water bottle.

Carrying a reusable water bottle is a simple Superhabit that you can implement anywhere you go! So this summer stay hydrated and stay environmentally responsible with a reusable water bottle! #WhatsYourSuperhabit
[ AD ] What is your favourite summertime activity? [ AD ] What is your favourite summertime activity? One of my top favourites: Picnicking! I love heading outdoors with a few delicious treats and soaking up some sunshine. Picnicking in a responsible and environmentally conscious way is really important to me and that’s why I implement easy Superhabits - like using reusable containers, water bottles, and glassware - whenever I head outdoors.

“I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 I s “I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 

I saw so many powerful messages today from people sharing their "why" — the reason behind why they were there and standing as one of the "fringe". Here's a few reasons that I saw and heard: 

- Why? Because I want my child to grow seeing smiles and smiling
- Why? Because I miss my family and loved ones.
- Why? Because my lived experience tells me not to trust what is happening right now. 
- Why? Because I believe in our informed consent principles.
- Why? Because I believe in choice without coercion. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my job as a healthcare worker. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my business. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my home. 
- Why? Because I’ve been injured. 
- Why? Because I think there’s a better way forward for everyone. 
- Why? Because I chose what I knew was best for me and I want everyone else to be free to do that as well. 

Everyone has a unique reason why, and it’s important to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge them. Now is the time. Let's come together and be united💛
