I really liked Scooby with the camo pants. I honestly didn’t think it worked but it’s been my favorite combination so far. I’m glad the cargo vest is getting some love. I haven’t worn it much at all lately. I tend to default to the cropped vests most of the time.&nbsp;</p> <p>@amiable: Thank you. It’s nice to have super casual company around here!</p> <p>@Mo: Thanks so much. It’s taken me awhile to get here. I used to buy for my imaginary life--and sometimes still do. The fact is, I am 98% casual. Even when we do manage to go out, it’s almost always still casual! Love graphic tees too but try to keep those in check--cats and scooby :)</p> <p>@Suz: Thanks! You are definitely in the polished casual camp but I think your style is much more elegant than mine. Your style is what I aspire to. My other major consideration is whether something is machine washable. I’m too lazy for special care items. Wash and wear is my mantra (preferably no ironing too.)&nbsp;</p> <p>@MsKatieKat: Thanks!</p> <p>@pil: Thank you. I’m glad that my outfits come across as interesting. After wearing them all summer, I’ve begun to tire of them a bit. I’m ready for fall I ended up returning the greyish capris but kept the white ones. I couldn’t really figure out how to style them--white seemed like the best option and I already had black. They had navy when I went back to return but figured the color was too close to my dark denim so resisted those as well. Sorry they didn’t work out for you. The white ones were perfect for vacation.&nbsp;</p> <p>@lisap: Thanks! I’ve never been a vest person before YLF. I love them as a third piece. They manage to add a little interest and warmth in a mild climate.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Angie: Thank you. You are so sweet!&nbsp;</p> <p>@purple8: Thanks! I’ve always admired that kind of mom. I am tickled to&nbsp;be considered one!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338658 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 17:40:32 +0000 purple8 1338658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so cute, and you have this little "there might be mischief" element to your smile, which makes the tee extra fun. I really love the pic with the rolled jeans and the vest. You are the type of mom I see at the park and envy because you look current, casual and stylish without having that contrived "I'm styled for casual day with the kids" look, if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338645 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 17:23:03 +0000 Angie 1338645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the best Neat and Polished&nbsp;rugged style on the planet. Loving all the outfits with sneaks especially. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338588 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 15:10:29 +0000 Anonymous 1338588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - you are so cute and pulled together in your casual clothes! &nbsp;I need a "capsule" like this! &nbsp;One should bookmark these 2 group photos and keep them for reference - I'm serious. &nbsp;My faves involve the vests - just because they are such a perfect summer layering piece. &nbsp;I have never owned a denim vest and this makes me think I should. &nbsp;No comment on the graphic t- I am way too old &nbsp;</p> <p>p.s. you have a great haircut </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338564 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 14:38:45 +0000 pil 1338564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kellygirl, as far as I'm concerned you are an icon of casual dressing. Your outfits would totally work in my world and you find interesting and fun pieces. The Scooby Doo shirt it just fun - your daighters probably tease you because they want the graphic tees for themselves. You found blue capris - did you end up keeping the grayish pair from Marshall's too? I went back to TJ Maxx to try the blue pair I had seen and they didn't fit. Either did the grayish pair you posted about. Then I decided I have enough clothes anyway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338557 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 14:28:36 +0000 MsLuna 1338557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, you always look amazing in casual! Love all those outfits! And it's always nice to wear a good graphic tee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338550 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 14:22:51 +0000 Suz 1338550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That graphic tee is adorable! And every one of these looks is fab. I am all in favour of dressing for the lives we really live. As you know, my every day wear is every bit as casual as this, just for a different temperature range, LOL. I try to bring a bit of "polish" to the casual since I'm not a RATE girl and at heart prefer dressier looks, but the reality is, casual clothes are right for my lifestyle, and I love being ready to get up and go at a second's notice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338536 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 13:47:54 +0000 Mo 1338536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great casual looks! &nbsp;I keep coming back to the fact that life as I live it 6 days out of 7 are just super casual and my clothing needs to reflect that. &nbsp;One date day/night a week does not necessitate 50% of my closet full of 'going out' clothes! &nbsp;It can be hard to make super casual still feel stylish, but you do. &nbsp;<br />I love a good graphic tee over 40 or not. &nbsp;Would love to find a few that really speak to me. ( I could have used this one when I found the Mystery Van in our neighborhood a few months ago. &nbsp;Would have been a priceless pic!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338437 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 04:06:34 +0000 amiable 1338437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great! &nbsp;I'm glad I'm not the only super casual one around here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338416 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 03:29:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1338416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, I do not tire of your casual outfits. You look so great in all of these; they suit you so well and are so current looking. Your graphic tee is really fun--I absolutely adore it with the blue camo pants for some reason. You've got the summer vest look down, too. I prefer the cargo style one on you, but the short denim one is a perfect topper for the longer skirt. You seem to have an expert feel for proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338407 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 03:18:08 +0000 Anonymous 1338407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits look perfect for casual summer days! I completely fail when I try to wear presentable casual outfits like these (I either look overdressed or like I'm just in sweats), so I'm envious of how well&nbsp;you can pull them off.&nbsp;And I don't think you can ever be too old for Scooby Doo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338403 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 03:12:56 +0000 nancy 1338403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much Kelly&nbsp;for the info. &nbsp;I'll attempt to track down some similar ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338388 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 02:59:48 +0000 bj1111 1338388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love with outfits 1/2. The dark blue camo is tdf. Thanks for the sizing tips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338088 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 21:13:38 +0000 Zibbets 1338088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so cute and put together in your awesome casual wear.<br />I love the graphic tee. I see Scooby Doo! Not inappropriate at all!<br />I think my favorite of these is the black dress and olive vest. Totes adorbs! :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338087 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 21:12:15 +0000 kellygirl 1338087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Fabbers! I love seeing casual WIWs and I’m glad that you can appreciate them too. Thanks for the cartoon tee love too :)</p> <p>@Tanya: Thanks! You are queen of the sleeveless vests! Your WIWs were incredibly inspirational to me too.</p> <p>@Tex: Thank you. I’ve been doing a lot of monochromatic lately. I think baring some skin prevents it from coming across as too dull. It also helps with the heat :)</p> <p>@nancy: Thanks! Most of my summer apparel is several seasons old. The pants in 2 are Old Navy from several seasons ago but I just ordered a pair of Atheta bottoms that are very similar in style. I’m linking them for you. The fabric is drapey and cool. They were capri length on me--mid calf. (I’m 5’3”) The white denim bottoms are from Lucky. I think I bought them a couple of years ago. The asymmetric skirt was a summer purchase for vacation. It’s Athleta although I can’t find it on the website. I found it in the sale area a couple of months ago. The green army vest is ON too--several seasons old. I have seen a bunch of these around though. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for you. Hope that helps.&nbsp;</p> <p>@rachylou: Thanks! DH laughs at the blue camo. He always asks if I’m going fishing :)</p> <p>@dianthus: Thanks!&nbsp;</p> <p>@Aida: Thank you. That’s one good thing about Threadless tees. The girly versions are more flattering than the run of the mill tee although their sizing is whack. I will give the vest a try with white--you always have such great suggestions.&nbsp;</p> <p>@jackiec: Thanks! The blue camo are Gap Skinny Minis. They might still be on the final sale area of the website. I bought these last summer, I think. I guess they weren’t big sellers. The fit is kind of weird on these--baggy in the waist and tight in the calves. Not really sure how they are suppose to fit but I couldn’t get the 6s over my calves so these are an 8. Belt is required.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338069 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:49:44 +0000 jackiec 1338069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE your casual! And I love the graphic Ts as well - so fun. Can you share what those awesome camo pants are?? And of course I adore the SE's, mine are workhorses too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338061 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:45:49 +0000 Aida 1338061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly you look fab as ever in all of your blues! All of your casual looks have a great sporty-slouchy vibe to them. And clearly those sneakers were a good purchase I don't mind the tee, especially since it doesn't have that really high crew neck and oddball sleeves that "tee shirts" have, you know? I'd love to see that utility vest paired with a bucket of white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338059 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:44:06 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1338059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those camo pants are super. &nbsp;The vest over dress is casual but looks like nice casual to me. &nbsp;Same with the skirt and denim jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>You do casual very well Kelly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338052 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:41:15 +0000 rachylou 1338052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those dark blue camos... but oh the things kids say. I had myself a hoot when DD was 8 and she told me rap was *her generation's* music. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338050 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:40:49 +0000 nancy 1338050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b><i></i></b><i>You look adorable in all the outfits - my own&nbsp;personal style mimics yours. &nbsp;Could you share with me where you purchased &nbsp;the bottoms in pics 2,3,5 and also the green</i><i></i><i>&nbsp;vest!</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338045 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:35:44 +0000 texstyle 1338045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to see others are posting their casual wear too. I esp. like outfits #1 and #2. You look pulled together and relaxed and I love how #2 is dark colors but still feels very much like a summer outfit. Great shoe choices and pants scrunching on those too.&nbsp; The cartoon t-shirt looks like it would make you smile so that gives it a thumbs up for me. There's nothing age inappropriate about it to me and I kind of like how it's styled with those camo pants and the white belt and light shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338038 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:26:51 +0000 Tanya 1338038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome casual outfits.&nbsp; I especially like the ones with the vests, and those slip-on sneaks are great.<br />I do not think the graphic tee is inappropriate at all, enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-super-casual-2#post-1338035 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 20:22:56 +0000 kellygirl 1338035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just when you thought I couldn't get any more casual. I'm getting lazy, I guess, although Angie's blog post inspired me to pull out the vests. Perfect timing for me since it has been&nbsp;just cool enough to wear a light third piece.&nbsp;I have a couple of graphic tees that come out to play every once in awhile--DDs think they are hilarious (on me) but I still like them for super casual days. Do you find them funny or inappropriate on some one in their late 40s?&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for looking. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!</p>
