Last weekend, I had a fun and fabulous Girl’s Night Out with my friend Rita. It had been a really busy week with my children’s activities, as well as my own, so an evening out was exactly what I needed. The busy week meant I did not have a chance to think about my Girls Night Out outfit! The horror!

I didn’t have a chance to hit the gym that week, so I was feeling a little larger than usual. I decided I needed to wear something which made me feel thin; and since I was tired from the week, I also wanted to feel comfortable. This meant I needed to reach for my current go-to Girls Night Out outfit.

An all-black, casual outfit is always perfect for heading out with the girls. I love how comfortable these jeans are, and this top is turning out to be my favorite black top of the season. It looks great during the day, and at night! I also love how it look with cut-offs; this top will get a lot of wear this summer too! Love that!

Rita and I met at a chic restaurant in Los Gatos named “Verge.” The food was fabulous, the atmosphere was chic, and everyone who worked there was extremely friendly and nice. It was a great dining experience all around. I highly recommend Verge for a Girls Night Out, or a dinner out with your significant other. I cannot wait to go back for dinner again! Yum!

After dinner, we enjoyed walking through downtown Los Gatos, and chatting it up! It was the perfect Girls Night Out after a super busy week. This Girls Night Out outfit turned out to be ideal for the evening. It was comfortable, simple, and my shoes were easy to walk in. Love that!

Every summer season, I have a casual, go-to outfit. My weekend casual summer outfit for this year is definitely the one pictured in this post! The pants are comfortable and cool, the top is soft, and more interesting than your average tee, and these shoes! We have to talk about these shoes!

Espadrilles are fabulous in the summer months. They are comfortable, and make walking on the beach a breeze. I cannot go through a summer season without a fabulous pair of espadrilles, or two, or maybe three! Ha!

These Tory Burch espadrilles offer a small wedge, so they are comfortable. I love small wedges or heels because they offer just the right amount of arch support. I have worn this pair several times already and they are so comfortable for walking, and wearing throughout the day. They have become my go-to pair of shoes on casual days. Love them!

This top has quickly become one of my favorite casual shirts. I love how it looks with these cropped twill pants, as well as jeans, cut-off shorts, twill short, and denim skirts. It is a really versatile, casual top for the spring and summer months. It will easily be a part of any weekend casual summer outfit no matter which bottom I choose. Love that!

The bracelet I am wearing is from Kendra Scott’s summer 2016 collection. I love this bracelet because it is convertible! The tassel is removable, so the bracelet can be worn as-is with the tassel, or as a chunky chain bracelet without the tassel. I prefer wearing the tassel, I love how fun it is! I am tempted to pick it up in gold-tone too. Kendra Scott’s entire summer collection is to-die-for. You can check it out online here.

Casual spring flares

casual flare jeans for spring casual flare jeans for spring casual flare jeans for spring mansur gavriel bucket bag in pink

Pictured: Sunglasses: Chanel / Earrings: Kendra Scott / Lipstick: c/o Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa / Tee: Banana Republic (yes again, I love this tee!) / Necklace: Kendra Scott / Jeans: Gap / Handbag: Mansur Gavriel / Bracelet: Kendra Scott / Nail Polish: Dior Cosmic / Booties: Sam Edelman

I cannot get enough of my casual flares for spring. These jeans are really comfortable, and I love the vintage inspired details around the pockets. They have a 1970s look to them, which I find irresistible!

This was a great outfit for shopping in Historic Downtown Truckee when we visited Lake Tahoe during spring break. The downtown area has so many cute shops! We ended up buying fudge, caramel apples, and chocolate popcorn at “Sweets Handmade Candies” on Donner Pass Road. It is definitely a must-see if you are in the Truckee area; especially if you love caramel apples! Yummy!

Jeans, and a tee shirt, are my go-to casual look during the spring months. It is not warm enough to wear shorts, yet not cold enough to wear a sweater, or thicker top. In order to keep jeans, and a tee shirt, from looking too basic and boring, I love adding my pick Mansur Gavriel, chunky heeled booties, and statement cuff to the outfit. When it comes to casual clothing, it really is all about the accessories! Oh, and vintage inspired jeans too 😉

If you are looking for a pair of fabulous,  1970s style flares, this pair is ideal! They are well under $100, offer great vintage style, are comfortable, and offer high quality! I love a pair of jeans which can be washed several times, and still look like new!

It will be fun to start pairing these casual flares for spring with platform sandals as the weather begins to warm up. They will continue to be my go-to jeans as we move into the summer months.

What is your favorite way to dress up a casual jeans and tee shirt look during the spring season?
