I’m always looking for easy outfit ideas. Whether it’s a look for a trip, the office, a day out on a weekend, or a first date, I am always saving ideas for outfits to wear that are simple, affordable, and easy to create with clothes I already have in my closet. To me, a great outfit is something that is comfortable and stylish and has some personality. While on my weekly search for outfits to re-create, I came across five looks that I thought were so simple yet elevated and—the best part—affordable. While dressing for winter, the cold weather can sometimes encourage us to just layer up and stop putting effort into our looks. But not to worry. Like I said, these outfits are effortless and take less than five minutes to put together. Trust me—you’ll be thanking me sooner or later.
