A SPORTY & CHIC OUTFIT FORMULA FOR THIS WEEKEND’S RUN TO THE MARKET
Here at Dress Better on the Weekend, we believe in looking good every chance you get.
That includes taking the time to put a little extra thought into your outfit choices when running everyday errands, like dropping the kids off at camp or grocery shopping.
We get it, it’s easier just to throw something, anything on and go. No one cares, right?
Well, we think you should care.
A big part of it is having easy outfit formulas at your fingertips that will make your grabbing and going less stressful and more stylish.
That’s why we’ve pulled together a simple four-piece look that will make your next run to The Market (or Plaza or Pueblo or Seaside or Food Town or Stop & Shop) effortlessly chic.
OUTFIT FORMULA: Midi (or maxi) dress with sneakers, a baseball hat, and sunnies.
WHY THIS FORMULA WORKS:
One & Done – A dress is the perfect all-in-one outfit. You don’t have to think about pairing a top and a bottom together. A dress gives you a head-to-toe look in a single garment. The featured dress from local St. Croix clothing brand F.I.Y.A.H., is midi-length and offers great stretch, lining and quality construction. So, stock up on midi or maxi dresses and take the guess work out of weekend dressing.
Sneaker Smarts – There’s nothing more comfortable to wear than sneakers when out shopping. We like them for a run to the grocery because not only are they comfortable, but they also provide protection for the feet against other shoppers' shopping carts. And while sandals and slides will always be crowd-pleasers, pairing sneakers with a dress is truly a vibe.
Cutely Covered – When getting dressed to go grocery shopping, the last thing you want to do is fire up the flat iron or battle it out with your twist out. That’s where a cute baseball or trucker hat comes in. Of course, you’ll want to groom the hair first, then throw on a hat that complements your dress.
Accessorizing with sunglasses, a crossbody bag, minimal jewelry and some lip gloss completes the look. Not to mention, this look can take you from day to night without having to ‘run back home’ to get dressed. Just swap out your sneakers for strappy, heeled sandals (they’re already in your car) and add a red lip for nighttime fun.
Try out this chic look the next time you plan your trip to The Market. You never know who’s taking style notes from the next aisle over.
