If you’re not the color loving gal from the suit jacket outfit above, or just want a less formal shirt, swap the colored button down for a lace top! I love the variety of texture you get when pairing lace with a more formal blazer. It softens the look and gives you a more feminine vibe.

The cropped straight leg jeans keep the look fun and trendy while the pop of color in the shoes gives you that stylish feel. Top it off with a pearl headband and you’ll be the trendiest gal around.

11. Grey Jeans, Blazer, and Graphic Shirt
