    36 Things To Wear When You Wanna Be Stylish But Casual

    For when you start Googling "dress made of sweatshirt material."

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

    1. Espadrille cork wedges with a subtle puffy strap design that offers an updated take on the classic look.

    Frankie4 is a woman-owned business that sells comfort-first shoes. This espadrille wedge is lightweight but has three layers of support and cushioning. 

    "I am a Frankie aficionado but I must say, this shoe has surpassed my expectations. I always love a wedge as I can’t do heels anymore but this wedge, I can actually walk in a lot. I am a teacher in a big school and need comfort for my feet and find I can stay in these all day long. The leather strap is soft across my toes and the shoe overall just feels (and looks) great. Thanks (again) Frankie.” —Frankie4 review

    Get it from Frankie4 for $198 (available in sizes 6–13 and dusty blossom). 

    2. A strapless knit top just begging to be worn with some wide legs pants. Finish with some chunky necklaces and baby? You got an outfit going.
