Elements of Lauren’s Outfit

1. Sweater + Cardigan + Scarf

Lauren wears a casual cream sweater with an olive cardigan with a black geometric print. She pairs them with a cream and black scarf.

This cream sweater by American Rag is great for layering because it’s not too thick to put under another piece. The green and black diamond-patterned cardigan adds a subtle color and pattern, but keeps Lauren’s look cozy and casual. 

2. Distressed Jeans

Lauren's light-wash, high waisted distressed denim jeans are held up by a thick brown belt with a gold buckle.

Denim is the right choice to go with this outfit. Lauren chose to wear her staple Levi’s. Lauren is a true DIY-er; she distressed them herself!

3. Black Buckled Booties

This student wears black chunky-heeled booties with straps and silver buckles.

These black heeled booties give a bit of edge to Lauren’s otherwise bohemian outfit. The suede and strappy buckles toughen up the glam silhouette of these everyday shoes.

4. Black & White Scarf + Jewelry

Lauren wears tiny, delicate silver rings, one with a turquoise stone, to compliment her casual look.

Lauren’s black and white striped scarf from American Eagle puts the finishing touch on this outfit. Her mixed metal rings give a polished look to her whole ensemble.
