About the outfit:

The shirt(s): Le pairs a patterned shirt with a simple cardigan to create a fun yet simple look. By using colors that complement each other, the shirt and cardigan balance out and don’t distract from the individual items. By wearing a cardigan, she is able to turn this trendy and comfy outfit into one that meets school dress code.

The accessories: To complete this outfit, Le puts her hair up in a messy bun and wears a simple necklace. The bun reflects on her athleisure-esque style, and keeps her hair from covering her cardigan and shirt. Since she’s wearing a sleeveless shirt, wearing a necklace fills the gap. With a simple yet classic necklace, she efficiently gives the outfit a final touch.

The pants: Le balances her outfit out with a simple pair of black jeans. Not only are these a staple in anyone’s closet, but they complement the rest of the outfit and add to the “cute but comfortable” look. By rolling her jeans above the ankle, she gives the outfit a trendy and more refined touch.

The shoes: Le sports a pair of simple yet cute white low-top Converse. Much like her pants, these shoes give the outfit a trendy touch, while keeping it comfortable and cute. Because they are low-top, they go well with the rolled jeans. By wearing no-show socks, she keeps the bottom half of her outfit looking put-together, and not distracting from the rest.
