Comfortable-but-not-boring is a box I (try to) check on a daily outfitting basis. A simple blouse and jeans for comfort, but a bold blue and green color block, shiny pendant necklace, and bright blue suede pumps (on sale by way) elevate the look and keep it interesting. The bones of the outfit remain simple and easy to wear, but the style payoff is present. Win-win!
This blouse is totally from last year’s Phillip Lim for Target collection, but I’ve sourced a few similar versions below in case you don’t have something like this in your closet. A good color block goes a long way!
Shop the look:
This is my first round of breaking in these Isaac Mizrahi pumps. I am in love, y’all. The footbed is super padded and the heel is manageable; give me these in about every color.
I absolutely adore this look!! It’s indeed comfortable, like you said, but then at the same time, it looks so so chic!! I seriously wantttt and neeed this top!!! Hahaha!! <3
Gorgeous! I know some people don’t prefer recycling older clothing but I’m a huge fan of it. And this sweater is just way too cute to not wear! FashionEdible
Comfortable-but-not-boring is also a near-daily mental checkbox of mine 😉 You pulled it off perfectly here and I LOVE this sweater! I remember it from the collection and loved it, so I like that you brought it out and styled it in a fresh way.
what a cute top! The green and navy color block is really fresh. A statement necklace is a great way to move from comfortable to comfortable and not boring.
You really have got the “comfortable but not boring” look down, as you said. This look is a beautiful combination that you’ve styled perfectly. I am having a moment with that necklace- it’s fantastic!

It’s so funny because I don’t think of color block as being a staple but when I am thinking about the clothes in my closet I treat color block like a staple. So, clearly we are on the same page. It’s just an easy go to so we don’t have to check that box as you said up top. Great Post. xo, Amanda
I remember seeing that top in stores – you styled it perfectly! I love how you paired it with your gorgeous navy pumps (:
