How to Change Up Your Casual Look for Errands

No-nonsense clothes are what it’s all about on casual days when we are out running about town doing errands, taking care of family, shopping or all sorts of other things we need to do.  On these days, comfort is the first priority in choosing what to wear.  Age doesn’t matter.  We’ll be out in the weather, whether cold or hot, and we’ll be on our feet a lot.  So shoes that are made for walking, an athleisure look and comfortable tops and bottoms made to move are the order of the day.

With all that in mind, I have some outfit ideas that might help you add a little variety to your usual casual style.  These outfit ideas can be handy, too, when you’re running out the door on a busy day and feel like you don’t have a thing to wear.  You don’t even have to think, you can just refer to this list.  🙂
