A simple tee, a tailored blazer, and black velvet pants make this outfit one of my favorites while still feeling comfy for long days at the Atlanta Gift Show! This combo is my go-to when I want to look put together without overthinking it. My blazer and pants are both from Anthropologie but are unfortunately sold out so I’ve linked a few similar styles. I paired this with simple silver jewelry, a statement belt, and these fun slip on loafers for a pop of pattern. Shop my look!
