THE CASUAL EDIT.
I mentioned in this post that I was going to do a “three ways to style” the off shoulder top and I decided to start with a casual look, pairing it with my black denim pants and lucy daves sandals.
My style is most often “casual” and dressed down, but I like to infuse a bit of me to give it some soul and make it not come off as boring regardless.
I think there’s something about taking an otherwise basic outfit but putting the pieces together so well, that it comes off as stylish. That’s one quality that draws me to people I consider as a style crush. The effortless, uncomplicated way they just make everything work.
I was going to pair this with heels but I think that might defeat the whole purpose of it being a casual look. I like how the sandals adds a little extra something to the look, and I tried to spice it all up further by making a play on layers with my neck chain.
What do you think of this look?
How would you style an off shoulder top for a casual look?

I wore this to the food art exhibition at Re.Le (I did a review of the place here) this past weekend. If you follow me on instagram (@cassiedaves), you might already know this. I didn’t take pictures to do a weekend bits post though, but I’ll just say how impressed I was with the food art. People are so creative these days, it’s really refreshing to see. I also stopped by at stranger Lagos for another exhibition and had a nice time meeting some people I follow on instagram.
I hope you’re having a great week so far?
Please leave me your thoughts and comments on the look and let’s connect!
Love, love, love this look! And the all the colors in this post.

I love it! This is almost a perfect way to style an off shoulder casual look… Now you're going to make me need a top like this
This post fulfils the 'simple yet super stylish' thing. The off shoulder top gives it this colour pop. I'm really digging these Lucy Daves Sandals. I found out on her page these pair are unisex. Definitely on my budget for next month. Hopefully, she'd have for my large feet.
Cass Cass! give them!!! You slayed this one. Love Love the lips!

Hey Cassie! Like I mentioned before I am a huge fan of off shoulder trend and loving the way you have styled it in this post. I would style it with a pair of shorts and some gladiator sandals for a festival look. Stay blessed and keep slaying.x

Nice way you're rocking the off shoulder top, makes it look like the sleeve isn't attached to the top at all, like it was separately worn… Is it??? *couldn't help but ask, can't come and be acting like I know😊*
I love the colour combo and choker… Plus, the silver necklace complements the choker, reducing the distance of skin from your face to the top, (if you know what I mean), it sort of brings everything together… And the heels would've made the look be a stressful casual, but trust me, the sandals are just perfect, makes it a stress-free… *getting inspired by the look*👏👏👏

The top looks hand made, is it? Love the sandals as well!
I don't know if it is but I guess all clothes are hand made finally. Except you mean sewed totally without a machine?
Anyways, I mentioned where the top is from also in the post.
Stunning!. Beautiful images!
