Cute Weekend Outfit | Oct. 19, 2012

We're the first ones to say "kick back and relax" come weekend time, but that certainly doesn't mean we want our off-duty style to fall by the wayside. In fact, we're looking to Liv Tyler's polished yet laid-back ensemble for a fresh round of weekend-themed outfit inspiration. Not only is her daytime look a Fall-perfect combination of casual and cool, but it's also unbelievably simple. Seriously. All you really need to follow suit are your favorite pair of jeans, a classic peacoat, and old-school Chucks on tap. We say, invest in a little texture — be it stripes, chunky knits, or tweedy fabrics — where your shirt and sweater layers are concerned. And to finish, add a black croc-skin shoulder bag into the mix, providing the look with just the slightest hint of accessory flair. If you happen to be a fan of bolder pops of color, opt for a brighter-hued bag or a printed scarf instead. As for the rest? Stick to the basics, Liv-style, and you can't go wrong.
