You all know I’ve been obsessed with the athleisure trend since our favorite celebs first made the look popular, from wearing sneakers with dresses to pairing work-out coordinates with tailored coats and jackets.  One of my favorite ways to wear the trend is mixing athleisure with dressy pieces – to create a laid back vibe  without risking being underdressed for a dinner or night out in the city.

So, for drinks with the girls earlier this week, I gave a classic black and white outfit a little update.  To create the look, I wore my favorite pair of black satin striped joggers from Zara with a white button front relaxed fit blouse with tie waist detail (a wardrobe staple – wear it to the beach as a coverup with a pair of cutoff denim shorts, to the office with a tailored skirt or trousers or to anywhere with a pair of jeans).  To give the look a little edge, I threw on a black leather motorcycle jacket and beaded tassel earrings (that I found at the cutest little boutique in The Haight).  Finally, to take the look from casual to evening, I wore black suede single strap heels.
