I read a NY Times op ed the other day called “Brunch is for Jerks.” Well if brunch is wrong, I don’t want to be right. I think the point of the article was that the brunch “scene” in NYC is just a bunch of rich, white kids who get drunk on Saturday night, then clog up all the good restaurants for hours on Sunday. I think brunch is a little less jerky here in the Midwest. We just like to sleep in and then have someone make us eggs and a maybe a mimosa, please and thank you.

This past Sunday, I put in some effort to make my casual brunch outfit a little more presentable than the pajama-wearing crowd. (Again, I’m not a brunch jerk.) And I only spent 5 minutes Instagramming my food before I ate it. (I’m only human, OK?)

You know those people who can throw on a t-shirt and sneakers and still look chic? Yeah. They’re called models. But don’t worry; you can achieve the look too. It’s simple:

First, get in your time machine. Go to a time in the future where medical technology has advanced to the point that you can choose all the physical attributes of a new baby. Now take that technology, get back in your time machine, and go back to the point in time when you were conceived. (This part may be awkward, but hang in there.) Then just make sure you create a version of yourself that will grow to be 6 feet tall and 120 pounds, with perfectly symmetrical features, great bone structure, and never-frizzy hair. Congratulations – you can now wear anything you want and look amazing!

If your time machine is in the shop right now, there is one slightly less effective alternative. You’re probably not interested, but just in case…

The other option is to look for more “unique” basics, like this scalloped stripe tee and floral sneakers. That way when you casually throw on a t-shirt and sneakers, you’ll still look pretty awesome, even if you’re just doing laundry and going for a walk in the park (which is in fact what I did in this outfit).
