insouciantly

In carefree manner

Insouciantly means in a carefree, unconcerned manner—with a breezy indifference to consequences or expectations.

The word suggests someone unbothered by what might worry others: She insouciantly tossed her resignation letter on the desk and walked out.

It carries a hint of stylish nonchalance, sometimes admirable, sometimes irritating.
