Sometimes I feel like I need new pieces in order to keep things interesting around here. I have to remind myself the best outfits aren’t complicated, and they often seem to be the ones you all like best anyway. With nothing new to build an outfit around, I did what I often do and went for my tried and true favorites in an easy neutral combo.
These black distressed skinnies have been around for a while (first seen here almost two years ago, yikes). My white cami is a layering staple that is still available (seen here and here). This duster cardi was first seen here over two years ago in a pretty identical outfit to what I am wearing today. My boots were a favorite from last season seen here. This belt has been a fun piece to add to both dresses and pants (last seen here and still available). Though my exact jeans, cardi, and boots are long gone, they are such staple pieces I was able to find very similar options I am linking below.
Russ and I are fortunate to have a friend group in a similar life stage as us, i.e. babies and toddlers. Saturday night several of us grabbed take out and met up at a friend’s house. We literally packed a cooler with a couple beers and a bottle, ha! Keeping it classy (and safe, I promise). My how things have changed. Diapers were changed and no one was embarrassed when their baby cried or spit up because five minutes later it was someone else’s turn. It was fun and refreshing. Why am I telling you this? I wore this outfit, so somehow in my head it all relates. Grin. Hope you all have the best weekend.
