I’ve worn various combinations of this easy spring outfit several times now. This striped top has quickly become a favorite. Do you remember when I first posted it styled for work here? I love it paired with jeans just as much, and since it is easily machine washable it is safe to wear around dear Ivy Jean. Grin. I’ve worn it with and without this hat (similar) and also paired it with my flatform espadrilles. This top comes in several…
I just love plaid. It usually seems like more of a fall/winter fabric, but the lighter colors make this plaid peplum top perfect for spring. I just love the flowy easy fit. If you caught my Instagram story, it is the one I shared there. It’s currently an extra 40% off making it less than $30! I love how it pairs with white jeans and my favorite flatform espadrilles, but it looks just as great with regular denim too. My…
Today I am sharing a guide to easy mom style. One of the things you all mentioned in the survey, is more everyday mom style type posts. I have also gotten a few questions about mom wardrobe essentials. I definitely find myself dressing differently for different occasions: work, rare occasions without Ivy not at work, date nights with Russ, and then mom time with Ivy. The later has become the main way I spend my time, and I have found…
Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We celebrated my grandfather’s 90th birthday on Saturday which was so much fun. I wore this white cold shoulder blouse on Friday to get my hair done (hallelujah!) and run some errands. I took the opportunity to wear a fun, non-kid friendly piece when I had a few Ivy free hours. It’s pretty funny, I have gotten strategic about when I wear these types of things as there are relatively…
How cute is this bow cardigan?! I mean, come on. It’s the one I shared during the Shopbop sale last week and ordered myself. We took these pictures on Friday (fighting the wind the whole time), and I planned to wear this exact outfit on Saturday. After seeing the photos, I ended up wearing different jeans. I just decided I wanted a more boyfriend style to balance out the bows on top a little more. I really have learned a…
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…
Is anyone else super picky about your cardigans? I swear, they are either too chunky and not flattering, have weird collars, or are too short. I’m always on the hunt for the right one. I stumbled on this one in Gap when I was shopping with my mom. If you are keeping a tally, that means I bought the boyfriend jeans seen here, the knotted sweatshirt seen here, this cardigan, and a dress yet to come. I know, I scored!…
I’m obsessed with this knotted grey sweatshirt! I picked it up at the same time I snagged the boyfriend jeans I shared last week. It is the perfect addition to the casual wardrobe I am building for mom life. I have already worn it several times. I paired it with my favorite black jeans (under $30!) and studded boots. Sorry if you are getting tired of seeing these pieces, but the reality is I wear them all the time! Hope you…
Slimming drape front jacket you can throw on over everything – who doesn’t want that? I actually ordered this jacket at the end of my pregnancy because it flattered the bump, and I knew I could wear it after too. Win! I have another similar style (seen here and here) that I wear a lot, so I knew I would love it. The shape and fit of a drape front jacket really does flatter any body shape and camouflage any…
Ruffles for spring? Groundbreaking. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. In all seriousness, ruffles are a big trend for the spring. You are seeing them on tops everywhere, and I could not resist this sweater. I loved the white detailing. It is actually already on sale at Topshop (I bought it from Nordstrom). The material isn’t too heavy which will make it perfect for early spring. The weather in Oklahoma has been so nice lately. We’ve had some days in he 60s…
