I’ve always been a person who likes to dress up which fit well with my life pre-baby. My workwear afforded me the opportunity to exercise myΒ penchant for all things skirts and heels. Since having Ivy, my life looks remarkably different which I am totally okay with. It does mean my dressy clothes aren’t really appropriate on a daily basis. Don’t get me wrong, I still wear them any chance I get and plan to when I go back to work…
What to wear when you don’t know what to wear? I think this question is something all of us face from time to time. You know the feeling: standing in your closet staring at your clothes in frustration. As I mentioned in last week’s post, I have been shopping my closet more in this post-baby season of life. I did it during pregnancy too as it was a time when I had a more limited wardrobe. I’ve found myself pondering…
This neutral jeans and sweater outfit was easy to put together and perfect for a quick coffee date with Russ. I wore it when his parents were here and graciously offered to watch Ivy while we snuck out for a bit. I’m breastfeeding, so it’s hard to be gone long. It was fun to have a few minutes just the two of us though. I’m pretty sure we just talked about Ivy most of the time, ha. These boots have…
Print mixing always makes for a fun outfit in my opinion. I selected this skirt and top planning on wearing them together. On a whim, I added my leopard coat. I loved how the outfit turned out. This embroidered floral striped oxford top is such a cool piece and will be fun to style with denim too. My leopard coat is probably my oldest item of clothing. I’ve had it like 8 years. No joke. I found several similar ones…
Lately I haven’t felt much like shopping which isn’t like me at all. I am not sure I ever thought that sentence would be typed on this here blog. I think it’s a combination of my changing post-baby body and not getting out of the house much right now. Whatever the reason, I am realizing more than ever the importance of building your wardrobe with classic pieces. I haven’t found myself bored or lacking things to wear even without new…
You guys I am wearing a skirt! I missed them so much while I was pregnant. You know I am a dresses and skirts kind of girl, so it feels nice to be able to wear them again (in non-stretchy form). This embroidered skirt and lace top made for the perfect combination. I loved the colors and overall vibe. The lace top is so fun, and I look forward to styling it in other ways too. I’ve been really into…
I already confessed I am totally guilty of over-wearing my leather leggings. Sorry!Β They are just so comfy and easy! If this outfit looks familiar, it’s because I shared this sweaterΒ (seriously the perfect tunic sweater!) with these leggings last week styled a little differently. It’s amazing what swapping up just a few things will do to create a whole different outfit. I wore this leather and faux fur combo to dinner with friends one evening. I love the draping of this…
I’m excited to be talking about how to make an outfit your own with Banana Republic today. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with Banana Republic a couple times in the past. One of the fun parts about this collaboration is that they send me two items of their choosing. This is unlike most of my other partnerships where I pick the items. It always gives me an opportunity to get outside of my normal and really make an outfit…
Black, white, and tan/camel is without a doubt my favorite color combo. Something about it is simultaneously chic, simple, and interesting. I wore this the other day when I got out of the house to run a couple errands. With the leather leggings and flat boots I was seriously comfy and also edgy and stylish. I have really been over-wearing these leather leggings lately. Sorry! This coat is a favorite from last year because it just instantly makes any outfit…
Happy Monday everyone! How are you all? This is an easy casual outfit idea which fits perfectly with life lately. A great pair of distressed jeans, a striped tee, blush cardi (I’m obsessed), and my current favorite booties (on sale!) made me feel put together without trying. A hat hid my extra dirty hair. Just keeping it real here. I thought I’d share a little life update. I haven’t gotten to do that much since we brought sweet Ivy home.…
