What I Wore | Lost + Found

WhatIWore: I FOUND MY FAVORITE JEANS! These were missing since our initial move three months ago and I’ve been hoping they’d turn up! I’m so glad they did. I bought these a couple years ago from J.Crew (and Madewell has a kind of similar style) and I repeated an outfit from this spring. 

I’ve also decided I’m going to take another stab at tightening up the thigh of the pair I just made. I ordered some really beautiful cone denim online for a second pair and if I tweak my current version just a little bit I think they’ll be perfect. Also considering doing a skinny leg vs. another flare (they are a medium wash denim). Any thoughts?

What I Wore | Bohemian

WhatIWore: Yesterday morning I was all set to go for the day in my joggers and a tee shirt, and then I scanned through my Instagram and voila! Got some inspiration and decided a real outfit would be fun. Not to say this look is groundbreaking - but it is more pulled together and stylish than glorified work out gear. 

I don’t know what to call this top layer. It’s not a traditional kimono, but it has the feeling of a boudoir piece. I think it feels very bohemian and I love how it ups the ante on mom jeans and a white V neck tee. It’s also one-size-fits-all, so it’s a nice not to worry about a new purchase depending on baby weight. 

When: May 10, 2017

What:

Printed Kimono inspired piece: Anthropologie

Where: Goodwill! Errands! Lunch! 

LOL. Someone just pointed out that I forgot to take the tags off this piece! I didn’t even notice until now! That’s what you get when you only have 5 minutes to yourself in the morning and then edit your photos late at night after all of the kids are finally asleep. Rest assured, I’m not the kind of blogger that wears clothes for outfit photos and then returns them. I think y'all know that by now. ;)

What I Wore | Jump Jump

WhatIWore: I knew when I bought this suitsuit it would be the perfect thing to throw on for running around. It’s been a little cooler lately, so I styled it with booties and a leather jacket. I also pulled the waistband up to my natural waist and sort of tucked the top underneath it. See how I wore it last time here.

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Northern Lights’
White Leather Moto: MICHAEL Michael Kors

What I Wore | Hi Lo

WhatIWore: Today is off to a fantastic start! I’ve been waking with the sun (around 6:45) these days and slowly starting my morning with the news and a light breakfast. I had planned today’s outfit last night before bed so getting ready was a breeze and we had extra time to find a good spot for outfit photos before starting off our days.  I had my first doctor ordered massage and although it was short, it was heavenly. Then, as if that weren’t good enough, I treated myself to some mid week donuts. 

When: May 7, 2014

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Northern Lights’
Necklace: Noonday
Dress: Target
Belt: J.Crew (similar style)
Denim Jacket: Anthropologie (similar)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff ’M.A.B. Mini Satchel’
Sandals: Target

Where: Appointments, Studio, Lunch

I’m also in a new outfit, which always makes me feel great. The focus of this whole thing has to be my new Rebecca Minkoff satchel, which I scored for a great bargain at the downtown Chicago Nordstrom Rack. I was sort of “saving” it (not sure why!) and I’m glad I brought it out today. This dress is of the non-maternity variety and I found it at Target. I’ve picked up so many good knits there lately, and I know this dress will be perfect for the hot summer ahead.  I was never totally into or against the high/low skirt trend, but now that it’s happening naturally to all of my evenly hemmed skirts, I’m going to really embrace it.
