embroidered chambray, olive jacket, flare jeans, What I Wore, Outfit Idea, Jessica Quirk

WhatIWore: This morning I asked Felix ‘What should mommy wear today?” to which he replied “Blue!” and then “Jean!” Ok then! I’ve actually wanted to wear this high waisted bell bottomed pair so I paired it with a dress (worn as a top) and an olive green jacket. Eventually I lost the jacket and traded the jeans for shorts, but this made for a nice spring morning outfit. I love that these embroidered tops and dresses are having a moment, but you could easily replicate this outfit with a tee shirt underneath instead.

Although I really dislike the idea of a capsule wardrobe (too limiting for me!) I do like a core closet, or pieces that can be worn with the majority of your other pieces. Two examples for me are great jeans and this olive jacket, like in today’s post. Here are three more ways each that I’ve worn them.

WhatIWore: I’m a little sad to admit that feeling like I have nothing to wear has been a running theme the past few weeks (months?) I’m not as inspired by clothes as I used to be, but I’m just letting the phase do it’s thing and hope it will pass. That said, a girl’s still got to get dressed, right? I had bought a new dress yesterday and thought it would be awesome and when I put it on this morning I felt Amish. Not a great look (no offense to Amish style - I thought I wanted to be Amish when I was a little girl. I’ll save that story for another time).

Anyways… here’s another basic outfit. I was actually pleased when I finally arrived at this. And the new sunglasses give it an extra air of cool ($17 at Target) because God knows I need all the cool injections I can get these days (I feel like such a boring mom!) Nothing that a bright bag and pink wall can’t (temporarily?) fix! More outfit details below.
