What I Wore | Repeat

WhatIWore: One of the things that’s important to me on the blog is to share the kinds of things I really wear on any given day. I’ve hinted at some of my frustrations lately and one of them is the unending cycle of buy buy buy that seems to been required to keep up a fashion blog. And I’m not slamming shopping. I like shopping! But I do not like the idea of disposable clothing or only wearing something once. I wear my clothes often, especially if I really like something. I hope you feel like you can repeat (and repeat and repeat) the pieces in your closet that make you feel good, regardless if they’re this season or ten seasons old. 

Take this dress for example! I bought it (with the matching jacket!) last fall and I’ve worn both pieces quite a bit. It layers nicely with a jacket or tights, but is a cute sundress with flat sandals and a hat too! Click below to see the other ways I’ve styled it!

When: June(ish?)

What:
Hat: Self Made:
Shades: Karen Walker
Dress: Banana Republic
Sandals: Birkenstocks

Where: Out and About with Felix

See Also: Worn with a pink jacket and sandals, an olive jacket and boots and layered with tights, all from last fall. 

What I Wore | Never Basic

WhatIWore: I’ve really embraced more tee shirt and jeans (or skirt!) outfits versus dresses since Felix was born. Around this time last year, I wrote about what I call ‘playground tees’ - easy options for a cute casual outfit (see examples here, here & here). I also appreciate that tee shirts aren’t a not a big investment but can spark a little inspiration for your wardrobe. Although I have lots of stripe tees, what’s another one? They’re what I like to wear! 

I really like this outfit! In the past I might have worn it with nude heels, but I love the ease and walkability of Birkenstocks. Plus you could easily swap out the skirt for a pair of cropped jeans for another cute outfit idea. 

When: May 4, 2016

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Necklace: Self Made (just a charm on an old chain - similar here)
Striped V-Neck Tee: Old Navy, via giftcard
Jacket: Old Navy (from a few seasons ago)
Belt: Thrifted
Skirt: ModCloth (similar here)
Sandals: Birkenstock

Where: Donut date with Felix

Old Navy (today’s post sponsor!) is having a huge sale on their tees (which they’ve recently updated in fabrics (like linen blends!) and silhouettes (fitted, relaxed and boyfriend styles). I went with the relaxed style, which isn’t too big and isn’t too tight. I’m wearing a small here for reference! Create your own #neverbasic look with tees that are 50% off online (until May 10th or buy one, get one free in store until May 10th).

Heads Up! Today’s post has been sponsored by my long time partners, Old Navy. Thanks for supporting the brands that make What I Wore possible!
