What I Wore | Country Rose

WhatIWore: Lately I’ve been getting up early and heading to a coffee shop before the sun rises so I can have some focused time to work on my blog while Adam watches the kids. Trust me when I tell you that when I have a chance to roll solo, I make the most of it, including getting ready and putting on a proper outfit. This is what I wore earlier this week - a combo of two investment pieces that I’m so excited to wear this fall. You saw this Free People dress on the blog a couple weeks ago here and then I styled this suede jacket over a sundress last week here. Together they’re bringing all the fall vibes! Gimme a pumpkin spiced latte NOW!

What I Wore | Mini Me

WhatIWore: One of my favorite parts of getting dressed are the many ways to combine each piece in my closet to make new looks. Example - this aqua and cream sweater looked really cute tucked in with high waisted jeans here, but I love how it layers over my suede mini skirt too. And speaking of that skirt - here’s how it looked with a different sweater a few weeks ago.

What I Wore | The Other Little Black Dress

WhatIWore: I’m on a roll this week with repeating outfits! I’m really eager to start busting out my fall pieces (including stuff in storage, new things and sewing projects!) and the end of the season is always a little boring for me. Also my closet is such a wreck right now I can barely get in there and find anything. Messy closets = I have nothing to wear. Oh well. 

I’m glad I reached for this printed vintage little black dress again. It’s so easy to throw on, so easy for nursing and it has a little something special about it. I’ve also been really into this belt lately… something I normally wouldn’t get fixed on, but I like it! Not a lot of people think of brown and black working together, but this combo is one of my favorites.

Where: Adventures with the fam

We had such a great day on Saturday. Adam let me sleep in (hallelujah!) and then we all went to the farmer’s market for breakfast. It was such a gorgeous day we decided to pack a picnic and go down to Spring Mill State Park, which is one of my favorites. It has a little historical village with re-enactors doing weaving, gardening and leatherworking and I totally geek out about stuff like that. Everytime we go I think “I wanna be a re-enactor too!!” mainly because I’d love to make myself an 1830s dress and corset. I love playing dress up and I love olden times! 

What I Wore | Sunday Stripes

WhatIWore: Heres’s what I wore the other day out to lunch with my little family. It was one of those days when it was kinda sorta warm in the sun when the wind died down. Otherwise it was pretty chilly. We were hoping to have more time in the fresh air but a little is better than nothing!
