What I Wore | Camp Quirk

WhatIWore: We had such a fun time on our family trip into the woods last week! Here’s another outfit I wore while we were there. Adam and I went into a nearby town for breakfast and wifi (Brew in Jasper - we highly recommend!) so I put on a little lipstick with my woodsy camp side look.

When: October 19, 2017

What:
Shades: Karen Walker
Jacket: Old and updated with patches (similar silhouette here)
Flannel Pullover: J.Crew (similar here)
Jeans: J.Crew
Boots: LL Bean

Where: Lincoln State Park and breakfast at Brew in Jasper

You may remember that I wore this patch jacket last year during the same trip, but I’ve added about six new patches! Unfortunately I didn’t get sharp shots of all of them, but my favorite is the Indiana Bicentennial patch that Adam had made up last year with the help of a designer friend of ours (Ryan Irvin - he’s awesome!) I have some extras if anyone is interested for $5, shipping included. Super limited quanities! Just use this link (and make sure you enter an updated mailing address and I’ll ship them out this week!)

What I Wore | Fall Tones

WhatIWore: Good morning! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I worked my tail off on Saturday with painting the house and it’s looking pretty great! This is what I wore on Friday to take the kids to the doctor and out for donuts. If you watch my instagram stories (and you should because I’m ridiculous and also because we’ll feel more like close friends) then you know I overdyed my hair last week. These photos were taken after one wash. It’s semi permanent color and I already feel like it’s washing out too fast! Maybe I should have kept it on longer? I’ve been having my hair colored in the salon for years but I just couldn’t wait until my next appointment to get it done. At least I didn’t completely botch my ‘do! Unless maybe you count my bang trim? Win some, lose some!

And speaking of hair styles, this one plus the outfit has me feeling all of the Brooklyn vibes. And by that I mean when I lived in Brooklyn nine years ago. I told Adam and he was like… Jessica, you’re standing in front of a forrest. Whatever! You get the point, right? 

When: October 13, 2017

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Jacket: BlankNYC
Dress; Old Navy (similar)
Belt: Vintage
Booties: Rag and Bone

Where: Out with the Kiddos

The dress was a cheapie from Old Navy I bought on cleanance after having Bea when I was desperate to feel normal again. It’s a little big so I cinched it in with a vintage belt (that I used to wear all the time in my Brooklyn days!) I’m also wearing a pair of booties that were a fortune when I bought them, but I’ve worn them so many times they’ve become a really smart purchase (I call that cost per wear… and at this point they have to be around a dollar per!) To top it off is my new-this-season suede jacket that I initially bought because it had such a 70s vibe, but feels quite modern with this look (here’s another way I styled it that I really loved too)

What I Wore | The Greatest

WhatIWore: Feeling like today’s a good day to hold my babies tightly instead of talk about clothes. So that’s what I’m going to do. They are the greatest. 

When: September 30, 2017

What:
Hat: Self Made
Shades: Karen Walker
Sweater: J.Crew
Denim Jacket: Old Navy
Cords: J.Brand (old!)
On Bea: Target Onesie, Old Navy Leggings, Freshly Picked 

Where: Brunch at Cardinal Spirits

What I Wore | Old School

WhatIWore: Dang. I love this outfit. It’s the kind of thing that almost has a thrifted vibe and reminds me so much of my old school days shopping Beacon’s Closet in Brooklyn. And I say thrifted because it feels a little more creative - a little less off the mannequin that the outfits that seem to get pinned or complimented online. And I like that! 

This dress is a silhouette Old Navy puts out in different patterns over and over again (case in point - I’ve bought two other prints here and here). I like the white because it’s cute on it’s own but I also kind of like it for fall. It’s not a crisp blueish shade, but it’s not cream either. Just a good milky tone that looks pretty with black (I think it’ll look so cute with tights and a turtleneck too! 

The jacket was a splurge I bought during the Nordstrom sale and I foresee myself wearing it many ways over the next ten or twenty years! Now if it would be cool enough I could keep it on all day….

When: September 25, 2017

Dress: Old Navy (similar)
