What I Wore | Denim and Blues

WhatIWore: Do you ever go in phases where you’re really into one color? Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about navy blue and last weekend I ordered this Lands End cable knit sweater to add to my collection. I love the way it pairs with denim and brown boots and I think it might work with some of my printed skirts too. And layered under a navy peacoat come winter? Perfect! 

This morning was an ideal start to a fall day. Sunny and chilly! Here’s what I Wore to have breakfast with a friend and brainstorm some fun work ideas. I love how this is a mix of cozy and slightly fashion forward at the same time. Maybe because these pieces are recent additions to my closet? As much as I love remixing older clothes, there’s something kind of fun and special about a new head to toe look.

What I Wore | Fifty Five

WhatIWore: You know when you look at the forecast in the spring and the temp is going to be around 55 and you bust out the sandals? And then when summer is coming to an end with the same temperature you just wanna put on some socks and booties? That’s how I felt this morning when I saw it was cool out. It just feels so good to wear boots again! 

After posting my denim inspiration board earlier this week, I’m sure some of you guessed that I’d add one to my closet. I actually wore this outfit to the playground (not intentionally…we made some last minute plans so I just went with it!) but it ended up being just fine! Now Felix is really on the move and was climbing up tunnels and down the slides and in a split second I’m like oh shit! and climbing right behind him. This kid really amazes me. I keep thinking this is the best phase! and then, he does something even more awesome and adorable and the love and pride I have for my son just explodes! Being a mom really suits me!

Inspired By | Denim Skirts

WhatIWore: With my 70s fashion kick in full swing, I’ve been really inspired by denim skirts - specifically button front A-line or pencil cut versions. Depending on where in the world you live, you’ve either seen a lot of this trend or really hope it never catches hold. Jean skirts can go really wrong (search them on Pinterest and you’ll see what I mean) but they can also look really fresh and chic. I like them best with tops tucked in (even halfway) to a higher rise and without sneakers.  I’ll take my styling cues from the images above - stripes, chambray and neutral tops.
