What I Wore | October Tweed

WhatIWore: These photos really capture October to me. Not the warm, bright blue skies contrasting the red and orange leaves, but the gloomy and damp days that tell us winter is getting closer. I’ve been inspired lately by all of the English woolen tweeds I’ve seen in magazines and glad I bought this one in my normal size last year when I was pregnant with Bea (worn here and here). Today I layered it over a vest and pale chambray top and flared dark denim. Very Annie Hall in a way - especially with the hat! 

When: October 11, 2017

What:
Hat: Self Made (similar
Sunglasses: LOFT
Blazer: J.Crew (kinda similar)
Chambray: J.Crew
Vest: Lands’ End Canvas
Jeans: Frame

PS. Buh bye blonde! I dyed my hair dark this morning! And I love it! Will post to Instagram!

What I Wore | Popping Tags

WhatIWore: Here’s what I wore over the weekend to hit up the Goodwill 50% sale and the farmer’s market with my family. I’ve had a little pep in my step lately and have been a lot more inspired to put on an outfit, rather than just throwing on whatever (like a tee shirt and jean shorts). I’ve been going through my clothing in storage and found this top, which was the beginning of this whole outfit. it’s actually almost exactly like this one, the difference being my new boots instead of sandals. 

And by new, I mean the pair I picked up for $6 the other day on a thrifting trip. Ahhh! Can you believe it? They’re real leather, fit great and are going to look perfect with my seventies themed fall wardrobe. I even started spiffing them up this weekend and I love the results. 

When: August 5, 2017

What:
Shades:Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Necklace: Global Gifts (a little store here in town)
Blouse: ModCloth (from last spring)
Jeans: Frame Denim
Boots: Thrifted

Where: Farmer’s Market and Thrift Shopping

What I Wore | Spring Stripes

WhatIWore: Well hello there! I’m back to life after three of the four of us Quirks came down with a virus in the past week. First it was pity for poor little Felix, then it hit me, and before I could really recover, it hit Adam. Baby Bea was spared thank goodness. Anyway, long story short, I had intended to get back into the OOTD game but… Life. Happens.

So after a couple days of being in total yuck mode, I really wanted to freshen up for today’s outfit post. And by fresh I mean a day old shower and some red lipstick I put on specifically for the photos (I wore the tee, scarf and jeans all day). 

When: March 29, 2017

What:
Shades: Target
Bandana: J.Crew Factory
Long Sleeve Tee: J.Crew Factory
Denim Jacket: Old Navy
Jeans: Frame Denim
Boots: LL Bean Signature

Where: Grocery and Errands with the kiddos! 

You might recognize the stripe tee which I wore recently in Florida. These days, a new tee shirt really feels special so, why not wear it again so soon? Since it’s much cooler here, I’ve styled it with a trusty denim jacket and flare jeans and added a new super soft navy bandana (it was only seven bucks!) The one and only benefit from the a bout of sickness is a pair of jeans I couldn’t shimmy into a few weeks ago. They’re still kind of tight in the middle, but I was happy to wear something I have stored away for so long! 

What I Wore | Like a Cloud

WhatIWore: One of the big benefits to documenting my daily outfit for the past 9.5+ years is easy access to hundreds of ideas on days when I’m not sure what to wear. This outfit is a good example! I had forgotten about the combo, but saw it pop up on Pinterest recently! In fact, I actually wore it a year ago yesterday. Luckily the tops work with the baby bump and I’ve just switched out to maternity jeans. Equally lucky - this poncho style sweater is still in stock!! 

When: October 26, 2016

What:
Shades: Karen Walker
Turtleneck: J.Crew
Poncho Sweater: ModCloth
Jeans: AG, a gift of A Pea in the Pod (regular sizes here)
Boots: Frye (older style)
