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 | Press Pause

WhatIWore: Ok guys, this is going to be a lot less about the outfit shown here and a lot more about where I’m at in my head these days as it relates to clothes. I’m in a rut. A slump. A state of blah blah blah. The heat has killed my inspiration and I’m just not feeling getting dressed up that much right now! I think a closet change over this weekend might spark some ideas. And the hard thing right now is that I need to be honest with myself about what really works for being a mom and is that something worth blogging. Many days, it’s not. (continued…)

In the meantime, I’m on the fence about whether to throw in the (temporary) towel or keep blogging the outfits that get no comments or pins or likes. I don’t want that to sound like a pity party or call for any of the above, but it’s the truth of the blogging world. Stay new or say goodbye. It’s kinda nice to know there are average people out there (what I think I’m aiming at), but that’s not aspirational and that doesn’t really get anyone talking.  I’m ok with that… I think. I’m actually not sure. So I’m going to temporarily press pause, regroup and see how I feel about fall and where I want to take What I Wore.
