What I Wore | Back to Basic

WhatIWore: After this week of Halloween and vampy lips, here’s a basic B everyday look! I made this faux shearling jacket last year when I was pregnant and I’ve been playing around with ways to wear it this season. It’s pretty cropped and needs a longer layer underneath, otherwise it feels a little too top heavy. 

Honestly guys, I’m just feeling a little brain dead lately and can’t think of anything else to write. Hope you have a beautiful weekend! My folks are arriving today and we have lots of house projects to work on and celebrating for my mom’s birthday!!

When: Last Thursday

What:
Shades: Karen Walker
Sweater: Lands End (similar)
Jacket: Self Made (longer option)
Jeans: Crafted by Lee (online only - and $23!)
Boots: UGG (similar here)

Where: Coffeeshop

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:
Shades: Karen Walker
Suede Jacket: BlankNYC
Dress: Free People (on sale for small sizes here) (three colorways here)
Boots: Frye (older style)

Where: Work session, errands with the kids!

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

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Wishlist

Every July, when it’s hot as hell outside, I start to thinking about my fall wardrobe. Some of my best pieces (and bargains) have come from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Case in point - my over the knee boots (this season’s update here), Frye Bag and brown leather boots were all sale purchases. Some things are 50% off or more which is kind of amazing for a before the season sale. I’ve been eyeing a new pair of jeans and maybe some short booties. There are some leather pieces I really love too, but I need to decide if that’s really practical for this stage in my life (which is a whole other can of worms I’ve been pondering lately).  Right now it’s early access (meaning you have to have a Nordstrom card to shop) but for the rest of us commoners, the general sale starts this Thursday. It’s also no pressure because Nordstrom is great about returns. Click on any image for more details!

Also! I made a Pinterest board of all of my fall ideas (some on sale, some from other sites) that I’m going to keep updating as I plan my budget! I’m also getting some great ideas for DIY projects and sewing!
