What I Wore | Lost + Found

WhatIWore: I FOUND MY FAVORITE JEANS! These were missing since our initial move three months ago and I’ve been hoping they’d turn up! I’m so glad they did. I bought these a couple years ago from J.Crew (and Madewell has a kind of similar style) and I repeated an outfit from this spring. 

I’ve also decided I’m going to take another stab at tightening up the thigh of the pair I just made. I ordered some really beautiful cone denim online for a second pair and if I tweak my current version just a little bit I think they’ll be perfect. Also considering doing a skinny leg vs. another flare (they are a medium wash denim). Any thoughts?

What I Wore | Dark Flares

WhatIWore: Yesterday Felix and I did a little mother son adventure by taking a road trip to the outlets to buy his fall clothes and go on a lunch date. He slept the whole way there and back (about an hour each way) and was such a fun little buddy to shop with! I think I might do a round up of what we found because it’s a) cute but b) not too cute. Know what I mean?

But speaking of cute - I felt like a hot mom babe in this outfit! I really like that it’s so simple, but with my cool hair it looks…. cooler? Yeah! It looks cool. I’m pretty happy with a basic tee and jean get up that makes me feel so good. Even your easy outfits should make you feel like you’re bringing your A game.

What I Wore | Blue Bells

WhatIWore: Happy Monday all! Getting a little bit of a late start today after spending all of yesterday on the lake! Swimming in the sun can really wear ya out! I’ve since changed as the humidity has kicked up, but I couldn’t help wearing a new pair of jeans this morning to run a few errands. I actually recently bought two pair of high rise flares and this is the darker of the two. They’re a really stretchy blend, so not at all uncomfortable like some higher waisted pants can sometimes feel. And hello 70s inspired fringe bag!!

See Also: How I wore this blouse with a more 1950s inspired outfit a few weeks ago in the rain. 

I’d say this kind of outfit is a good representation of how you can incorporate those 1970s touches without being too costumey. The flares aren’t too big and the newer top keeps the whole look pretty modern. That said you probably will see me in full seventies regalia more than a few times in the upcoming months. I love it when I get really into something like this. It makes getting dressed really fun, rather than a chore, which honestly happens to everyone once and a while. 

I love the way these jeans look on! I love the flares! I love the high rise! What do you love about your outfit today?

What I Wore | Mom Jeans

WhatIWore: Many years ago, someone commented on this blog that I looked like a soccer mom, meant to be an insult. At the time, I was in my mid twenties and was like shrug, if I look this good by the time I have kids that are old enough to play soccer, I guess that’s a win? It’s weird, but I am so much more self confident now than I ever was in my twenties. I feel hot! And my body is not nearly in the same kind of shape it was when I was 25. Does wisdom come with age? I dunno! 

Anyway, one thing I’ve really embraced as I’ve gotten older..

Are mom jeans. Bring ‘em up high, ladies and if you wanna throw in a smidge of stretch, I’ll love you forever. Bonus points for no muffin top or shimmy to get low riders back up where they belong. I’m not throwing out any lower rise pieces, but I definitely gravitate towards the higher rise pieces in my closet.

When: June 28, 2015

What:
Hat: Handmade by Me!
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’ in Black
Tee: GAP (ten years old, similar everywhere)
Jeans: J.Brand (very similar)
Sandals: Rockport (gift)

See Also: Another way I’ve worn this hat and these jeans recently. 

This is what I wore on Sunday morning. Adam was driving back to town, so I took Felix out for a waffle (errr… I had a waffle and Felix watched me eat it) and then once Adam was back we went to lunch as a family. Afterwards, we hit up a vintage sidewalk sale and snapped these pics on our way back to the car. 

Last photo, Felix was like… gimme dat boobie.
