What I Wore | Bohemian

WhatIWore: Yesterday morning I was all set to go for the day in my joggers and a tee shirt, and then I scanned through my Instagram and voila! Got some inspiration and decided a real outfit would be fun. Not to say this look is groundbreaking - but it is more pulled together and stylish than glorified work out gear. 

I don’t know what to call this top layer. It’s not a traditional kimono, but it has the feeling of a boudoir piece. I think it feels very bohemian and I love how it ups the ante on mom jeans and a white V neck tee. It’s also one-size-fits-all, so it’s a nice not to worry about a new purchase depending on baby weight. 

When: May 10, 2017

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Printed Kimono inspired piece: Anthropologie
Tee: American Apparel
Necklace: Madewell (similar here)
Jeans: Point Sur for J.Crew (from last spring - more here)
Sandals: Clarks (from two years ago)

Where: Goodwill! Errands! Lunch! 

LOL. Someone just pointed out that I forgot to take the tags off this piece! I didn’t even notice until now! That’s what you get when you only have 5 minutes to yourself in the morning and then edit your photos late at night after all of the kids are finally asleep. Rest assured, I’m not the kind of blogger that wears clothes for outfit photos and then returns them. I think y'all know that by now. ;)

What I Wore | The Little Things

WhatIWore: Confession: There’s no occasion too small to get dressed up. At least, that’s my logic when it comes to our weekly farmer’s market. I use it as a chance to play with some sort of outfit that’s casual, floral or earthy and wear it throughout the day each Saturday.

Truthfully though, sometimes I do sneak out in yoga pants, but I always feel so much better when I take 20-30 minutes to do my hair and makeup and pick out an outfit that makes me feel good about myself. 

When: April 26, 2014

What:
Hat: Self Made (more summer styles here)
Dress: Target (styled differently here)
Kimono: Nordstrom Rack
Bag: Coach (more options here)
Flats: Toms

Where: Farmer’s Market, Little 500 Bike Race, Picnic at the Park

Today’s post was inspired by festival style. I’ve actually never been to a music festival (huge crowds! anxiety! ugh!), but I do like playing with laid back, bohemian style looks (especially now that I’m pregnant! I love the Earth goddess kind of vibe!)

I took one of my very basic knit maternity dresses and styled it with a self made straw hat, chambray flat sandals and a new kimono style top I bought at the Nordstrom Rack in Chicago. I think it could also be really cute with a basic tank and some jean shorts this summer too. No matter how inexpensive, I always like to envision the multiple ways I can wear a piece before I buy it. This is what being a shopping genius means to me! 

Speaking of the Rack, tonight I’ll be attending a new store Private Shopping Event in Columbus, OH (the store officially opens on May 1st) To celebrate, I’m doing a real time instagram giveaway for TWO, $100 gift cards. To put this into perspective, on my last trip I bought not only this kimono top (under $20) but a marked down DvF dress for $48 which would still leave around $30 for something else on your wish list! 

Follow me on Instagram tonight (April 29th, 4-7pm EST) for details on how you can win!  In the meantime, I’d love to see your boho/festival style on instagram! Tag @NordstromRack and me in your comments plus #shopgenius for your chance to get featured (and followed!) by their 30K+ fans!) 

Heads up! As always, I’ve purchased everything featured in this post, which is a collaboration with Nordstrom Rack. Show how you’re a #shopgenius on instagram, by using the tag to feature your best buys from the Rack. Thank you for supporting the brands that make What I Wore possible.
