What I Wore | Spring Blues

WhatIWore: Wouldn’t it be amazing if the calendar flipped to spring and all of a sudden the weather followed suit? Thankfully we don’t have snow like the East Coast, but it’s been pretty hum drum rainy and cold here. I’d love to break out my spring dresses and skirts but I know there will be plenty of time in the coming months.

On the bright side, I haven’t been able to wear these jeans in over a year and I’m so excited to have them on! Flares seems to be a style that never goes completely out but aren’t the it style right now either. I like them because I think they’re super flattering and I’ve had this particular pair in my closet for years.

When: March 24, 2015

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Scarf: Target (last season)
Mint Sweater: J.Crew
White Moto Jacket: MICHAEL Michael Kors (similar)
Jeans: Earnest Sewn (older style)
Booties: L.L. Bean Signature
Bag: Lancel

Where: Breakfast with my boys, errands

Why: Outfit wise, I kept thinking back to these photos and decided to do the same mint and white pairing on top. I added in a spring scarf to pull it all together, although I wish I would have had a little more time this morning to think about accessories. C’est la vie of a mom, i guess.

What I Wore | Lucky

WhatIWore: Here’s what I wore a couple of days ago on St. Patrick’s Day. No green for me, but Felix was decked out and the perfect little accessory. The title for this post works equally well for the calendar date and the real inspiration behind this outfit - old school issues of Lucky magazine. Doesn’t this look like something that could have been in one of those classic issues? It feels weird to call a 5 year old magazine classic, but back when the original founders were still involved, the styling had kind of a weirdly cute odd ball feel. The stylists put together outfits that you wouldn’t think could work, but looked interesting and new. To me it was less about trying to track down an actual item and more how I could look into my closet and put together something similar. So this outfit is an ode to those good old days. 

When: March 17, 2015

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Q Scrabble Necklace: Heist Jewelry
White Moto Jacket: MICHAEL Michael Kors (similar)
Dress: Vintage
Bag: Lancel
Booties: L.L. Bean Signature

Where: Out and About

These photos might look a little different to you - we took them in the afternoon as opposed to our normal morning routine. And truth be told, I put this on to go to the grocery. I was so stir crazy and I knew Felix needed to get out of the house that I decided to put myself together and go out! I’m glad I did because later that night I was hit with the nastiest food poisoning in years and spent all of Wednesday in bed. Now I’ve got cabin fever again but not really in the mood to go out on a cloudy chilly day. We’ll have to find some other way to keep busy I guess! Anyway, to me, it doesn’t really matter where you’re going, if you feel like putting on a dress and doing your makeup because it makes you feel better - just do it!
