What I Wore | Fall Tones
/
WhatIWore: Good morning! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I worked my tail off on Saturday with painting the house and it’s looking pretty great! This is what I wore on Friday to take the kids to the doctor and out for donuts. If you watch my instagram stories (and you should because I’m ridiculous and also because we’ll feel more like close friends) then you know I overdyed my hair last week. These photos were taken after one wash. It’s semi permanent color and I already feel like it’s washing out too fast! Maybe I should have kept it on longer? I’ve been having my hair colored in the salon for years but I just couldn’t wait until my next appointment to get it done. At least I didn’t completely botch my ‘do! Unless maybe you count my bang trim? Win some, lose some!
And speaking of hair styles, this one plus the outfit has me feeling all of the Brooklyn vibes. And by that I mean when I lived in Brooklyn nine years ago. I told Adam and he was like… Jessica, you’re standing in front of a forrest. Whatever! You get the point, right?
When: October 13, 2017
What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Jacket: BlankNYC
Dress; Old Navy (similar)
Belt: Vintage
Booties: Rag and Bone
Where: Out with the Kiddos
The dress was a cheapie from Old Navy I bought on cleanance after having Bea when I was desperate to feel normal again. It’s a little big so I cinched it in with a vintage belt (that I used to wear all the time in my Brooklyn days!) I’m also wearing a pair of booties that were a fortune when I bought them, but I’ve worn them so many times they’ve become a really smart purchase (I call that cost per wear… and at this point they have to be around a dollar per!) To top it off is my new-this-season suede jacket that I initially bought because it had such a 70s vibe, but feels quite modern with this look (here’s another way I styled it that I really loved too)
What I Wore | Old School
/
WhatIWore: Dang. I love this outfit. It’s the kind of thing that almost has a thrifted vibe and reminds me so much of my old school days shopping Beacon’s Closet in Brooklyn. And I say thrifted because it feels a little more creative - a little less off the mannequin that the outfits that seem to get pinned or complimented online. And I like that!
This dress is a silhouette Old Navy puts out in different patterns over and over again (case in point - I’ve bought two other prints here and here). I like the white because it’s cute on it’s own but I also kind of like it for fall. It’s not a crisp blueish shade, but it’s not cream either. Just a good milky tone that looks pretty with black (I think it’ll look so cute with tights and a turtleneck too!
The jacket was a splurge I bought during the Nordstrom sale and I foresee myself wearing it many ways over the next ten or twenty years! Now if it would be cool enough I could keep it on all day….

What I Wore | November Morning
/
WhatIWore: See what I did there? November Morning? Mourning?
I can’t bring myself to say much today, I’m still in a state of shock, so I’m just going to post my outfit. It feels a little like battle gear. Like I’m going to go out there and be the boldest, fiercest and best version of myself today. I won’t carry on like everything is ok or that this is normal, but I will carry on.
On Tuesday I hit my two month count down until my due date! On Wednesday, I heard her heart beat and got a great report from the doctor. I have so much to be hopeful for with my children. As I laid by Felix in bed last night, he sat up and said “Mama’s belly jumps! Baby sister down there!” and then put his cheek to my bump and said “Baby kicks Felix!” I can’t wait to see these two together and add to the enormous amount of love we have in our house.

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper Strength’
Dress: Monrow, gift of A Pea in the Pod
Jacket: MICHAEL Michael Kors
Boots: Clarks
Where: Coffee Shop
As for my outfit, I’m really loving this knit turtleneck dress (a gift from A Pea in the Pod - thanks guys!)… and I think I’ll be able to wear it in the future too (maybe not while nursing, but I love the fabric and silhouette). By embracing my ever growing body (and wearing form fitting clothes!) I’ve really helped my self esteem out over the past 7 months. It might seem counter intuitive to wear tight dresses when you’re expected, but I love the way it feels!
