What I Wore | Camp Quirk

WhatIWore: We had such a fun time on our family trip into the woods last week! Here’s another outfit I wore while we were there. Adam and I went into a nearby town for breakfast and wifi (Brew in Jasper - we highly recommend!) so I put on a little lipstick with my woodsy camp side look.

When: October 19, 2017

What:
Shades: Karen Walker
Jacket: Old and updated with patches (similar silhouette here)
Flannel Pullover: J.Crew (similar here)
Jeans: J.Crew
Boots: LL Bean

Where: Lincoln State Park and breakfast at Brew in Jasper

You may remember that I wore this patch jacket last year during the same trip, but I’ve added about six new patches! Unfortunately I didn’t get sharp shots of all of them, but my favorite is the Indiana Bicentennial patch that Adam had made up last year with the help of a designer friend of ours (Ryan Irvin - he’s awesome!) I have some extras if anyone is interested for $5, shipping included. Super limited quanities! Just use this link (and make sure you enter an updated mailing address and I’ll ship them out this week!)

What I Wore | Fine and Dandy

WhatIWore: Guys, I’m still crazy about these jeans! This is what I wore yesterday for an early morning work session and then errands around town with the kids. This is definitely on the short list for my most worn outfit combination - it’s so easy and still feels put together. The lighter chambray helps distance it from a cowboy tuxedo or whatever they’re calling denim on denim these days. I love all of these pieces because they’ll work with everything else in your closet too (see my guide to creating your core closet HERE).

When: Sept 27, 2017

What:
Shades: Karen Walker
Chambray: J.Crew (old)
Jacket: Old Navy (similar)
Jeans: Crafted by Lee
Booties: Clarks (gift from a previous partnership)

Where: Working at the Coffee Shop, ‘round town with my kiddos

If you were thinking about ordering these jeans, I still say go for it! At $24 you can’t lose! A note on sizing - I bought both the dark and light styles, both in a 4L (normal size) and the lighter wash did run smaller. These are only online, so I’d suggest getting two pair in different sizes and returning the ones to your local Target that doesn’t fit. Good luck! 

What I Wore | Palazzo Pants

WhatIWore: Good Morning! Coming ‘atcha with an internet connection and a new batch of outfit photos. For the past week I’ve been spacing showers a littttle too far and wearing the same tired jean shorts every day. Moving house with two small kids is quite the challenge. A week or so later and I’ve starting to feel more settled! I am so in love with life out here, but me time has been non existent. So yesterday morning, I got showered and hit up Target right when they opened to do a little shopping for myself, then came home, changed and had Adam do outfit photos for me! 

Unlike my unsuccessful journey to the Fashion Mall in Indy, I really did well finding things yesterday! These palazzo pants and sleeveless jacket are two of them! One of the things I’m coming to terms with is that I just like what I like - so even if that means I buy another black and white print or olive jacket - so be it. If one shouldered ruffles aren’t your thing, there’s no need to push the issue, #amirite? 

When: May 23, 2017

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Sleeveless Jacket: Target (Mossimo)
Pants: Target (Mossimo) - now on clearance online! 
Sandals: Rockport (gift from previous partnership)

Where: Errands all over town

These pants really surprised me - for a high rise elastic waistband they are really flattering. Bonus points because they’re incredibly comfortable too. And long! I wore them with flats but I could shimmy them down an inch or two at the waist and do with a short heeled sandal too. I paid full price in store, but I saw they’re on clearance online, so run run run to get yours! 

As for the jacket, it’s a great option for nursing mamas who’d like a light layer for modesty and something more than just wearing the same basic tee shirts day after day. 

What I Wore | Rinse and Repeat

WhatIWore: Does it sound like I’m a broken record around here when I say how much I like repeating outfits? Yesterday I was doing some closet cleaning and found this skirt - which I’ve been looking for forever!! It’s nothing super special - just a jersey knit tube skirt, but it’s comfy and chic and goes with so much!

Sure - I could have remixed it with something new, but I was thinking back to this outfit and decided, what the hell, let’s copy it from head to toe. Granted, the main difference is that I wore it while 6 months pregnant! I bought my normal size and it fit me then and now. 

When: May 8, 2017

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Jacket: Old Navy (similar here)
Black V Neck Tee: Old Navy
Stretchy Tube Skirt: Old Navy (in black here)
Booties: Rag + Bone

Where: Stroller Walk + Errands (I changed to sandals around 11:30)

All of these pieces are my go-to basics, and I do wear them lots of other ways. Coincidently, they’re all from the same store, but I didn’t buy any of them to wear together… it just happened that way!
