What I Wore | Crisp Morning

WhatIWore: Although it’ll end up being near 80 today, we slept with our windows open and woke up to 60 degrees. I am so desperate to be done with summer clothes - so I got dressed up for fall instead! Later I’ll probably change back into sandals and ditch the jacket (although it’s pretty light weight), but for now, it just feels good to wear dark colors. 

When: August 22, 2016

What:
Shades: Prada (majorly discounted at a second hand store)
Jacket: Old Navy
Necklace: ModCloth (old)
Dress: Target
Booties: Rag + Bone

Where: Where ever the day takes us! (library, park, grocery? woo hoo)

Guess what else? I’m halfway through my pregnancy! We found out the baby’s gender last week and will reveal either this week or next! 

Four Fall Favorites

WhatIWore: I’m of the school of thought that great style doesn’t expire after one season. Case in point? These images are all from the fall of 2013 and would still look great now. In fact, I’ll likely attempt maternity versions of all of these outfits! 

One key color for Fall 2016 is olive green. I’ve been seeing it every where - from the classic army green utility jacket to dresses and chinos. I’ve even seen leather goods in this earthy shade! If you’re going to pick just one piece - go with the jacket. It’s part of my core closet and I admit, I have one (errr… three) too many. They look great with preppy, ladylike, trendy or hipster type outfits. An all around winner.

What I Wore | Olive Green Jacket

         

WhatIWore: Ever have those mornings where you’re having fun getting dressed for the first couple outfit changes and then you’re like to hell with it! I just need to get out the door! This is what that looks like on me. I kept going back and forth between jeans and tights and layering over my turtleneck and finally I ran back upstairs and threw this on. Trusty olive green jacket to the rescue!

When: February 1, 2016

What:
Shades: Karen Walker
Turtleneck: J.Crew
Jacket: Old Navy (old, similar above)
Backpack: Vera Bradley, gift
Skirt: Old Navy
Tights: We Love Colors
Booties: Rag + Bone

Where: Coffee Shop, Around the house (minus jacket + house slippers)

As my body adjusts to not breastfeeding anymore, my clothes are feeling a little snug, especially jeans! Around the house I find it’s way more comfy to live in tights and a skirt (weird, but not weird?) or pajama pants (my usual lazy time option). 

Ways to Wear | Olive Green Jacket

WhatIWore: Remember the Core Closet post I put together last fall? One of the key pieces in my closet is an olive green jacket. I’ve had a bunch of them (spring vs winter weight and a rain coat) and I’ve worn them SO many ways (scan my gallery for all them!). I put together this collage of spring time styling… the groundhog told me it’s only six weeks away! 

Below I’ve found some similar jackets. You should be able to find a cute style a good price - whatever that means for you! Talk about an amazing cost per wear!
