What I Wore | Country Rose

WhatIWore: Lately I’ve been getting up early and heading to a coffee shop before the sun rises so I can have some focused time to work on my blog while Adam watches the kids. Trust me when I tell you that when I have a chance to roll solo, I make the most of it, including getting ready and putting on a proper outfit. This is what I wore earlier this week - a combo of two investment pieces that I’m so excited to wear this fall. You saw this Free People dress on the blog a couple weeks ago here and then I styled this suede jacket over a sundress last week here. Together they’re bringing all the fall vibes! Gimme a pumpkin spiced latte NOW!

What:

Suede Jacket: BlankNYC
Dress: Free People (on sale for small sizes here) (three colorways here)

What I Wore | Cowboy, Take Me Away

WhatIWore: I finally have my hands on this dress! Between exchanging sizes and shipping to my parent’s house, I finally had a chance to wear it over the weekend. It gives me all the prairie vibes in a good way! (I was alternatively humming Dixie Chicks and Paula Cole while wearing it) There’s so much fabric and it moves so beautifully! I’m excited to layer it with a turtleneck and moto jacket for crisper weather, but on this occasion I just used a skin toned camisole underneath (the neckline is a touch too deep for a larger chest - someone with a more minimal bust might not need anything there). It’s the kind of dress I can see myself getting in multiple colorways, so Free People, if you’re listening, can we do this one in black or navy? Pretty please??

Lipstick: MAC in Chili

What I Wore | The Great Outdoors

WhatIWore: Knowing we’ll be cuddled up much of this winter with a newborn, Adam and I are getting Felix outside and into the woods as much as possible this fall. And it’s not like twisting our arms or anything - we’re both nature lovers anyway! Over the weekend we had a nice family breakfast out and then skipped rocks on Lake Monroe and played in the leaves. Here’s what we wore:

What I Wore | Pop!

WhatIWore: I’m a little sad to admit that feeling like I have nothing to wear has been a running theme the past few weeks (months?) I’m not as inspired by clothes as I used to be, but I’m just letting the phase do it’s thing and hope it will pass. That said, a girl’s still got to get dressed, right? I had bought a new dress yesterday and thought it would be awesome and when I put it on this morning I felt Amish. Not a great look (no offense to Amish style - I thought I wanted to be Amish when I was a little girl. I’ll save that story for another time). 

Anyways… here’s another basic outfit. I was actually pleased when I finally arrived at this. And the new sunglasses give it an extra air of cool ($17 at Target) because God knows I need all the cool injections I can get these days (I feel like such a boring mom!) Nothing that a bright bag and pink wall can’t (temporarily?) fix! More outfit details below.
