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!

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). 

What I Wore | The Sound of Music

         

WhatIWore: We did something so great this weekend - we went to a sing-a-long viewing of The Sound of Music. I remember  watching it on tv around Christmas time when I was a little girl and it’s one of those movies I’ve pretty much memorized word for word. Saturday was my first time seeing it on the big screen and what a difference! I had chills and teared up so many times! It was also Felix’s first time in a movie theatre and he did great, but we only stayed for the first hour and a half.

I wanted to look Christmasy but it was nearly 70s degrees out! I opted for something that slightly references a 1950s winter look - the small fair isle sweater, full skirt and booties. I think it’s because of all of the old school holiday movies, but I always want to dress in vintage or retro styles during this time of year.

Sweater: J.Crew Factory
Purse: kate spade new york, gift

Where: Seeing the Sound of Music at the IU Cinema

What I Wore | Berry Blues

WhatIWore: Ahhhh! Finally a sunny morning! I decided to make the most of it by doing a skirt instead of the jeans I’ve been wearing a lot of lately. Now that I’m only working out of the home three days a week I don’t dress up as much and that’s a shame! 

Ever since I got these berry colored booties I’ve wanted to pair them with (almost) matching tights. The colors aren’t exactly the same, but I think it’s close enough. I topped it off with one of my favorite hand knit hats (pattern available here) and went simple in the middle. This is the kind of outfit that makes me feel really confident and cool. I wish I could say I have the best self esteem without whatever I’m wearing, but it really does give me the extra push some days. Do what you gotta do, right?

When: December 3, 2015

What:
Hat: Self Made (knitting pattern available here!)
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Lipstick: Tom Ford ‘Black Dahila’
Turtleneck: J.Crew Factory
Moto Jacket: MICHAEL Michael Kors, older style
Backpack: Vera Bradley, gift
Skirt: Old Navy

Heads Up! I work with Rockport as a brand ambassador and this post is part of our partnership. I’ve picked these styles myself and whole heartedly vouch for their comfort! See more ways I’ve worn Rockport shoes here.
