What I Wore | Placeholder

WhatIWore: Hello and happy Monday! After a chilly streak last week I didn’t make any effort to bring out my springy clothes and regretted that this morning! It’s forecast to be 70 degrees today! I had this jacket on my basement hanging rack so it was easy to grab and then I’m just wearing an old tee shirt and jeans. To make it feel a little less wintery, I’m baring my ankles with skinny jeans and heels (a lot like what I posted last Monday too!)

Nothing too special, but I think it’s a nice example of how you don’t need to start the season with all brand new clothes and can still look and feel fresh.

What I Wore | Windswept

WhatIWore: Yesterday was a pretty good day. It was warm enough to ditch my trench by noon and I had some promising doctor’s appointments that left me feeling a lot more optimistic (baby is fine, I’m just dealing with some issues that I hope are resolved soon!).  Outfit wise, another super simple combo - skinny jeans, a crisp white tee, classic trench and flats and a great fringed spring scarf. A great basic look for any woman, pregnant or not!

What I Wore | Citron & Stripes

WhatIWore: It's just about time for Bloomington to live up to its name. I’ve seen glimpses of daffodils popping up in sunny spots around my neighborhood and my guess is that within a week, we’ll be in full bloom. I love this time of year and I love getting dressed for spring. Easy layers, bright colors and stripes make me one happy girl.

When: April 1, 2014

What:

Necklace: Gift
Tunic Sweater: J.Crew (similar)

Where: Teaching

Can you believe this striped lightweight coat is from Target? It quickly sold out at my local store but on an early Sunday morning, I saw someone had returned one in my size! Jackpot! 

To balance the fuller silhouette I’m supporting on top, I’m balancing things out with dark super skinny jeans, which I’ve had for years. A good pair of denim goes such a long way. I always tell women it’s fine to have a pair of jeans in a size up and a size down stashed away in your closet (and I’m so glad I’ve kept this pair! Truthfully - they don’t button without the help of a rubber band, but hey - do whatchu’ve gotta do!)
