What I Wore | New Attitude

WhatIWore: Happy Monday, all! Well, first things first, let’s chat about my new ‘do! I was 100% sure I was going to say goodbye to the bright blonde, but I was still thinking of an even more dramatic change. I asked on my Instagram stories if I should do bangs and really didn’t think I’d go through with it… until I got so many suggestions pull the trigger. So I did! Ta da! 

I’m still rolling with my 70s Art Teacher vibe, but the cut also makes me feel a little indie Parisian, especially with red lipstick. With that in mind, stripes and high waisted jeans were my first outfit choice! The top is old and the jeans haven’t fit since before I had Felix!! 

Another note on the jeans - I actually cropped them and put on a new hem as well as taking in the leg below the knee for a more skinny fit (they were the Elizabeth style from imogene + willie). I’ve been wearing them non stop for the past week or so!

When: Sept 9, 2017

What:
Shades: Karen Walker
Lips: MAC in Chili
Tee: J.Crew (old)
Necklace: J.Crew 
Jeans: imogene + willie (these look pretty similar and on sale)
Jean Jacket: Old Navy (under $40!)

Where: Brunch at Cardinal Spirits

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 | Spring Stripes

WhatIWore: Well hello there! I’m back to life after three of the four of us Quirks came down with a virus in the past week. First it was pity for poor little Felix, then it hit me, and before I could really recover, it hit Adam. Baby Bea was spared thank goodness. Anyway, long story short, I had intended to get back into the OOTD game but… Life. Happens.

So after a couple days of being in total yuck mode, I really wanted to freshen up for today’s outfit post. And by fresh I mean a day old shower and some red lipstick I put on specifically for the photos (I wore the tee, scarf and jeans all day). 

When: March 29, 2017

What:
Shades: Target
Bandana: J.Crew Factory
Long Sleeve Tee: J.Crew Factory
Denim Jacket: Old Navy
Jeans: Frame Denim
Boots: LL Bean Signature

Where: Grocery and Errands with the kiddos! 

You might recognize the stripe tee which I wore recently in Florida. These days, a new tee shirt really feels special so, why not wear it again so soon? Since it’s much cooler here, I’ve styled it with a trusty denim jacket and flare jeans and added a new super soft navy bandana (it was only seven bucks!) The one and only benefit from the a bout of sickness is a pair of jeans I couldn’t shimmy into a few weeks ago. They’re still kind of tight in the middle, but I was happy to wear something I have stored away for so long! 

What I Wore | Gather

WhatIWore: Happy Monday morning, everyone! Here’s to hoping this week is off to a better start than last. I’ll be honest, I took the election results hard. I won’t get into it (at least not now…) except to say I sobbed in public on Thursday morning to my dad on the phone and on Saturday he drove six hours round trip to give me a hug. 

That morning the sun was shining, so Adam and I decided to try make it a fun day starting out with pancakes out at one of our favorite breakfast spots. This is what I wore! I also went to our big homemade Holiday market (solo!!!) and picked up some Christmas goodies for Felix and pretty prints for the walls of the nursery. I kept my outfit simple - I wear versions of this combo all the time (see here and here). It ended up being a really nice day. It was so great to get the surprise visit from my dad and spend a lot of time with my boys.

When: November 12, 2016

What: 
Hat: Self Made (sorry no pattern!)
Shades: Karen Walker
Tunic: Old Navy (from my first pregnancy)
Jacket: Old Navy (old, but other great options here)
Maternity Jeans: Jessica Simpson at Destination Maternity
Booties: LL Bean (style here, similar color here)

Where: Breakfast, Handmade Market, around!

Finally, if you look closely, you might see a safety pin on my jacket, which is simply to say - you may not look like me, date like me or pray like me - but I care about your well being and YOU.
