What I Wore | Falling Leaves

                               

WhatIWore: I had one of those mornings when I changed back and forth between a couple of outfits and finally decided to save one for cooler temps later this week and settle on this vintage dress instead. I have a thing for vintage chiffon dresses and this one is perfect for October with the pretty leaf print. As you can see from these photos, we’ve still got green leaves on the trees in town but the change is starting!

As for my outfit, I love the way the hem of the dress meets the top of my boots. Some style experts will tell you this is a no no, but I like it. Definitely something women did a lot of in the late 70s and early 80s and I think it works with the vintage dress. It’s probably a styling thing that works best on a taller gal or with a monochrome palette.

What I Wore | Dark Flares

WhatIWore: Yesterday Felix and I did a little mother son adventure by taking a road trip to the outlets to buy his fall clothes and go on a lunch date. He slept the whole way there and back (about an hour each way) and was such a fun little buddy to shop with! I think I might do a round up of what we found because it’s a) cute but b) not too cute. Know what I mean?

But speaking of cute - I felt like a hot mom babe in this outfit! I really like that it’s so simple, but with my cool hair it looks…. cooler? Yeah! It looks cool. I’m pretty happy with a basic tee and jean get up that makes me feel so good. Even your easy outfits should make you feel like you’re bringing your A game.

What I Wore | Lilac Blooms

WhatIWore: After a late night return home from Columbus on Tuesday night, I wanted to get a little extra sleep Wednesday morning and go with a comfortable outfit for my day downtown and around campus. I’ve had this black knit maxi for a few years and it’s a great go to dress all year round (see examples HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE).

When: April 30, 2014

What: 
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Cat’s Eyes’
Scarf: J.Crew
Jacket: MICHAEL Michael Kors (a bunch of options here)
Dress: Target (I also like this one)
Shoes: Sole Society (on major sale!) 

Where: Business Breakfast, Student Presentations

This white leather jacket has been, by far, my best investment this spring. I wear it all the time and pretty soon I’m going to need to figure out the best way to do some spot cleaning on it, which I guess just goes with the white jacket territory. 

Finally! Those flats! I love how they take such a simple outfit and instantly give it a little extra style.
