What I Wore | Neutral Tones

           

WhatIWore: To contrast yesterday post with my bright blue coat and the Pepto pink background, today I’m toning things waaaaay down with neutrals.  I love the sophistication of relatively monotone looks - especially with earthy camels, beiges and cognacs. It feels easy and effortless, which worked for me this morning because I spent the bulk of my time doing my makeup! More on that later this week, but for now I’ll say I’m so into my new brows! It’s amazing what a little makeover can do!

What I Wore | Away Message

WhatIWore: Ok, this is random, but yesterday I was walking towards campus (I camped out at the Starbucks across from the law school that morning) and I was thinking about my own college experience. For example, people memorized dorm phone numbers freshman year because hardly anyone had cell phones. Facebook didn’t come out until my junior year! And because social media hadn’t really been fully realized like it is today, the one place you could share your favorite song lyrics in italicized purple fonts was the away message. Who’s with me? Anyone?! 

This outfit is an updated copy of something from years ago. I had to put this dress away when I was frequently nursing, but now it’s great for a morning out. I love that a vintage piece like this can still look super modern… likely because today’s designers copy vintage all the time! 

When: October 6, 2015

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’ in crazy tort
Dress: Vintage, similar in black here)
Jacket: Old Navy (similar here)
Belt: thrifted
Boots: Ugg Austrailia

Where: Coffee Shop work session

I also have to talk about these boots… they are SO comfortable. There was no “wearing in” phase and the toe has the soft sherling lining you’d find in traditional UGG boots. They’re really great, guys!
