What I Wore | Patched Jacket

WhatIWore: Hey guys! Check it out! I’ve figured out a way to finally display my small collection of patches. Earlier this week I showed you my inspiration board of ideas and now here it is!

I chose my two favorite patches for the front of the jacket but sewed most of them to the back. I spaced them out into different groupings, because I hope I’ll add many many more in the years to come! Instead of ironing them on, I’ve hand sewed them to allow for adjustments in the future. I still have quiet a few to go… but my poor little fingers were just too sore to keep sewing. For now, I love the way it looks! 

The rest of my outfit is on the cozy/neutral - very similar to this outfit from a few weeks back! 

When: October 18, 2016

What:
Jacket: Old - patches from my collection!
Sweater: Destination Maternity
Jeans: Jeans: AG ‘Stilt’, (non maternity here)

What I Wore | Buffalo Plaid

WhatIWore: Nothing says outdoorsy to me more than a plaid flannel shirt (or anything plaid for that matter!) I borrowed this button down from Adam and layered it over a long sleeve black tee and black jeans. I’ve worn men’s button downs many times in the past and have been asked what the difference is between them and women’s styles. In short - they button on opposite sides and women’s versions usually have darts tailored around the curve of the body. Since I’m doing a more casual style outfit (and spending the day mainly outside!) I like the looser look of the men’s style. See also: baby bump! I’m in my third trimester! I cannot believe it! 

When:

What:
Hat: Self Made 
Shades: Karen Walker
Long Sleeved Tee: Target
Jeans: AG legging (one size down), gift of A Pea in the Pod
Boots: LL Bean

Where: Enjoying the GREAT outdoors

What I Wore | Woodsy

             

WhatIWore: Here’s something I wore over the weekend with my boys. We didn’t actually go to the woods at all - just an early morning breakfast at the Village Deli! I’ve never had a puffy vest before, but it’s so cozy! I layered it over a flannel plaid shirt, which always makes me think of my husband because he’s such a teenager of the 90s and loves plaid shirts. It’s pretty much the only thing he wears. I say this all of the time, but as much as I love my funky vintage dresses and high heeled boots I also really love casual outfits like this. Luckily, life let’s us do both!
