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 | Sh*tty Kitty

WhatIWore: Yes, I’m smiling in these photos, but it’s time for a little truth telling here: I haven’t been myself much lately. Good news - I’m not alone. Bad news - why are we all so blah? The changing weather, less daily sunlight and stress of the holidays might be on your list. My hair is a rats nest and that bums me out big time. My son has also taken screaming at a pitch that literally gives me a headache. And, all jokes aside, I’m slowly weaning my son (MAAAAAJOOORRR hormone disruption) and I have seasonal affective disorder.  Even the most positive intentions can’t push away the feeling like I got up on the wrong side of the bed.

Why the over share, Jess? Well, feeling crummy can make getting dressed a little lot less fun. These pics are actually my second outfit of the day. On my first try I just felt totally crappy and not cute and told Adam it wasn’t worth it during our normal lighting test shots. I almost cried! What the F?! I know I’ll turn around, but if you find yourself in a similiar situation, you’ve got a friend in me (and a free membership to the Shitty Kitty Committee). 

When: November 19, 2015

What: 
Hat: Stars + Field (code for, I made it, selling similar soon!)
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Tee: Old Navy
Sweater: Old Navy, gift (last worn here)
Jeans: Tory Burch, gift (waaaaay old)
Booties: LL Bean Signature

This get up actually did cheer me up a smidge because a) I got to hide my hair under a hat I love b) this sweater is cozy c) these jeans are soft. 

PS. Not trying to throw a pity party, just wanting to acknowledge what’s going on in my life right now and offer a little solidarity if you’re going through it too. 

What I Wore | Buffalo Check

         

WhatIWore: When I think woodsy, I think of a red and black buffalo check. I recently bought this scarf and I think it looks cute with a matching smaller check in the button down. I also like the way this whole top half of the outfit works with the boots. It’s like casual country girl and chic city woman all mixed up. I think? Anyway, I wore this on some errands with Felix the other day and I felt the perfect mix of comfortable and cute.
