WhatIWore: Minus the bright mint dress I wore last weekend, and a few vintage pieces here and there, I’ve been in a neutral mood with my spring closet. But neutral doesn’t have to be boring! I picked up this simple sleeveless black button down at Target over the weekend. It’s one of those silhouette that feels very retro to me - so I styled it with a circle skirt! Accessory wise, I went with brown - a combination I’ve done quite a bit in the past! Overall, I just love this kind of outfit.  In a way, it represents who I used to be and who I’m becoming. I’m not sure I can explain it much more than that, but I’ve definitely felt a shift in personal style, career ambitions and how those interact with motherhood. I just feel different than I did two or three or ten years ago and I can see it reflected in how I dress. All good changes if you ask me!
