Orange Blazer and Feminism

Sometimes a good outfit can be a simple t-shirt & jeans, with boots and a blazer for a bit of polish. I also layered in a chambray shirt for some denim-on-denim action, which is a styling trick I really like for spring. Of course this t-shirt serves up a message.  "They Didn't Burn Witches They Burned Women" blazer-J.Crew(similar here ), shirt-Gap(similar here ), T-shirt- TeePublic ,  jeans- Universal Standard , bracelets- Nordstrom , ring-Mejuri(similar here ), boots-DSW(similar here ) On the surface there's nothing revolutionary about this look. Again, a fairly simple formula of jeans, tee, blazer, and boots with a layered chambray shirt. However, the bright orange and how it plays on the colors of the T-shirt, and of course the messaging makes these clothes an outfit.  I'm not going to presume that I'm changing the world by wearing a feminist T-shirt, but it's in the small ways and subtle cues is part of making a difference especially for these two...

Floral Skirts & Cowboy Boots

On this Good Friday in the year of our Lord 2025 when "dumpster fire" is an understatement I took a moment to pose under a bridge in front of some graffiti in the floral skirt/cowboy boot combo, last seen in this post .   jacket--Vintage(similar here ) turtleneck--J.Crew( here ), skirt/belt--Amazon(similar here and here ), boots-- DSW , jewelry--J.Crew Factory(similar here ), Etsy (more options  here ), Nordstrom( here ), watch--Monroe( here ), bag--Shiraleah(more options here ) I've labeled this jacket as "vintage" since I've had it since 2011 (!!!) as seen in this post  and paired it with a tone-on-tone turtle for a chilly spring day. Loving how these olive greens coordinate with the skirt. And even though this looks is similar in elements to the March post (same skirt, boots, and a different turtleneck) I think this is it's own distinctive look, being a bit harder and more utilitarian.  Stay safe out there and if you're celebrating this weekend, ...

Move Over Brat Green it's Olive & Sage Season

March is winding down and spring trends are ramping up. From last summer's outrageous Brat Green , which I never even attempted to incorporate into my style, this spring is seeing a resurgence of pastels and deeper tones. Here's my take on a monochromatic look with olive green and sage hues.  jacket--H&M(similar here ), shirt / pants --Uniqlo, sunnies--Versace(more options here ), necklace--Banana Republic(similarish here ), ring / bracelet -Ana Luisa, boots-Vince Camuto(similar here ) from Nordstrom This "matching set" from Uniqlo features the trending barrel pant silhouette, not my usual fit, but you can't argue with it when paired with the cropped adjustable button-down and a pair of statement boots. I may also style this look with combat boots for messier days. This oversized quilted jacket is almost over a decade old, but it's utilitarian vibe keeps it in style. I've worn it with a pop of pink in years past and it would work "playing against...
