Le Tote Tuesday

 
This is my superhero pose. The skirt blowing in the wind is kind of like a cape. But I don't think I'd go the cape route if I were a superhero, it would just get in the way when I'd be kicking a**.

This outfit is rocking all sorts of pieces from my recent shipment from Le Tote. I featured signing up for the service here.  I'm really feeling the graphic pattern of this dress, but not so much the silhouette. It has an elastic waist which I've hidden under the belt. A lot of dresses out there have these types of waistbands and an overall looser/flowy cut. I have to say I'm not a huge fan, these types of dresses usually don't suit me. The dress here is not as flattering as a more fitted/tailored dress would be on my frame.  But the belt helps as do the heels to lengthen and lean the silhouette.

On another note...Sometimes the articles in a Le Tote package coordinate seamlessly and other times they are wildly different in terms of style and color. I don't know if this is a good thing or not. I mean, it's good in that each tote arrival is a surprise but it can also be inconsistent. 

Anyway, the dress I'm wearing here is one featured on their website. You can see how it looks more flattering on the model. But, Lord knows they probably pinned the sh*t out of it and did a good amount of re-touching, of course. I need to get photoshop.

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!   ...

Rent the Runway Wedding Vote

I may be on vacation at the moment, but I'm thinking of the future, in particular the wedding I'm attending back home next month. A ton of high school friends will be there. Some I am dying to hang out with, while others I'm hoping to make a bit jelly... Regardless, an outfit is required. I mentioned the idea of wearing a summer suit in this post . But now I'm feeling more of killer-blow-them-away dress.   I'm also thinking I may have to call in the big guns and utilize the services of Rent the Runway .  1.   Elie Tahari   Love the pattern here. The user reviews & pics lead me to believe this will be quite flattering on my body type.     2.   Kate Spade   This is so groovy and I love the use of a statement necklace in this look. But, I'm wondering if I'm not attracted to the overall styling of the picture for the website or if I really like the dress on its on.     3.  Milly ...
