The Drawstring Train Keeps on Rolling

In this post I wrote about that drawstring bottoms are "saving my life" during my second trimester of pregnancy. And to keep the life support going I've made some recent purchases that I hope will see me through the next few months.



The product name is "Plush Trsouers" which I guess is a uber-cool alternative to "sweatpants" which these basically are. Ain't no shame in sweatpants in my opinion, bring 'em on!



It's a well documented fact that I love me some bright colored cropped pants(here, here, and here). I'm hoping this pair will serve as a "pregnancy" alternative to my "regular" bright pants outfitting. 


These may, or may not get returned. I'm not really excited by them, but the sale price and their potential functionality peaked my interest. 



You can't easily see the navy hue in this pic, but these bottoms are navy, AND they have a black trim at the waist, pockets and cuffs. I do enjoy a chic navy n' black color combo, and I think these will be a great go-to for September/October. I haven't yet decided on my fall styles this year, what with my wardrobe options being up in the air, but I'm thinking solid, monochromatic type looks will best serve me in the third trimester. As they day darker colors are more "slimming". 

And finally for a bit of fun!




I've been rocking flats a lot this summer, but I still love heels. And even though these are open-toed, the black n' silver color and bootie like feel will work this coming fall for any fancier occasions that may arise. I'm thinking date night!

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!    

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

Mid-Summer Sales!!!!

It's time for one of my all time favorite summer activities! No, not bbq and fireworks, but the mid-summer/4th of July sales!!! There are bargains to be had everywhere you turn and I've already scored some deals here this past week!  From Zara 's Sale: Waistband Trousers Oversized Tee From J.Crew : Linen Shorts Side-Slit Tee And a few pieces I'm thinking of from ModCloth : ModCloth T-Shirt Dress Chambray Tunic True, these pieces are a bit "basic" but I'm thinking of the 80/20 Wardrobe Plan . 80% of your closet serves as foundation/workhorse pieces with 20% consisting of statement, more fanciful items. Like this "coatigan" from Nasty Gal Wool Coatigan Just think how this coat/cardi hybrid will pop against the t-shirt dress above, and/or the grey pants and either t-shirt, for a solid 80/20 outfit!  Regardless of how you approach your mid-season shopping the point is to get up on the
