Turtleneck Tuesday Loungewear

For this week's #turtlenecktuesday I've layered a beige turtleneck under a matching knit lounge set and glammed it up with some jewelry.

I discovered Soel Boutique in the flesh on a trip to Utah back in the spring of 2019 (which seems like decades ago) and regretted not purchasing a jumpsuit I tried on while in the store. Since then I've been keeping an eye out on a potential purchase, and finally ordered this textured knit matching set. Does it make for the most chic or glamourous OOTD? No, but it's comfy as can be without being straight-up PJs and has layering potential as you can see with this turtleneck, plus I love mixing neutrals like beige and grey. As I'm still working from home and staying close to home in general, I decided to zhuzh up this loungewear look with some gold jewelry and makeup. I know in these times of mask-wearing it's all about the lashes and brows, for zoom meetings and outfit pics I've been trying to amp up my lip color. Here's a head shot taken at home featuring my new reading glasses and jewelry close-up.

Yes, on some days I need glasses for reading and the laptop screen. I guess once you turn 40 your eyeballs change... So yeah another #win from 2020....😖😕

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
