Outfit of Many Parts

This outfit was built around a literal foundation garment--a bodysuit. From there it was a matter of picking pieces that spoke to each other to bring together a look. Unlike, my last post that had a very clear style point of you view, this outfit has a more eclectic aesthetic. 

















blazer/bodysuit-Gap(similar options here and here), skirt-Universal Standard, sunnies-DIFF Eyewear, scarf-Ralph Lauren(similar here), belt-Amazon, boots-Nordstrom(similar here)


Forgive my hunched appearance, I always remember to stand up straight when it's too late. The seeds of this look, which did come together a bit waywardly, were planted from this Who What Wear article.  It featured both bodysuits and silk split skirts as "must haves" for spring, but didn't necessarily style them in the same look. Pairing them together on my own, I then reached for this belt, boots, and blazer. The scarf came almost as an afterthought for a bit of coverage. The scoop neckline of this bodysuit exposed just a bit too much skin for me on a chilly day. This silk designer scarf, unlike a woolier one, matches the skirt fabric and breaks up all of the darker shades with its strip of purple. 

Is it me, or is this look giving off Diane Keaton vibes.. The woman does love a wide belt with a skirt and blazer, amiright? I just need a hat....

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...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway  for the wedding in July.  Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless.  Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental. You're welcome!

Gift Guide Part 3--Literature

So far I've covered beauty products and socks in this year's round of gift guides, which are prefect gift categories for the coming winter. To add to that list--reading! Here are a few books from my Books Worth Reading Pinterest board, first up--poetry! James Allen Hall's "I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well" from the CSU Poetry Center I LOVED Hall's 1st book   Now You're the Enemy , which won awards from the Texas Institute of Letters, the Lambda Literary Foundation, and the Fellowship of Southern Writers. So this is on my personal wish list to read here during the snowy days to come.  Anthology from Mason Jar Press "The Black Ladies Brunch Collective’s Poetry Anthology,  Not Without Our Laughter ,  is a collection of humorous and joyful poems, riffing on Langston Hughes’s novel  Not Without Laughter . It explores topics of family, work, love and sexuality. The women of BLBC believe, like Hughes, that even in these ...
