Anthro Dressing Room Pics

 Seems like each year for my birthday I treat myself to some dressing room self care at Anthropologie trying on random pieces, some of which are just for fun, other's for serious consideration. 


How I started...


t-shirt-Amazon, jeans-Universal Standard, sneakers-H&M



some sale items, more sweatshirts here and similar khakis here

First off, love this sweatshirt's vintage vibe, plus it's cozy, quirky, and on sale. These khakis serve as a good base, but are interesting in their "off the beaten path" silhouette. Solid casual 'fit. 



mock-neck sweater here, and skirt here

A bit of autumnal drama in this look. As the dressing room attendant said, "you'd be a fool to pass this up, the colors go great with your hair." I agree, love the green with my red. I already have a similar skirt and was going back n' forth on the sweater. Not loving the shape. 




polo sweater here, and another khaki option here

Another go-round with these khakis to try on this polo/rugby inspired sweater. You can read my thoughts on polo shirt styling here

I ended up taking home the sweatshirt and have been living in it around the house. I was on the fence with both of these sweaters, I eventually did order the polo in this color motif. The khakis and skirt were just for the purposes of outfit building in the dressing room.

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.

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...
