Outfitting with Art

 Here in Pittsburgh we are very lucky to have the Andy Warhol Museum as part of the Carnegie Museum system. And I'm very lucky to be able to have a membership in that museum group for me and my family. The other week, my husband and I had a day-date to check out a special exhibit at the Warhol on Pgh's North Shore. I, of course had to outfit in a Warholian theme.  blazer/skirt-J.Crew(similar here and here ), tee-Kansas City Kitty(more tees here ), necklace / bracelet / ring -Ana Luisa, tote-???, sneakers-Zara(more options here ) Posed in front of "Cows" across the street from the museum where they've expanded into an outdoor public space. From the colors, to the graphic floral pattern, the heart graphic tee, and the watermelon tote, this outfit totally speaks to the venue and the aesthetic. I posed in front of Flowers and Camo painting inside posted on my Instagram .  We checked out this current exhibit Good Business looking at Warhol's screenprints. It wa...

Thrifting Trip

 I love a good thrift store, who doesn't, and last month I treated myself to a trip to Thriftique with a goal of checking out men's button-downs and jeans and to try on whatever else caught my eye. Here's how I started: Leather Jacket-- Nordstrom , Tunic- WildFang , Leggings- Zara , Sneakers- Vans Men's button-down and jeans. I was looking for men's jeans for a more authentic kind of boyfriend look.  short-sleeve men's button-down with the same jeans A third men's button-down and these women's tie dye shorts. I think the look on my face says that I was enjoying this combo.  Anthropologie Dress, yes it had pockets, but wasn't really feeling it very much at all.  I saw a similar dress out in the wild after my trip, and while I enjoy the color and pattern (it didn't have pockets) I wasn't feeling this as my summer vibe. I was trying to like this dress, thinking I could wear it for work, or maybe even style it down (with the leather jacket from ...

White Denim Jacket Part 2

 Here again we have a white denim jacket for spring from some outfit pics taken a few weeks ago. You may recall last week's post featuring the same jacket here .  In this look I went with a more romantic and bohemian styling.  jacket- J.Crew , jumpsuit--Thrifted from Fashion Fix , blouse-Banana Republic(similar here ), necklace s/ bracelets /rings-Nordstrom (other), Mejuri earrings / belt -Amazon, watch- Monroe , bag- Samara , boots- DSW I love the contrast of rustic pieces like the jacket and cowboy boots with the floral oversized jumpsuit and gold jewelry. This belt is part of a set I got at Amazon, which I realize is a retailer that needs to be held accountable for it's practices and CEO. I've re-purchased better versions of this belt from Bella Belt  (the instagram adds got me)and I no longer plan on sporting the Amazon belts or promoting them in anyway.  It's a fine line to walk when thinking about the power of your purchase. Do I agree with the actions of...
