A Spring River Visit

Living in Pittsburgh, rivers come into play in various aspects of city life. We cross over them everyday, they and their bridges are considered when deciding on how to get where, and they also provide recreation whilst be stunning backgrounds for outfit pics!  jacket-Mikkat Market(similar here ), shirt-Old Navy(similarish here ), trousers- J.Crew Factory , sunnies-Versace(similar here ), scarf-Ralph Lauren(similar here ), belt-Gap(more options here ), ring / bracelet -Ana Luisa, bookbag-DSW(more options here ), boots--Land's End(similar here ) This spring look takes inspiration from a more autumnal preppy vibe. A button-down, cropped pant, and "blazer" has been one of my go-to outfit formulas for almost two decades.  And while it feels mostly grounded in fall looks, it actually works no matter the season if you have the right pieces.  And of course the Monongahela River in the background makes for a standout backdrop to these shots.  This of course is not the first t...

Boots of Red, Still Winter

 We had a few days of very sweet, yet allergy-inducing tastes of spring but it's still winter and the weather can be fickle. While the official start of spring equinox is on the horizon, we all know here in Pittsburgh that days can turn chilly far into May.  Here's a wintery outfit that may be pulled out a few more times before I change over my wardrobe for warmer days.  pants-J.Crew(similar here ), sweater-Nordstrom Rack(similar here ), pull-on pants-Banana Republic Factory (similar here and here ), hat- KIN Apparel , sunnies-- Diff Eyewear , boots-Nordstrom(similar here )   Some may think the whole "pop of color" styling is outdated, or even cringe. But these red boots last seen here  enliven this navy and grey outfit. The fair isle sweater speaks to the winter we are transitioning out of while the punchy boots are stepping towards (pun intended) the coming fresh spring ahead.  Also, the "Mama" bracelet was made by my oldest! 👧💗

Tone-on-Tone Leather

It's a new year, a new month, a new season, but the same coat as seen my last two posts, here and here . I'm usually pretty dormant between Christmas and the end of January as the weather can be untenable, but here lately we've had a warmish streak. So here's the first outfit of 2026! hat--??? but here's something similar from Wooly Bear Knits ,  coat--Nordstrom(similar here ), dress--Anthropologie(similar here ), turtleneck-- Cuddl Duds , loafers--Madewell(similar here ), necklace--Banana Republic(similar here ) I've worn and posted this almost exact look about two years ago here . In fact this outfit was my first posting of the new 2024 year, I guess I'm becoming predictable, but in my last post I was questioning my style mojo, so returning to a look I know works and makes feel like I'm wearing an outfit, not just clothes can be kind of grounding, a reset of sorts.
