Hearts on Hearts on Hearts

💕💖 Hello! It's been a very busy and quite active summer since my last post back in June!  We've been road-tripping, Picklesburghing, trekking kiddos to camps, and enjoying our city and shopping local. Here's a recent running-around-on-errands outfit.  jacket-J.Crew Factory(more cropped version here ), T-shirt-Kansas City Kitty(more options here ), pants-Boden(similar here ), sneakers-H&M(similar here ) Necklace/Bracelet-- Slide Jewels Box Subscription Speaking of shopping small, this T-shirt featured previously here and here  was not so local, but still small at a boutique in Fort Collins, CO when I was visiting last year.  You can get this heart graphic in sticker form still.  And speaking of 💕I've paired up this tee with a heart pendant and heart bracelet.  This pants weren't the best for summer, but I couldn't resist the pink as a bottom for the tee. Basically the T-shirt dictated the rest of the outfit.  Oh, and I can tell it's been a whil...

Jumpsuit into Summer

Summer is here and it's full steam ahead with trips, cookouts, camps, fireworks, and outfits! I wore this floral jumpsuit for both a casual weekend outing and a day working in-office to bring a bit of flowerful flair to the standard 9-to-5 of it all. jumpsuit-Boden(more options here ), sunnies- Diff Eyewear , necklace-J.Crew(similar here via Poshmark ), bag-ModCloth(similar here ), flats- All Birds I realize I also jumpsuited into spring in this recent post . What's not recent are all of these pieces. The "newest" item of this outfit are the flats, which were a pandemic 2020 purchase and worn in this post . The necklace I found proof of from a 2014 post (!!!) during the big statement necklace craze of the 20 teens era. The bag I had in the days when I freelanced with ModCloth before my kids were born, so yeah lots of classic pieces. The jumpsuit I've had in my closet for a few years and just recently started wearing it out and about.  So, yeah, jump into summer ...

A Sort of Matching Set

I love a matching set for warmer days. Don't get me wrong, a cozy loungewear set is great for curling up when it's cold out, but for being out and about in spring and summer, having a go to top and bottom to just throw on makes outfitting so much easier. I've featured various sets here , here , and here . On this day in May I took a slightly different approach.  sweater / shorts --Quince, tee-Kansas City Kitty(similar here ), sneakers-H&M(similar here ) While this sweater and pair of shorts aren't EXACT matches, the fact that they are from the same brand in the same-ish tone makes them easy pieces to match up. I featured this tee-shirt last June, here . It's a bit more cropped then I normally go for in tees, but these elastic waisted bottoms make for an easy wearing and I love how the graphic is framed when the sweater is worn over the shoulders. This makes for a handy AC trick here this spring and summer. Use the sweater as an "accessory" then pop it ...

The Return of DVF

 I've had this classic Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress since 2009! I originally  posted it was in 2014  here !  Now 12 years, a masters degree, and two kids later it's still going strong! trench-Gap(similar here ), dress-Diane von Furstenberg(similar here ), pants-Uniqlo(similar here ), necklace-Banana Republic(similar here ), bracelet / ring -Ana Luisa, bralette- Three Bird Nest , boots-Vince Camuto (similar here via DSW) And apparently I also had this trench back then because I wore it with this dress in the original post! I was 33 in the above pick and wearing heels! Now at 45 I'm still rocking this wrap, but in a more eclectic take with the layering over pants and bralette. Who wore it better? 33-year-old me or 45-year-old me?
