Jumpsuit into Spring

Spring is here and with it so many different outfitting challenges. Pittsburgh spring is manic. One day it's sunny with a  high of 70, that evening tornado watches and lighting storms, the morning after cloudy and chilly. And of course, winds all around. But with a killer jumpsuit I'm ready to face whatever the forecast brings.  jumpsuit- Verity & Daughters , sunnies-Versace(similar here ), necklace-Banana Republic(similar here ), ring / bracelet --Ana Luisa, bag- Everlane , boots-Vince Camuto from Nordstrom(similar here and here )  God, do I love a jumpsuit, or in this case coveralls/overalls. I've featured various jumpsuit looks over the years as seen here , here , and here . I love the pockets and adjustable nature of this jumpsuit from the independent brand Verity & Daughters  and am very much digging the colorblock/patchwork aesthetic which in it's way speaks to the changeable weather of this season.  The buttons pair up beautifully with these west...

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.

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Apparel , sunnies-- Diff Eyewear , boots-Nordstrom(similar here )   Some may think the whole "pop of color" styling is outdated, or even cringe.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! 👧💗
