Recent Buys & Thoughts on Holiday Outfitting

Last week I purchased the following garments:


I'm not entirely sold on these cords. I also have my eye on a pair from L.L. Bean, these may get returned. 


Regardless of which pair of red cords I end up keeping I'm loving the idea of wearing them with this teal sweater, I'm thinking "Hello Family Christmas Eve Outfit!"

I had my eye on this dress for a while and when it went on sale I snatched it up quick. I see this for work, for dinners out, for girls' night, and is a contender for the office holiday party in December.  


And this lacy shirt will add some nice texture and intrigue to more casual all-black outfits this coming winter. I REALLY like how they styled this in the pick w/ the collared shirt and statement necklace. I also see this working over a chambray shirt OR a striped long-sleeved tee.

Overall, I've decided to lean toward black n' white ensembles for dressier holiday occasions, and then go all comfy texture for more casual affairs. OR, Mr. Keller and  I may just spend the entire season in these panda costumes.


Yep, that's right we're dressing up as Pandas for Halloween and these costumes are so freakin' comfortable, like PJs. If this coming winter is anything like last year's then I may just legit hibernate in this thing.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
