Easter Outfit






Okay, I'm still trying to figure out how best to style this new cut, announced here. It's a work in progress...

 As a little kids my mom would always have "new" Easter outfits for me and my brother. By "new" I mean often times they were hand-me-downs from older cousins, or found in thrift stores, which was really smart of her. Why spend a lot of money on matching sailor suits we'd only wear a few times, right?  Regardless of the provenance of our Easter clothes, the important point, is that it was a reason to dress up.  

 Not that I need a reason, now as an adult to dress up, it's still nice to have one! So, above is what I wore yesterday for Easter Mass. This dress was an epic deal. If you follow me on instagram you may have seen that I picked up this frock for a mere $8.97!!!! Yes, that is a FACT! Check it out here! I wasn't in the market for a new dress, but when the savings are that insane and the dress in question is super cute, flattering, and versatile then you have to go for it. I can see this number becoming a go-to piece this season, especially for the office. And I'm thinking slate blue, grey, white, and black may end up being my signature color palette for Spring 2015. It feels fresh, yet subtle, and I already have pieces in my wardrobe to make a go of it!

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a
