The Drawstring Train Keeps on Rolling

In this post I wrote about that drawstring bottoms are "saving my life" during my second trimester of pregnancy. And to keep the life support going I've made some recent purchases that I hope will see me through the next few months.



The product name is "Plush Trsouers" which I guess is a uber-cool alternative to "sweatpants" which these basically are. Ain't no shame in sweatpants in my opinion, bring 'em on!



It's a well documented fact that I love me some bright colored cropped pants(here, here, and here). I'm hoping this pair will serve as a "pregnancy" alternative to my "regular" bright pants outfitting. 


These may, or may not get returned. I'm not really excited by them, but the sale price and their potential functionality peaked my interest. 



You can't easily see the navy hue in this pic, but these bottoms are navy, AND they have a black trim at the waist, pockets and cuffs. I do enjoy a chic navy n' black color combo, and I think these will be a great go-to for September/October. I haven't yet decided on my fall styles this year, what with my wardrobe options being up in the air, but I'm thinking solid, monochromatic type looks will best serve me in the third trimester. As they day darker colors are more "slimming". 

And finally for a bit of fun!




I've been rocking flats a lot this summer, but I still love heels. And even though these are open-toed, the black n' silver color and bootie like feel will work this coming fall for any fancier occasions that may arise. I'm thinking date night!

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...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway  for the wedding in July.  Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless.  Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental.

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!
