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!

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 ...
