Outfits Not Just Clothes

dress/ blazer -Uniqlo(similar here ), necklace-Bauble Bar(similar here ), boots-Forever 21(similar here ), tights- Target You may recall this same dress and necklace combo from this post earlier this past summer. Now, several more months pregnant it still fits (!!!) and is super chic for fall. In yesterday's post I mentioned how navy is a color that works no matter the season, and this outfit proves it!   Also, I'm loving the nautical nod this striped blazer is bringing to this monotone look. Oh, and on a functional note, these tights are NOT maternity (even though I do have a link for a navy maternity pair above), but are instead a "sized-up" pair that I bought on the fly when I realized I didn't have navy tights that fit comfortably. A stylish lady cannot live on black maternity tights alone, and it's no easy feat trying to find other colors in store. So, if you're expecting and are in need of tights go online to

Truth be told, I would have never considered a patchwork cape as an outfitting option to buy outright. But, to borrow via a clothing subscription, it's a great piece to play around with and not have to fear buyer's remorse, or feel the need to keep wearing it (to justify the purchase) if it doesn't necessarily mesh with one's overall personal aesthetic.  Speaking of personal aesthetic I'm loving the color palette in this outfit. Teal, navy, with some magenta equals a cool-toned take on autumnal hues. I'm huge fan of navy in general and even though I'm sporting a fall fashion

I mean the overall loose fit, suit-esque silhouette and drapey tunic top is Golden Girls 2015, amiright? Of course, I am. Check it: This pic is from an amazing tumblr I recently discovered all about Golden Girls wardrobe! The Golden Girls Fashion .  And while I wasn't consciously channeling GG style at the inception of this look, I soon realized the happy fashion accident that had occurred once I checked myself in the full-length mirror. Also, I'm loving the color pairings of navy, black, cobalt blue, grey, & white that are going on. And this tunic from my first maternity tote from Le Tote added just the right amount of print to this overall neutral look.    Also, I featured these loafers in this po

blazer-Banana Republic(similar here ), pants- Gap , tee-Zara(similar here ), scarf-BCBGeneration(more scarves here ), flats- J.Crew Factory , necklace- Le Tote , bracelet-Vintage This outfit is VERY similar to this post . Again, I've taken a standard outfitting concept and created a variation of it, while also making it more seasonally appropriate with a tweed, as opposed to a linen blazer as in the first go-round. What I really dig about this version of this look, is the subtle color play of black, beige, and olive green. Not the most eye-popping tones for sure, but neutrals paired up well will come off as chic, as opposed to drab. God save me from drab! Also, even though this is a basic black tee and trousers, the accessories help to make this an outfit, not just clothes.  Also, also, this necklace was in my maternity tote from Le Tote , which goes to show that accessories are even more essential during pregnancy, as they bring in various s
