Knitwear Saving Sartorial Lives





It's subtle, but the boho necklace compliments the Southwestern-inspired print of the scarf. It's not a "true" match, but more so a similar aesthetic in each piece playing off each other. WHILST playing against the "nautical" stripes.






blazer-Uniqlo(more blazers here), tee/drawstring pants/necklace-J.Crew(similar necklace here), heels-Isabel Toledo for Payless, scarf-Le Tote

 Knitwear is saving my life so far this third trimester. This blazer from Uniqlo is comfy, buttons(!!!), and has my all time favorite pattern--stripes! More stripes in these heels, which are great transitional shoes. Yes, they are open-toed, but they cover a big portion of the foot and have a sturdy heel making them perfect for these in-between seasons.

 These pants are an interesting hybrid. Yes, they are in a casual, drawstring silhouette, but are constructed of wool and have a bit more structure than you average sweatpant. Plus, the navy color gives them a dressier/office-appro vibe. So yeah, I wore "sweatpants" to work, so what? I'm carrying a human up in this piece and I'm still bringing the fierce. That was the comment I had ready to go in case our HR lady got up in my business.

But, overall this is a fresh, functional, easy outfit that's serving me well for my life right now.

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 ...
