New Baby New Shoes

Having a baby and hauling said baby to daycare everyday can really put a kink in your step, and your shoe style. Plus our daycare has a "no shoes in classroom" policy, mentioned in yesterday's post, which means I have to take off my shoes when I enter her classroom for drop off & pick up.  So the days of intricate/strappy footwear are suspended until further notice. Hence, I'm in need of supportive, stylish, and easy to slip on/off shoes for the next 5-7 years of my life! So, I've ordered a few pairs, and have my eye a few others....


It doesn't get more supportive than Dr. Scholls, amiright? I snagged these polka-dotted slip-ons from a Zulily sale, and not only am I looking forward to sporting some dots here this spring & summer, I'm also super-psyched about the tread! The rainy days of April are here and there's nothing more disheartening than damp feet from flimsy flats, can I get an "Amen"!?


These d'Orsay-style flats are going to be so chic at work this summer. I'm for sures pairing them up with the culottes I got from Everlane, as seen in this post. Plus, it'll give my other black flats a bit of a break. 

These bad boys are on my wishlist. They come in other colors, but this bold orange is giving me LIFE! Like the dotted pair above, I see these saving my feet from damp socks on rainy days.  


Of course if I wanted to get SERIOUS about dry feet I may pick up these boots, especially looking toward next fall and winter, this pair would come in super-handy. 


But I'm not really ready to think that far down the line. I want to stay in a sunshine state of mind, and what better way than robin's egg blue drivers, like these? This pretty pair makes me want to go to a resort and walk the grounds all classy and shit in khakis and a polo. Or, maybe not so much. (FYI I loathe polo shirts, for both men and women). But I can see these adding some color and sophistication to a simple shorts-and-tee ensemble! 
Of course, I can't stay away from athleisure, and why would I want to with these dope sneakers! This pair is en route to my doorstep, along with a few tops from H&M. I see these slip-ons working under a boxier silhouette with a lot of leg. What a second... I THINK I just stumbled upon my go-to look for this summer!!! Shoes really DO make the outfit, don't they!

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 ...
