Currently Craving

Yes, technically I'm in the midst of another Year of Not Shopping, but a girl can browse can't she...



I've been seeing so many chic, patterned midi-dresses out and about. This faux-wrap version from Target sports a V-neck which is my go-to neckline, and the polka dots have a gold sheen, which gives it a bit of subtle glamour. 

Speaking of patterned midi-dresses, here's a floral number from Zara that caught my eye. The print feels 30's vintage to me, probably because of the pink undertones in the flowers. This is also a shirtdress so you can create a V-neck up top, and a slight on the bottom if that's your preference.  



A good, flat brown ankle boot can't be beat! I like this slip-on silhouette in particular, as Mommy doesn't have time for laces and zippers. 


And now for a few aspirational pieces!

Ganni available at Need Supply

A plaid trench coat, YAS please! Of course, this would be great for fall and early winter, but I can also seeing it work for spring as well. I'm a fan of plaid for 3 out of 4 seasons, and I'm willing to hear arguments for summer plaids! Oh wait... I'm already an advocate for warm-weather plaids as seen in this post from June!





This jacket is REVERSIBLE, done give me five! Also, loving the zippers and ribbed cuffs, and obive this will fit right into my androgynous chic wheelhouse. 


Speaking of androgyny...

Hello workman-inspired jumpsuit! Jumpsuits and rompers have been popular for years now, but I still can't seem to find one that best serves me. Either they are too tight, or too baggy. Don't get me wrong I can make them WERK. But, the whole point of a onepiece is ease and comfort. With too many bells and whistles the whole look becomes tacky. This piece feels like it would be easy and flattering. 




And speaking of chic! I'm not a huge fan of fur in general, but a navy faux-fur stole would be a luscious guilty pleasure for my neck and shoulders. And a very ladylike addition to my accessories game. 

Of course, these are all pipe dreams. I'm going strong in my retail hiatus, but can't help imagine the outfits that could have been with these pieces... if only... 💗😏

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 ...
