Currently Craving... Jumpsuits!

Summer is finally here! And with it comes my need for easy thrown-on pieces that don't ask too much, yet are still flattering and chic. I've long flirted with jumpsuits, some past posts here, here, and here, but have yet to find the quintessential piece to fulfill all of my summer dreams! Here are some contenders. 


Unfortunately, this is sold out, but I do like the slate blue color, that fact that it's cropped, and of course pockets! 


Here's an overalls option, again pockets are key, and this could be a fun to layer with flirty tanks throughout the summer months. THEN, come fall I see some flannel under this onepiece. 


A very casual option with this jersey number. Of course, side-boob isn't really my bag, so layering is key here as well.  



For me, summer garments need to have flow, and this black jumpsuit definitely has that going for it, plus the pleating in the bodice feels very elegant and a bit more dressy than the others. 


Speaking of dressy, this jumpsuit features some lovely ruffles and polka dots for a more structured take.  



Another pick from UO, this one walks both a casual and dressier line with the easy silhouette and windowpane-esqu pattern. I also, think this could be really flattering for me with the wider straps and shirred elastic waist. 


Of course, all of the above are kind of blah in terms of color....



A very pretty pick in lilac! Again, a shirred bodice is great for ease of fit, and such a summer staple. Two points against this jumpsuit, lack of pockets AND those straps seem a bit flimsy. 

There's the rub! Each of these options have great details, but none of them have ALL the details I need. Easy to wear, works as an outfit within itself, suits my body, thick straps, has pockets, and features a nice balance of structure & flow. Tall order, but I'm not giving up! 


But seriously, which is your favorite of these picks? Let me know in the comments and I may just be swayed to make a purchase....  ðŸ˜Š

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway  for the wedding in July.  Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless.  Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental.

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!
