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

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!    

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

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
