Outfits Not Just Clothes

blouse-H&M(similarish and more on trend here ), joggers-J.Crew(a non-jogger version here ), loafers-Zara(similar here ), necklace-Gifted(similar here from Etsy ) This floral empire-waisted blouse is OLD, like over a decade. But it's held up nicely and provides print contrast to these pinstriped joggers. Beyond the juxtaposition of florals and stripes, this blouse and pant combo also mashes up romantic feminine style with menswear-inspired traditional suiting. Not too shabby for a back-of-the-closet find on a workday, eh?

So I've been outfitting along that thin line of transitional dressing while being seasonally appropriate. What does that mean? Well it's fall (officially) so I'm not really feeling sundresses and sandals, but it's hot like summer so I can't really bust out plaids, sweaters, and scarves much to my chagrin.  Hence, this look of strategic, yet light layers and a muted color palette. The gold of the necklace and studded loafers bring a bit of glam into this midweek work-wear ensemble. Also, I think it may be time for a haircut...💇

Looking at our former posts it's safe to say that me and my daughter really know how to rock blue! I think it'll be our go-to Mother/Daughter color from now on!  I could go into the details of these looks, and how we're coordinated more so than matching, but I know you just want to see more pics of the adorableness, right? Here you go!  Yes we had some lovely cuddles during this photo sesh. Now that my daughter is walking and running the snuggles come too few and far between. And, while I normally would advise against dresses with tassels or fringe as a mom on the go, they can entertain your little one during lap time.  Lastly, here's a close up o

Mommy: shirt- Gap , dress- Le Tote , loafers- G.H. Bass Baby: dress-Carter's(more dresses here ), sneakers-K.Swiss(similar here ) A boho-themed #twinning #OOTD to start the week off! My little girl and I have had a handful of posts together seen here , here , and here . I think this is my second favorite so far. We've started putting her hair in pigtails and her little face is just so freakin' cute!  As for our outfits, I kept us to a mostly blue palette with hints of pink. Our dresses, while not exact matches do nicely coordinate with their respective abstract, geometric/bohemian-esque patterns for another successful #twinning moment! 

cardi- J.Crew Factory , dress-Madewell(similarish here ), belt-Urban Outfitters(more belts here ), necklace-Banana Republic(similar here ), heels-Sole Society(similarish here ) This sleeveless "tweedy" dress is a great transitional piece for summer-to-fall outfitting. You may recall I featured it around the same time last year in this post . As I wrote then, " The texture and color are very fall-appro, but the silhouette made the 70-degree days bearable. " Make that 80-degree days this time around, and pairing it with my "librarian-chic" cardi made for a great outfitting combo. I glam-ed it up with the necklace and heels, going with gold for a bit of metallic pop, the belt is a work-a-day piece to play up the dress's silhouette.
