New Style Life































blazer-Banana Republic(similarish here), shirt/joggers-Uniqlo(more casual shirt options here), boots-LandsEnd

 For some reason, this camo shirt and tweedy blazer live on the same hanger in my closet. I think this occurred during one of my wardrobe reorganizing frenzies when I went with a color-coded system. Sometimes I like to shake things up with an overhaul of hanger partners, which doesn't necessarily make things more efficient, but DOES give me new ideas on how to style my current wardrobe. Consider it another way of shopping one's closet. So, I've breathed some new style life into this blazer with this camouflage button-up, while keeping the look casual with black joggers and duck boots. 

 And speaking of "new style life" I realize my posting has been haphazard at best, and the past few posts I haven't really brought my Style A-Game.  Maybe this post should be "Lack of a Style Life" because folks, motherhood is HARD, especially the second time around. I've just not been able to outfit at a blog-appropriate level, and when I do, getting pics can be a struggle. This time of year, if we can't shoot on the way to work/daycare, then it just doesn't happen. Plus, most morning #thestruggleisreal getting out of the door on time, so much so, that I'm not even wearing makeup. This is all of a way of explaining that posting for the foreseeable future will be limited. Hopefully I can get to it at least once, if not twice a week. 

 Thanks for reading/following and I hope you'll hang on with me.

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 ...
