Split Skirt, Wrap Sweater, Full Chic

Going back to the office three days a week has been a challenge in regards to shooting outfits. With my husband/photographer working from home we have extremely limited opportunities for pictures, as in times past we would shoot on the way home from work as we commuted together. Now I'm driving semi-solo to and from the office. FYI, my 3-year-old does not take good pictures and can't be bothered with any of it after I pick her up from preschool. So, here we have a rare, yet elegant outfit all the way from last month!!! 😲



















sweater-Nordstrom Rack(similar here), tee-Style Mint(similarish here from Poshmark), skirt-Thriftique, boots-Vince Camuto from Nordstrom, earrings--Wisteria Sky Boutique via Etsy, necklace-Banana Republic, rings-Mejuri


How ladylike is this?! And while this color palette isn't traditionally autumnal, it does speak to the transitional time of this season, especially with it having been such a warm Sept/Oct here in Pittsburgh. I originally picked up this skirt, with a different top from our local Thirftique #shoplocalpgh anticipating wearing it for my first big in-person meeting at work.  Morning of, I decided silhouette-wise it the shirt was too bulky for this skirt and swapped it for this striped fitted tee and wrap sweater. Loving how the crossover neckline mimics the split/wrap cut of the skirt, no? Also, the pattern and texture of this skirt is subtle, yet so dynamic and pairs beautifully with gold jewelry and these western-esque ankle boots. I can't wait to pair these boots with more fall looks as the weather finally starts to turn.  And hopefully post more frequent as we settle into the routines of work and school. 

Happy Fall 🍂🍁🐦🍎

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.
