Dress & Sweater Combo 1

I picked up this dress in the spring and have worn it casually throughout the summer. Love how it coordinates with this oversized pullover I've had for a few years. Grabbed some sneakers, a ballcap, and sunglasses for a day out an about. 






And now









And some accessory details!





Another sweater change-up!







dress-Universal Standard(more options here), sweater-Nordstrom Rack(similar here), hat-Gap, sunnies-Diff Eyewear, bag-Herschel, necklaces-Mejuri, bracelet-BaYou with Love, sneakers-Ascis(similar here) 

There's a lovely tone-on-tone/monochromatic effect happening with the color story of burgundy, mauve, and lavender in this outfit. There's surprising amount of versatility in styling this sweater with the dress. I went with an unexpected, skewed wrap around for the first series of pics, then donned it traditionally, and lastly slung it over the tote. 

Be on the look out for an upcoming post on another dress & sweater combo with this maxi-dress...

    The colour of that Universal Standard maxi-dress is beautiful.
    I love the drape and look of the fabric.
    It looks fabulous styled with the jumper from Nordstrom Rack.

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...
