Dressing Room Antics

Last month for my birthday I indulged in a practice I haven't done in ages. I tried on clothes I had not intention of buying at Anthropologie!

The line-up!

Does anyone else do that? Grab what looks interesting or something outside of your comfort zone and then experiment in the dressing room?

More shorts here!

Similar T-Shirt here!

Jeans and you may have seen my reel of trying these on. 😉

These pants were kind of wild in the amount of material and pleats. Can we still talk about if something is flattering? Or is flattering now a coded word? Let's just say I don't think I have the height or the waist for these trousers. Don't get me wrong, I DO have a waist, just not a waist for which these pants work best.

Now THESE pants (similar here) form Scotch & Soda are more up my alley. Tried them on with the blazer I wore to the store and my loafers to get an outfitting sense of how they can work.

I loved the collegiate feel of this sweater, tried it on with a few outfit combos. And how cute are these pants?! 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑

And finally mixing up some luxe PJ bottoms with a long-sleeve shirt and an oversized button up!

Along with the Scotch & Soda pants I got this drawstring bottom and of course a candle. Happy Birthday to 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 ...
