Toadstool Overalls at The Frick Pittsburgh

A few weeks ago we went for a grown-ups only trip to our local neighbor museum The Frick Pittsburgh and I wore what has been a kind of go-to look for outings this past winter/spring. I donned these same toadstool printed overalls for the neighborhood light-up night last December and as well as an I Made it Market event back in February. This bright Henley-style top has been the usual undershirt and on colder occasions I topped everything off with the shacket from this post.  





















trench-Asos(more options here), shirt-Gap(similar here), overalls-Cider(similar here and here), boots-Columbia Sportswear, tote-The Frick Pittsburgh, sunnies-Ralph Lauren(similar here)

For this warmer "field trip" I switched out the shacket for this trench, but kept the hiking boots and carried along a branded tote for gift shop purchases. 

Say what you will about women over 40 wearing overalls, a traditionally juvenile garment, especially when rendered in a novelty print. True it's not the most chic approach to outfitting, but it's fun and playful. Would I wear this work? No! Would I wear this to a kids birthday party? Maybe. Would I wear this to a brewery on a crisp day, or for some apple-picking? Definitely. It's all about the right event/venue/occasion to bust out out more quirky, fantastical pieces as you get older.

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...
