Outfits Not Just Clothes

March is winding down and spring trends are ramping up. From last summer's outrageous Brat Green , which I never even attempted to incorporate into my style, this spring is seeing a resurgence of pastels and deeper tones. Here's my take on a monochromatic look with olive green and sage hues.  jacket--H&M(similar here ), shirt / pants --Uniqlo, sunnies--Versace(more options here ), necklace--Banana Republic(similarish here ), ring / bracelet -Ana Luisa, boots-Vince Camuto(similar here ) from Nordstrom This "matching set" from Uniqlo features the trending barrel pant silhouette, not my usual fit, but you can't argue with it when paired with the cropped adjustable button-down and a pair of statement boots. I may also style this look with combat boots for messier days. This oversized quilted jacket is almost over a decade old, but it's utilitarian vibe keeps it in style. I've worn it with a pop of pink in years past and it would work "playing against...

October is quite a stylish month if I do say so myself. Not only do we finally get the fall chill (at least here in the Mid-Atlantic region) that allows for layers, textures, prints, etc. It's also tinged (or fully dunked depending on your Spooky Season sensibilities) with macabre vibes that make for intriguing outfits. Here I've leaned into a witchy color palette of purples and blacks.  blazer-DVF(available here and here via Poshmark ), shirt- Wildfang , pants-Everyone & Everybody(other options here via ThredUp ), sunnies-Versace(more options here and here ), bag-Zac Posen, shoes-Nordstrom (more options here ) While the color combos feel witchy (usually associated with a feminine aesthetic) the pieces themselves (blazer, button-down, trousers, and oxfords) are more masculine, or to get off the binary, androgynous in tone to create an interesting contrast.

 The first day of winter is almost upon us and I'm continuing my rustic theme mode of holiday dressing and getting sh*t done in these coveralls! coveralls-Everlane(similar here ), dickie-Gap(full length version here ), boots- Sam Edelman via Nordstrom, sunnies- Kate Spade , earrings- Amazon , bracelet- Bayou With Love , rings- Mejuri and Nordstrom , pin- Ceremonial The solstice is the perfect time to explore a bit of witchy-ness. This Steve Nicks pin is a subtle nod to that vibe, while these utility overalls are all about getting the business done! It's a hectic time of year and while I wouldn't call this 'fit fashion with a capital "F" it's definitely a strong look. I love a one piece that makes a statement without too many bells and whistles.   We'll be traveling for the holidays, but hopefully weekly posts will resume in the new year. Take care this season!
