Outfits Not Just Clothes

 There's nothing too fashion forward with this OOTW, nor is it pushing any major style boundaries. However it does feature two statement-making accessories with a simple base of a sweater and jeans...  coat-H&M(similar  here ), sweater- Quince , jeans- Levi's , sunnies-Ralph Lauren(more options  here ), earrings- Amazon , necklace-Benevolence LA(similar  here ), boots- DSW , tote--Stevie Nicks(similar  here ) Yes, I'm carrying a Stevie Nicks tote bag that I picked up at her concert back in September of 2023!!!! It's quite roomy, has an interior pocket, and a zip closure so not your standard tote by any means. The second statement piece of this look are these western boots! Even thought I grew up in a rural setting I haven't ever really explored a Cowboy boot, or much of a Western aesthetic. I'm branching out with these neutral toned boots and wearing them with a more preppy/minimalist outfit. Dipping a toe in, so to speak. We shall see as the season pro...

As the bits of scattered leaves in these pics indicate fall is here friends! Autumn is such a rich sartorial season what with prints, textures, and layers. Here I'm very much serving Autumnal Office!   blazer/belt-Gap(similar here and here ), top-Anthropoloige(similar here ) via Phoenix Boutique , pants- Banana Republic , sunnies-Kate Spade, necklaces-- Mejuri and Benevolence LA , rings- Mejuri , bag- J.Jill , boots-- Kelly & Katie via DSW What I really love about this outfit is the colors and silhouette, both feel very fresh after a sticky summer, but also timeless, a classic outfit formula of turtleneck, trousers, and a blazer.   If you follow me on Instagram , you may have seen this post  of these trousers that I wore to work for a full day (a day with in-person meetings) and neglected to fully remove the tag. 🤦 but no one noticed, hence the advantage of a looser trouser trend.  You may recall this blazer from several other fall outfit posts in pa...

 A couple of Saturdays ago took the kiddos out and about in Lawrenceville to check out Market House , Fancypants Popcorn , and Millies Ice Cream . It was a really gorgeous day and what better reason is there then to throw on a jumpsuit?! As if I need a reason... Jumpsuit/Bralette-- Three Birds Nest , shirt-- Anthropologie , necklace-- Benevolence LA earrings-- BeUStudios via Etsy rings- Mejuri , bracelet-- Bayou with Love , boots- LL. Bean , mask/chain-- MaskC , sunnies-- Ralph Lauren Giving weekend mom a boho twist in this jumpsuit-bralette pairing. One thing I'm not loving is the lack of pockets in this one-piece, however this plaid tunic does have pockets, last seen  here . I'm a big fan of jumpsuits and rompers, especially when summer hits. Last year I even fooled around with an "exercise" dress here . I know people can be down on one-pieces with the whole "How do you go to the bathroom" of it all, but for me it's not a problem. And while I love ...

 It's been an interesting transition from spring to summer. Since my last post my oldest graduated kindergarten, we took a major family trip out west to Colorado, my youngest turned 4, I hit a workplace milestone, and my husband and I celebrated 19 years of marriage! (I know I don't look old enough to be married for so long 😉) For that anniversary dinner I wore this outfit!  dress-- DVF via Rent the Runway , necklace--Benevolence(similar here ), bracelet- Bayou With Love , bag-- Shiraleah , shoes-Born(similar here ), rings--Mejuri(more here ), mask-- MaskC And now some wild windy hair pics for fun!
