Bralette & Overalls

Last week was a scorcher so the bralette action was still going strong underneath these linen overalls. I like an all-black look in high summer, especially for us city-dwellers, very urbane, no? Being rendered in a breathable fabric with some exposed, but not too-exposed, skin makes this a bearable, and cool outfit in the heat and humidity.  overalls- Amazon , bralette- Three Bird Nest , shoes- March Fisher , sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace--Cookie Lee (more options via Poshmark here ) This looks is definitely casual and a bit boho in essence especially with air-dried wavy hair. The leaf-esque necklace makes the look feel a bit special. I got this piece from my mother when she sold  Cookie Lee home-party jewelry. The company is caput now and it wasn't really my style, but there were a few pieces now and again that spoke to my aesthetic.  This week has been much more temperate, I can feel fall in the early morning air....she says before checking the forecast with highs ...

Black n' White with Sliver n' Gold

I'm loving how these necklaces contrast and compliment each other, and play off the chain motif in the scarf.  dress-J.Crew Factory(similar here ), blazer- Gap , shoes-Zara(similar here ), necklaces- Cookie Lee , bracelet- Jewel Mint , bracelet /watch-Michael Kors(similar watch here ), scarf-Vintage/Gifted This is a pretty straightforward outfit of a blazer with a dress and scarf so I wanted to do something interesting with the jewelry. It's subtle, but I'm mixing both gold and silver pieces together. Usually, I'll either stick with one or the other, but I thought it would be fun to wear both with this look. \ Also, I know this scarf is not achieving it's full style potential being just thrown on. I'm going to have to play around and see how else I can wear it... maybe a scarf-tying tutorial for a future post! 

Tuxedo & Steps

blazer / pants - Ines de la Fressange for Uniqlo , top-Lemieux via Le Tote , necklaces- House of Harlow /Gazel(similar here ) via Le Tote , bracelet-J.Crew Factory(similar here ), sneakers-Old Navy(similar here ), sunnies- Cookie Lee , watch -Nixon via Urban Outfitters   Yes, this a tuxedo(!!!!) from the ongoing Ines de la Fressange collaboration with Uniqlo. The jacket is velvet--perfect for the holiday season--and the pants wool. I've paired them with this vibrant cobalt blue top, and played off the formality of a tux with sporty printed slip-on sneakers. It's a fun mix of dressy and casual that I think will be a perfect aesthetic for the upcoming holiday party shebang! Also, I love wearing a two, or even up to three, delicate gold necklaces tiered, or layered. It feels intentional with a bit on nonchalant chic.

A Red Cords Moment

jacket- Old Navy , cords-Gap(available in other colors here ), sweater-Uniqlo(similar here ), scarf-H&M(similar here ), jewelry- Cookie Lee , boots-Forever 21(sort of similar here ) I have been thinking about red cords for quite some time, as evidenced by these posts  here , here , and all the way back in 2011 here !  I ordered these from the Gap and when they came wasn't 100% sold on them. Then I ordered two different sizes from Landsend , which I ended returning both pairs in favor of the above. It's been quite a journey, but I feel like I've made a solid choice.
