Outfits Not Just Clothes

 Wore this outfit for Easter Sunday and I'm not bragging when I say that I flipping nailed it! We've got color, we've got functionality, we're on theme, we stand out and this is most definitely an outfit, not just clothes!  coat- Target , thrifted from Thriftique  (similar here , here , and here from Poshmark ) shirt-- Ashir Aley via Amazon (available on Ebay ), pants--Boden(similar here ), earrings- Amazon , mask- Maskc , rings- Mejuri , bag-Coach(similar retail here , similar via Poshmark here and here ) loafers- G.H.Bass , lipstick-- M.A.C . I'm loving the pink in this look. Plus the lime green liner of the coat that picks up on the kerchiefs on the jackalopes in the print. This pattern speaks to the an Easter theme while also being a bit subversive with a mythical creature print that's similar to the standard bunny, but flips it on its head, or rather it's antlers. 🐰🐇🦌.  All of these details really pop, while also being easy to wear with the chur...

 Spring can be such a invigorating time for many reasons.

 There are so many approaches to holiday dressing. You can go the quirky route with an ugly Christmas sweater, the glitzy route with sparkles, go for a comfy look in matching PJs, or just try to stay warm. For this look I went with a classic go-to outfit uniform, sweater over a dress.  sweater-Saks Off Fifth(more options here ), dress-Gap(similar here ), tights-Target, loafers- G. H. Bass , sunnies- Diff Eyewear I love the idea of fair isle sweater for holiday wear, it's festive without being too on-the-nose and you can wear all winter long, as I did in previous posts  here and here . For those outfits I went with a more menswear route, here I'm going feminine with a springtime dress. Sure, this may come off a little dowdy, but I'm loving the color story of navy, robin's egg blue, and grey. Plus, there's the general hygge-ness of this look, again a perfect holiday vibe! 

coat-Melloday(similar here ) via Nordstrom Rack , sweater-Saks Off Fifth(similar here ), shirt- H&M , trousers- Banana Republic , loafers- G. H. Bass , necklace-vintage/gifted Why yes, I did wear this same coat in my last post here . It's beginning to feel a lot like Spring, so coatigans, mid-weight jackets, and oversized blazers are all coming out of the cedar closet! For this OOTD I went the more androgynous route with navy trousers, loafers, and a button-down. I also got creative with my hygge-inspired sweater from this post , and draped it as a scarf. The sweater as scarf trend has been a round the street style block for a few seasons now, as seen here . And that's the great thing about the seasonal shifts and transitional dressing, as it provides the opportunities to rethink how to wear and pair particular garments.
