Outfits Not Just Clothes

coat-Joe Fresh(similar here ), tunic-Uniqlo(similar here ), loafers- Isaac Mizrahi , necklace- chloe + isabel c/o Angela B , stroller- Chicco Bravo via Babies R' Us This denim shift, with black tights and flat shoes has been a go-to look these past few weeks. It's comfy, cute, and flattering if I do say so myself. Plus, with my Joe Fresh coat I'm all sorts of sneakingly coordinated with my stroller! Hey, if you have to push a baby around you should do so with style, amiright? 

jacket- The Fifth Label , tee- Style Mint , jeggings- Joe Fresh , wedges- Shoe Mint , clutch- Banana Republic , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote Here's the clutch from yesterday's post in action! I paired it with the floral bomber jacket, last seen here . Keeping in mind the message on the bag I went with a tee n' jeans combo. The jewelry was from my latest Le Tote   and these wedges fit into the color palette. True a strappy wedge heel isn't really "tomboy," but part of tomboy revelry is rebellion, so there! 

With Easter less than two weeks away my 40 Days of No Shopping (announced here ) will be coming to an end. So in order not to go hog wild I'm taking direction from Who What Wear's Shopping List for Spring Who What Wear The majority of trend-driven items aren't really in my wheelhouse, which is a nice way of saying cropped culottes are stupid, as are lace-up gladiator flats, but I don't want to be all mean-girls up in this piece. Anyway, I'm using this list as a grounding point and a means of reviewing my seasonal basics to discover what I lack and/or what may be in need of upgrading.  After we celebrate Jesus' resurrection from the dead I'll be on the lookout for quality/dressy tees & tanks, sturdy ankle boots, funky sneakers, chic flats, and a carryall leather bag.  Here's what I have my eye on...

jeggings- Joe Fresh , sweatshirt-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Old Navy(similar here ), sleeveless blazer- Thrifted , boots-Loehman's(similar here ), necklace- Duro Olowu for JCPenny , watch- Nixon via Urban Outfitters You may recall my last outfit inspiration post here . I've done it again with this outfit. Inspired by this street style look from Brooklyn Blonde Original Post here Again, it's not an exact replicate, but it takes the idea of a sleeveless jacket/blazer over a jeans and sweater combo. Originally I wasn't going to wear the sweatshirt, but added it at the last second. I've been thinking about sleeveless blazers/blazer-like vests for like two years now, as evidenced by this post . After a year of no shopping, and waiting for various versions to go on sale I FINALLY found an acceptable candidate at the Goodwill of all places! Actually, my friend Tess discovered it while we were on a thrifting adventure and immediate...

shirt/bracelet-J.Crew(similar here and more options here ), jeggings- Joe Fresh , necklaces-Banana Republic(similar here ) and Mikkat Market (similar here ), rings- Jewel Mint , watch- Nixon via Urban Outfitters , hat-Old Navy(similarish here ), boots- Kelly & Kate via DSW We've seen a lot of side stripes in the past two days  here and here . Now it's moving on up, literally from pants to the shit. You may recall the post about this shirt, and even though I proposed doing a DIY version with help from my seamstress (still on the table for another project) I ended up buying the original on SUPER sale!!!   In terms of outfitting, I let the top's simple (with a bit of sparkle) button-down aesthetic dictate the rest of the ensemble. I choose simple pieces like this jeggings and boots then added a bit of flair with the glam accessories. The hat is purely functional as it was chilly when we took these pics.  A warm head is a must ...
