Outfits Not Just Clothes

 Last week I featured an orange puffer jacket with an activewear matching set here . In this OOTD I'm sporting an orange blazer and mixing things up with workwear over joggers and sneakers.    blazer-J.Crew(similarish here ), shirt-Gap(more options here ), joggers-Columbia Sportswear(more options here ), sunglasses-Ralph Lauren(similar here ), socks- Target , sneakers-Zara(similar here ), ring- Mejuri I kind of have a thing for wearing orange in March, as seen here . I find it such a vibrant and bold color to wear for sprinter (spring/winter). Beyond the season, a good orange can elevate basics, while making statement pieces stand out even more. For this outfit I switched up the expectations by styling a novelty print button-down and tailored blazer with hiking joggers and colorblock sneakers. It's a bit of a mullet look--quirky business up top, urban hike on the bottom. With working from home, I've definitely re-evaluated weekday outfitting, trying to still be stylish wi...

With this recent thaw and warmer days, spring is definitely in the air. And while most think of floral dresses and pastel colors for spring, this outfitter is drawn toward leather! Leather Jacket/Combat Boots-Nordstrom(similar here and here ), blouse- Pavement , sweats- Mango I love the mix of seemingly disparate elements to this look.  The leather jacket and combat boots obviously go hand-in-hand, but this feminine blouse and very unexpected pair of joggers come together for a surprisingly low-key chic outfit. 

cardigan-Free People(similar here ), blouse-Gap(similar here ), joggers- Le Tote (similar here from Asos ), oxfords-Sole Society(similarish here ), watch-Michael Kors(similar here ) Trying to keep things light and breezy during these hot-sticky days. At first blush this OOTD may seem a bit basic. HUHEVER, if you look closer you'll see some subtle outfitting occurring: Exhibit A. the mesh vamps of these oxfords mirror the pattern of these joggers!  Exhibit B. this high-low hem cardigan is the perfect " third piece " over this shirt and pants.  Exhibit C. The overall vibe of this look is laidback chic, no? YES! I rest my case! 

jacket-H&M(similar here ), cardigan-Vintage(similarish here ), tunic- ModCloth , joggers / necklace / bracelet -- Le Tote , boots-LL Bean(similar here ) This OOTD is a variation of my mom uniform from yesterday's post   however, instead of being more laid-back sporty, this style is a odd mix of what I'm calling "Militant Newsie". This olive green military-esque bomber may not seem like the obvious outerwear with these plaid joggers, but it weirdly works, I think in a big part to these boots. What say you?
