Outfits Not Just Clothes

 Another post in front(ish) of a river. This time the Allegheny with PNC Park in the background. Shooting downtown always yields striking pics. This is what I wore for the Mae Martin show The Possum at the Byham Theatre last week.  cardi / earrings --Amazon, turtle shell-Gap(more turtles here ), pants- Uniqlo , sunnies- Diff Eyewear , necklace-Slide Jewels(similar here ), bracelet / ring -Ana Luisa, tote- Handsome Podcast , sneaker-Cole Haan(more options here ) These pants are part of  "matching set" featured here . I love the idea of olive green with graphic black and white stripes, just feels so fresh, but easy.

For this go-round of animal prints I've been seeing a lot of va-va-va-voom styling, here's my more modest approach.  trench-Asos(more options here ), cardigan-Banana Republic(more options here ), shirt- J.Crew ,(more options here , here , and here via Poshmark ) pants- Everlane , loafers-Anne Klein(similar here ), sunnies- Diff Eyewear , earrings- Amazon , bracelet- Bayou With Love , rings- Nordstrom & Mejuri(more options here ) I've had this printed button-down from J.Crew for almost a decade and I've worn it under a sweater with matching cropped trousers as seen in this post . Under another matching sweater and trouser set in this post . With trouser shorts and a blazer from this post . And in countless ...
