Outfits Not Just Clothes

 Florals for spring....groundbreaking. But paired with cowboys boots, and a thrifted cardigan, they are a stylish sight for sore eyes. What a winter is has (and is still) been. But hope, and daylight savings time are on the horizon. Here's a take on transitional dressing as we kick off March!   cardigan-Thrifted from Phoenix Boutique , shirt- Boden (similar here ), skirt & belt -- Amazon , boots-- Coconuts from DSW , bracelets- Nordstrom , mask-- Maskc You may recall these boots from this post . I much prefer them with this silhouette. I think they'd also be great with some dresses this spring.  As for transitional season outfitting, layers are key. I'm rocking a thermal turtleneck, tights, and knee-high socks underneath this top, sweater, skirt combination. Hopefully more regular posting will be happening this month with switching the clocks and brighter days ahead. Thanks for reading!  

In the words of the comedian Tom Segura "Get Fucking Ready!" It's a new year, and I have no clue what joys, horrors, ups, downs, endeavors, and disasters that await. Yes, it has been awhile since I posted due to life events (recent passing of a loved one) and the frenzy of the holiday break (we had visit from both Santa and the Tooth Fairy).  So here's a look from back in November before the end of 2024 slapped me in the face.  coat-Universal Standard(more options here ), sweater-Anthropologie(similar options here , here , and here ), shorts- Boden , socks- Bombas , boots-Nordstrom(more options here ), earrings- Amazon , mask- Maskc I love this coat! The mix of material gives any look some subtle drama plus it's overall cozy. Of course a red boot always hits, but it pairs unexpectedly well with this striped sweater and plaid shorts.  Shorts outside of summer can be tricky. It's a delicate balance of tights, socks, and temperature. I featured shorts most recent...

 Finally a new outfit post of the new year and it only took about eight weeks! I've been finding myself leaning toward monochromatic looks here as 2024 rolls out. Monochromatic can be quite versatile. The easiest form is head-to-toe one color, whether that be something bold like tomato red, or something minimal like grey or all-black. The monochromatic approach I took to this outfit is tone-on-tone, where each element is hanging off a branch from the same color family tree.  dress- Anthropoloige (more here ), coat-Nordstrom(similar here ), turtleneck--H&M(similar here ), loafers- Madewell , bag- Zac Posen (exact version available here via Poshmark ), sunnies- Diff Eyewear , mask- MASKC , earrrings- Amazon We have chocolatey brown, purple, pink, and aubergine, or if you will oxblood, which is a trending shade at the moment. I love the lean silhouette with the coat and dress hitting at the same hem length. I went with a pop of color handbag and mask that played on the color...

Now that autumn has officially arrived it's time to switch out my warm-weather wardrobe for the chunky knits, longer hems, and layering basics of fall. To celebrate the last days of summer I donned this vested outfit!  jacket- J.Crew , vest-H&M(similar here ), tank- Amazon , pants-Banana Republic(similar here ), loafers-Anne Klein(similar here ), sunnies- Kate Spade , necklaces/rings- Mejuri , mask-MASKC(more options here ) While vests are not exclusive to summer, check out this Vogue piece on Vest Outfits for Fall , wearing a one as a top or sans-sleeves is definitely a warm-weather 'fit. Here I styled this menswear-inspired vest with side-striped cropped trousers, a tank, and white denim jacket!
