Outfits Not Just Clothes

 As summer is coming to a close I have one more strip-loving look to share with you all. You may recall the sweater from this post . Well here it is again, AND shot in the same location. Same sweater, same spot, different outfit!  If you look closely you may notice that most of my nails have a French-tip thanks to Ohora . The index finger stick-on didn't make it through the day, but the rest of may nails stayed nice for a whole week. Stick-on Manis may be in my future.  sweater-Madewell(similar here ), dress- Gap , sunnies-Versace(check out options from the Sunglass Hut here ), jewelry- Nordstrom , tote- The Frick Pittsburgh Gift Shop , sneakers-H&M(similar here ) Are there too many stripes? No, of course not! And even those these stripes aren't tone-on-tone matching, it still works because of the contrasting proportions of each stripe pattern. Wider spacing on the sweater creates enough of a visual break from the tighter stripes of the dress for an overall dynamic lo...

 This winter just won't quit! I've been staying cozy indoors in fleece-lined leggings and oversized sweaters.  But we were able earlier this week to venture out of doors for another sweater weather OOTD! These boots have definitely seen a LOT of action this season! sweater- Mango , dress- Amazon , headband- Anthropologie , necklaces- Benevolence LA & Merjui , watch- Wenger , ring- Merjuri , boots-Sorel(similar here ), leggings- Athleivate In this post I styled this cozy comfy sweater with jeans, a pea coat, and fedora.  But as you can see the snow is melting and  I've layered this fringed beauty over a maxi-dress and deployed a headband.  It's been over a year since I've had a hair cut and I've somewhat embraced the longer length, but mostly I find myself piling my hair into a messy bun. Love how this headband gives it more of a "done" feel.  Another thing I love about this outfit is of course, the pockets, and also the subtle drama that comes wi...

 On a warmish day here recently, I had some fun with a eclectic outfit for the daycare pickup run.  coatigan- Nordstrom Rack , sweater-Mango(similar here ), pants-Uniqlo(similar here ), combat boots-Nordstrom(similar here ), ring- Skelton Jewelry , lips- MAC nail- tenoverten I've never been one to shy away from an eclectic OOTD, as seen here and here . For this outfit I layered a cropped sweater top under a coatigan as a mid-layer then shed my overcoat for a few quick pics on the way to daycare pickup. These pull-on flannel pants are such a fun take on winter loungewear. The print suggests a more springtime vibe, but the dark colors and fabric are right in line with winterwear. The combat boots, dark lip, and darker nail give the overall look a bit of edge, while the ring is a subtle accessory, no need for any other jewelry. Was this a bit much for a school run? Do the teachers, kids, and other parents even notice?  Am I wearing elevated clown pants? Should I have stood...
