Outfit of Many Parts

This outfit was built around a literal foundation garment--a bodysuit. From there it was a matter of picking pieces that spoke to each other to bring together a look. Unlike, my last post that had a very clear style point of you view, this outfit has a more eclectic aesthetic.  blazer/bodysuit- Gap (similar options here  and here ), skirt- Universal Standard , sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , scarf- Ralph Lauren (similar here ), belt- Amazon , boots- Nordstrom (similar here ) Forgive my hunched appearance, I always remember to stand up straight when it's too late. The seeds of this look, which did come together a bit waywardly, were planted from this  Who What Wear article.  It featured both bodysuits and silk split skirts as "must haves" for spring, but didn't necessarily style them in the same look. Pairing them together on my own, I then reached for this belt, boots, and blazer. The scarf came almost as an afterthought for a bit of coverage. The scoop neckline of this bo...

My Downton Abbey Movie Outfit

blazer-J.Crew(similar here ), pants-Gap(similar here ), shirt- H&M , vest-Vintage(similar here from Patrick James ), scarf/sunnies-Ralph Lauren(similar here and here ), boots-Forever 21(similar here ) In celebration of the turn toward cooler weather I decided to play around with some layers and menswear in this in OOTD! There's only one piece of actual menswear--this 70's vintage vest (that is reversible!!!!) I "borrowed" from my Dad 20-odd years ago. The shirt and blazer are classic autumn staples, and when paired with simple cropped pants, rugged boots, and a designer scarf, not only does this look have an androgynous feel, but it's also giving off some major English Country Side--it's not too late to catch that Downton Abbey movie, eh? 

Spring Scarf

scarf / jacket - Le Tote , shirt-Gap(similar here ), pants-Uniqlo(more options here ), loafers- G. H. Bass , watch-Michael Kors(similar here ) Like sweaters(as discussed in this post ), scarves are usually associated with autumn however, the transitional season of spring provides ample opportunities to outfit with a scarf! This dotted, diamond-print wrap pairs perfectly with my bird-print trousers (also a spring staple), together they provide an eclectic counterpoint to the standard office shirt and neutral, knitwear bomber jacket. Like cardigans, a springtime scarf allows you to play with layers and can be quite functional on chilly April/May mornings.  An additional note on functionality, the "sweatshirt" fabric of this bomber is great for baby drool! 

Happy V-Day

blazer-J.Crew Factory(similar here ), dress- www.eshakti.com (similar here ), scarf-H&M(similar here ), boots-DSW(similar here ) I know, I know, red is such a cliche for Valentine's Day, but it could have been worse. I could have worn hearts, like last year in this post . 😋 All kidding aside, this red shift is so easy to wear and with this plaid blazer, a scarf, and boots I have a bold, but not over-the-top OOTD for the office.  I have no comment on the state of my hair... 👱😖
