Outfits Not Just Clothes

Sometimes a good outfit can be a simple t-shirt & jeans, with boots and a blazer for a bit of polish. I also layered in a chambray shirt for some denim-on-denim action, which is a styling trick I really like for spring. Of course this t-shirt serves up a message.  "They Didn't Burn Witches They Burned Women" blazer-J.Crew(similar here ), shirt-Gap(similar here ), T-shirt- TeePublic ,  jeans- Universal Standard , bracelets- Nordstrom , ring-Mejuri(similar here ), boots-DSW(similar here ) On the surface there's nothing revolutionary about this look. Again, a fairly simple formula of jeans, tee, blazer, and boots with a layered chambray shirt. However, the bright orange and how it plays on the colors of the T-shirt, and of course the messaging makes these clothes an outfit.  I'm not going to presume that I'm changing the world by wearing a feminist T-shirt, but it's in the small ways and subtle cues is part of making a difference especially for these two...

 Weather, amiright? One day it's sweltering, then it's raining buckets, the next gloomy, chilly, and also humid... This tank top speaks perfectly to the state of my mind... tank top- Tee Public , shorts- Nordstrom Rack , necklace- Ana Luisa , ring- Skelton Jewelry , shoes-- Native Shoes In these dog days of summer, I'm just trying to survive. I've had this tank since last summer, when the sentiments of it were beyond appropriate. I bought this in support of one of my favorite podcasts " You're Wrong About ".  This mantra is still seeing me through the ongoing challenges of working from home, preparing to go BACK into my office come September, parenting, spousing, modern womaning, all of it! Yes, this is just pull-on shorts and a tank, but the tie dye and humor (and jewelry) make this more of a "look" if not an outfit.
