Outfits Not Just Clothes

 I've had this classic Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress since 2009! I originally  posted it was in 2014  here !  Now 12 years, a masters degree, and two kids later it's still going strong! trench-Gap(similar here ), dress-Diane von Furstenberg(similar here ), pants-Uniqlo(similar here ), necklace-Banana Republic(similar here ), bracelet / ring -Ana Luisa, bralette- Three Bird Nest , boots-Vince Camuto (similar here via DSW) And apparently I also had this trench back then because I wore it with this dress in the original post! I was 33 in the above pick and wearing heels! Now at 45 I'm still rocking this wrap, but in a more eclectic take with the layering over pants and bralette. Who wore it better? 33-year-old me or 45-year-old me? 

 A couple of Saturdays ago took the kiddos out and about in Lawrenceville to check out Market House , Fancypants Popcorn , and Millies Ice Cream . It was a really gorgeous day and what better reason is there then to throw on a jumpsuit?! As if I need a reason... Jumpsuit/Bralette-- Three Birds Nest , shirt-- Anthropologie , necklace-- Benevolence LA earrings-- BeUStudios via Etsy rings- Mejuri , bracelet-- Bayou with Love , boots- LL. Bean , mask/chain-- MaskC , sunnies-- Ralph Lauren Giving weekend mom a boho twist in this jumpsuit-bralette pairing. One thing I'm not loving is the lack of pockets in this one-piece, however this plaid tunic does have pockets, last seen  here . I'm a big fan of jumpsuits and rompers, especially when summer hits. Last year I even fooled around with an "exercise" dress here . I know people can be down on one-pieces with the whole "How do you go to the bathroom" of it all, but for me it's not a problem. And while I love ...

Last week was a scorcher so the bralette action was still going strong underneath these linen overalls. I like an all-black look in high summer, especially for us city-dwellers, very urbane, no? Being rendered in a breathable fabric with some exposed, but not too-exposed, skin makes this a bearable, and cool outfit in the heat and humidity.  overalls- Amazon , bralette- Three Bird Nest , shoes- March Fisher , sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace--Cookie Lee (more options via Poshmark here ) This looks is definitely casual and a bit boho in essence especially with air-dried wavy hair. The leaf-esque necklace makes the look feel a bit special. I got this piece from my mother when she sold  Cookie Lee home-party jewelry. The company is caput now and it wasn't really my style, but there were a few pieces now and again that spoke to my aesthetic.  This week has been much more temperate, I can feel fall in the early morning air....she says before checking the forecast with highs ...
